Hi,
I have an axolotl, about 8 months old. My axolotl recently stopped eating, it's been about a week. She had pale gills for a few days about a week ago and then went back to normal coloration.
However since then it looks like she's constipated, she has been floating and shows all the signs. Her gills are curled and occasionally her tail will be. It may be gas as she will float then hide away and be ok. I am guilty of over feeding. I didn't realized they couldn't eat as much and would give her 2 -4 pallets daily to every other day. The only thing I'm wondering about is this strange thing in her back.
I don't know if it is fungus or part of the constipation. I will include a photo. That appeared only two or so days ago.
I am wondering if I am jumping to the fridging too quickly or if it will be right for her.
Just in case I have prepared a container of water with room temp bottled water and am measuring the inside of the fridge.
