Hi all!
I got my little Axolotl Snorky end of May 2020. When I got him from the pet store, the poor little guys gills were minimal with some fluffy bits, he didn't have any feet/only small stumps, his tail had a chunk missing and he wasn't in a good way
Its now been about 2 months, and he now has miniature hands on his tiny legs, his tail is showing growth but his gills are just not looking any better, infact the fluff is now droopy.
I treated him about 2 weeks ago as he has small cotton stings/fungus on his gills, which have now gone.
.
The following are my water parameters:
GH: 60-120ppm
KH: 40ppm
PH: 6.5-7
NO2: 0mg/L
NO3: 0mg/L
Temperature: 15°C (no heater)
He is now on a steady diet of tiger worm's, eating 1 a day(chopped into 4 small pieces), sometimes 1 every two days but I always try to feed him in case he is hungry but he sometimes just wont eat them if he is full.
Can anyone advise what they think is going on? Is there a way I can make them grow back? Is my KH too low/would that have an affect?
I hope he is okay!
Thanks so much for your help
