Aloha All,
I am very new to Axolotls and got my first one about a month and a half ago. During that time she has grown rapidly and I am wondering if she is healthy.
1. Her gills seem way bigger then other pics of Axolotls i have seen online
2. Is she obese? She is not very active(never has been) She mostly stays on only one half of the tank and never swims only waddles around occasionally. The only way I can get her to swim up at all is by enticing her with an earthworm.
Right now she is in a 10 gallon planted tank. I am diligent about monitoring water parameters and suck up any poop/ extra food daily. I also do a 10-20% water change daily.
I feed her sinking pellets daily and an earthworm every 2-3 days.
Any thoughts would be greatly appropriated!
Mahalo!
