Hi, I only just got my axie and have a few questions.
Firstly, I cannot get her to eat. She used to eat guppies at the pet store and seems very uninterested in her pellets, even when i hold them in front of her with forceps. I can see something dark in her stomach that may be yesterdays fish or may be her stomach??
Also, she has a lot of excrement. I woke up this morning and there was a whole heap lying on the bottom of the tank. It is mostly brown and black dust-like particles, but there is one or two strands of white very thin ribbons, should I be worried? And if not, how should I be cleaning this? I dont have pebbles or sand yet.
And she keeps coming up for air. I'd say every 10 minutes or so. There is an air pump/filter (btw what is the difference, mine doesnt say anything on the box.. I'm not sure what I have but it is blowing out water) but she still comes up for water and then releases a bubble or two, but she isn't floating and is quite active.
Thanks!
