I have my 2 axolotls, had them for almost 2 months, I think they're from the same clutch and are a few months old, 4-5 inches. The WT has grown by leaps and bounds and is always very active, but the leuc is a little smaller and less active. It's been hot here, I have a fan on the tank 24/7 and the thermometer on the side looks like it's below any readable temperature, so that's good. My Leucistic, Lenny, has been very quiet lately, more than normal. He sits under the filter intake or one of the hides close by and doesn't move, the last few times I fed them I didn't see him go for the jar. I don't see any rocks in his tummy, they're on play sand and some of the grains are a bit larger, but nothing would obstruct I don't think. He's pale and his gills aren't as pink, a few days ago I saw some of his toes were red? Like they were bleeding, but I don't know how that could have happened, maybe his brother/sister Karl took a nip or two when they were feeding. I've watched and made sure he didn't get infected and it doesn't appear so, but he's acting very unwell anyway. Any answers for this? I'll test their ammonia in a second.
Update: Just caught him and got him in some tupperware, going to give him a bit of brine shrimp and see if he'll eat. his toes look ragged, I can see the veins on some. They're all still there though. His tank mate is still fat and sassy.
