How old is your axie, how long have you had her, and what is her feeding regime? Any tank mates?
Approx 2-3 months old, had her for about a month, she eats either a prawn or dried bloodworm or dried brine shrimp every other day. And she is in the tank by herself
How big is her tank, and what is your cleaning regime?
Tank is 10 imperial gallons, we have a massive filter but it set on low, and I take about 2/3 gallons out every few days and replace
What substrate is in the tank, and are there any objects smaller than your axolotls head in there? Sand in the tank, and big rocks , and a hide
What are the water parameters (temperature, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate)
Usualy between 18-20 C but it has been known to rise to 23C on a couple of occasions, note sure about the ammonia and nitrate levels
How does she look other than being upside down? Skin clear? Any bloating?
She looks healthy as the day we got her, her skin is clear as we can see here insides but isn't that common as she is so young
Could anything have got in the tank and contaminated the water?
The new hide contains aqauriam safe silicon and sand , so maybe the silicon is not as aquariam safe as it says
Can you put some photos up? Sorry to fire so many questions at you! Hope shes ok xx
Well now she is in the fridge she looks healthy. Pics would be of a perfectly normal axolotl
