Axie won't eat

[MistressOfAxies]

Hey guys I'm having trouble with my third axolotl I bought at the flea-markets last Saturday. Its name is Ice. Since having her she hasn't eaten one thing. Her body seems to be ok she doesn't seem to be loosing weight I'm just worried coz my 2 young axies love the earthworms I feed them every a/noon & my fat one Chub-Chub loves dead feeder fish (won't eat earthworms..fussy cow, lol) but anything I try with her to feed by tongs she doesn't want. Instead she finds it somewhat annoying & just walks away. I leave a few droplets of shrimp pellets in there near her gob just incase she wants to eat them but I haven't seen her.

I have a huge tank set up (6 foot by 2 foot by 18 inch) with an awesome filter (1200l/ph canister also one at the other end toto internal power filter 2200l/ph). The water temp is slightly high at 80 farenheight but my aquarium chiller is coming in this week so that wont be long (wasn't cheap either). Just getting a little worried any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Ty

They will usually take a week or so to settle in.

Is this one in the same tank as the others? If it is you really need to quarantine any new companions for 30 days minimum, to ensure they are indeed healthy (don't take the word of the breeder/seller/petshop) and will not make your current residents sick; otherwise you could have a possible problem on your hands if it was sick etc...

Okies cheers kapo I'll see how she goes. I tried feeding her again this a/noon but she turned her nose away. There is one thing I have noticed althou she is white all over she's getting like orange pigments formed on & around her head. I've read up on fugus's & things like that, it don't look like a fungus but more of a pigmentation but wasn't there when I got her last Saturday plus its only on her head area. Ill keep close watch.
