Hi guys,
So basically I’m just looking for abit of advice, I purchased a axolotl from a local pet shop last week, I had already cycled my tank checked all the water levels which was fine even took a sample to the pet shop for them to test which was also fine. Anyway the first day I got the axolotl I’d left him in the bag floating in my tank n gone to work. Around a hour later dad had sent me a video of him in his tank doing fine. It wasn’t until I got home the next day I had noticed he has very small feathery bits on his gills and very little at that, I has also noticed he had half of toe missing on one foot! Now I have been monitoring him since and he’s eating fine, seems settled in the tank, I am making regular water changes removing waste etc and to me he seems happy. I’m just wondering is this something I should be worried about or was he maybe just kept in poor conditions prior to me getting him? I’ve attached some pictures so you guys can have a look at what u mean, thanks in advance E :happy: x
