Hey guys! So I'm Megan, and fairly new to this forum.
I just got my first axolotl, Apollo, last Monday. He's about 3 inches, so still young.
Anyways today, which is the day after my first major water change day, I noticed he was floating at the top, then he'd try to swim down to the bottom and grab a rock with his one remaining paw to stay down.
I took him out and put him into a shallow square container, where he had no issues touching the bottom and he seemed fine. I fed him half a square of thawed out myesis shrimps (which the pet store recommended?) then put him back in his tank. His tank is at 65F.
So now he isn't floating anymore but his tail is curled up like a hook which is bad?
I'm so confused and I'm scared he's sick or something and don't know what to check or do?! Everywhere I research about it I seem to get conflicting answers so I decided to ask you guys what you think is up
Thanks for any input!!
mwahh!
