My axolotl has not been feeding for two weeks, there do not seem to be any visible problems such as fungus, the water temperature has been kept low, normally she eats frozen beef heart, so I don't think it can be a case of contaminated food...she has started floating in the past couple of days, I am unable to tell if she has swallowed a stone...I'm very worried about losing her, so any suggestions as to what might be wrong will be greatly appreciated...thanks
 
how old/big is it? have you considered trying a different food perhaps?
 
My axolotl just went 4 weeks moping around and not eating. He just started eating last night. All you can do is keep the water quality good, offer a variety of food and isolate him if you have others in the tank and you think he may have something contagious. But it is a worry when they don't eat. I don't know whereabouts in Australia you are, but it has been pretty cold in Perth and I think that had something to do with it. Good luck.
 
Thanks for your interest everyone but Sunny died the other day...
