I hope someone can help me. I bought an axolotl over a week ago as my last one had died, and am trying to avoid making the same mistakes as last time. He hasn't eaten at all. I bought a ph kit and it kept showing alkaline I tried getting the ph down and today after I came back from a few days away it seemed to be more alkaline than ever. Well, I used a bit more ph powder than I normally would and now the ph colour seems neutral but I'm worried I lowered it to quickly. Could that be dangerous? His gills are curled forward and I read on this forum its a sign of stress. How do I make it less stressful? I used gravel with the last one and have changed to river rock/stones, which I did not buy from a pet shop but I did wash them well and even boil them to get rid of the contaminates, before I put them in. I can't think of anything else to do to make him happier. I tried feeding mealworms but he just backs away when I try to feed them to him. Any help would be welcome.
