I just picked up Benni from his previous owner a few days ago along with his established tank. I’m not super worried about my water parameters as they are all looking great, but I am a little worried about his size.
His previous owner told me was about 18 months old and that he has failure to thrive and will not grow any bigger. I’m not super convinced about this because what she told me is she has been feeding him only blood worms because of how small he is and from what I understand blood worms don’t have much nutritional value. I plan to feed him primarily pellets from now on.
Does anyone have experience with an axolotl with failure to thrive? I want to make sure I am doing what is best for him!
