Hi all!

I recently got a wild type axolotl, their name is Loki and they’ve been perfectly fine for the last 10 days until yesterday morning. I woke up and they had a bend in their tail near their back legs, and they were laying flat bellied on the bottom of the tub. They’re tubbed as my tank hasn’t finished cycling and I don’t want to put them at risk. I kept an eye on them all day yesterday and they ate about a third of a cube of frozen bloodworm and two pellets. I woke up this morning and they looked slightly skinnier than yesterday and I’m worried. Very lethargic and struggling to move, not using their legs much? So when they try to swim they struggle unless they dart away. Looking for some advice! I’ve attached a picture from yesterday (7.4.21) and the parameters of his tub are all perfect, the ammonia is 0, the nitrite is 0 and the nitrate is 0, the pH is 7 and the temperature is 17 d.celcius.

Thanks in advance!
Grace
