Hi All

First time on here so thought would give it a shot - I woke up to find my tiger axol (Howie) dead in the most horrific looking way ever! He was upright, his mouth open and his arms, legs and gills all shrivelled up and the skin was hanging off his stomach! I also have another pink salamanda (Hillary) who is fine. To me it looked like he had had a heart attack or dies of fright? the night before he had been fine but the week before had been smashing around his tank a bit in a frenzy? any ideas what may of happened? he was 12 months old and the other still seems fine? this all happened in a matter of about 8 hours as he seemed fine when I went to bed?

:( :confused:
 
Probably poor water conditions. What size tank were they in? Temp? Do you have a test kit to check ammonia/nitrates/nitrites?
