I work with 3 anderson salamanders, two males and one female. Currently the female is not eating and hasn't eaten for around 2 weeks. Visibly, she hasn't lost any weight and she has no obvious health issues. We test our water weekly, all parameters seem good. 25% water change every 2 weeks. Temperate is roughly 18 degrees celcius daily. The only thing we can think of is she may have eaten a small floating plant we had in the tank (has now been removed). How would i know if she has a blockage, how do we get rid of any blockage? Could anyone help with methods to try and get her to eat again?
 
A late response, hopefully your problem has already been solved. Not eating for two weeks at a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius is no problem. A blockage seems unlikely to me. They are able to empty their stomachs themselves. This happens when the food is not digested properly or after eating aquatic snails.
