Illness/Sickness: Axolotl biting second axolotl

[saaskiakia]

Hello. I have 2 axolotls. They're in tank 50x30x25..One is named Boni and the second is Igi. I have them one week. They're really little, but i have a big problem with them. Igi is biting Boni. Boni don't have about 2 cm from his tail... I thought that i don't feed them enough, so i started to feed them everyday a little more. But he's still doing that. Please help, it is urgent.
I know that he will regenerate but i am scared, because he's still doing that and Boni is afraid of Igi.

you must seperate them, when they are babies they have cannibalistic qualities. you can buy a tank divider until they get older

And be sure to monitor Boni's tail so that no fungus develops! You can add a catappa leaf/Indian almond leaf to the tank as a precaution. They are anti-bacterial and will strengthen the protective mucus layer!

I thought they were too small to give anything to the tank. I have got instructions that only after a half-year can I give there something. So can I?

No problem! Once they are about 6 inches long you can slowly reintroduce them.
