Illness/Sickness: Axolotl injured again

[Sir Lancelotl]

My male axolotl is constantly getting injured and when I looked last I saw that one of his arms was missing and the other badly injured. This is not happening to the female so I don't think it is due to bad water. If anybody has any solutions it would be much appreciated.

How do you feed your axolotls? Do you feed them at the same time, in separate places? That might help keep them from fighting over food.

Is the female axolotl naturally aggressive perhaps?

 

[Bette]

Certain ones just tend to be scrappy. And perhaps they need to be fed more often. A permanent solution would be to purchase or make a tank partition.

Unless you are keeping anything else in the tank with them, it is most likely that the female is biting the male. If it keeps happening, you need separate them.

Okay thanks for the advice :happy:

If there adults just increase the amount of food, females tend to eat more than males to produce eggs. If they are juvies are they the same size? What and how much do you feed them ? Some pics please
