Hello,
I'm new to this site and I joined so that I could hopefully get some advice for my axolotl, Pochancho. He has been floating upside down for several weeks. My friend gave him back to me after I returned from a trip, and she said that he's been upside down for a while. His tank doesn't have any substrate so he didn't swallow any gravel, the water temperature is around 70 F, and I lowered his water levels so that he could hopefully stand, but he can't. I feed him some amphibian pellets that sink, and nothing else. He eats perfectly fine, but I know that he doesn't like being upside down. I've googled and read up on what I should do, but there wasn't much information. Please help! I really want him to be more comfortable. :sad:
