axie not eating

[debbie]

hi,
my axie is about 7 inches long and ive had him about 3 months he shares a tank with another axie about the same size i went to feed him yesterday and he was grabbing the food and then spitting it out again and eventually avoiding the food all together i also noticed that he isnt as active as he was yet the other axie is fine and eating well need some help if possible im feeding them earthworms, pellets, bloodworms and mealworms i have heard that mealworms can bite and was thinking that one has bitten him in his mouth making it uncomfarteble to eat also his gills have gone much pailer than usual can anyone help plz.

What is the temp in the tank? How often do you feed them?

 

[debbie]

the temp is slightly over about 22c but ive ordered fan to bring the temp down i feed them every day is that too much

The temp is high A fan would help. At 7 inches 2-3 days is good . He might just not be hungry. I think try feeding less often. If they act like they are hungry you can give a little treat in between.
