Bloated and battered Axie

[lotlman]

Hi All,
I recently discovered one of my Axolotls( I keep 6 in a 6 foot tank) started to look a bit bloated and his gills have started to recede/retract.
His limbs are quite abraided and the very tip of his tale is missing( I think his tankmates have been a bit mean to him since he started to not feel well)
I'm not quite sure what's going on with him. I have him fridged right now, just as a default solution and to isolate him as well. Water is slightly hard, with ph around 7.4
I have been keeping him and his tankmates for about 5 years in a 120 gallon, chillled tank (70 degrees F) with no issues up until now.
Any ideas?

Bloat is really serious, I would recommend a vet visit ASAP.

Bless him, I feel the only action that can be taken regarding bloat is a trip to the vet, if you're able to. It really isn't easy to treat, if at all, without a professional. This should be your main concern at the moment. Tails, legs, etc are all easily healed on there own if their water is clean and cool. Good luck.

You took the words out of my mouth.
