Hi.
I read that placing the axolot in the fridge helps with floating problem but I have questions about what is the temperature that is expected on the fridge.
I also read that putting the axolot with very few water will also help, can I give him a massage on the stomach to expel the air? should the air be expelled by the mouth?
My water conditions are ok, I change 50% of water daily and use Holtfreter's solution at 40%.
Diet consist in live food raised by myself: daphnia, earth worms (Eisenia foetida) and recently mosquito larvae. The axolots is eating normaly.
As you can see in the photo there is an air bubble on the stomach and makes him stay in the surface by one side.
The tank has not substrate and has air pump that barely touches the surface of the water and keeps a very soft movement of the water mirror.
Temperature of water is around 18° (64F).
