New owner; patches on axolotl

[Andefox3]

Hello, I am a fairly new axolotl owner, since april '16. Iv'e done a lot of research but I need professional opinions and help. How is my aquarium set up? is it lacking, or too crowded? I just cleaned the water and sand, so its kinda cloudy. I have two axolotls, both female, the leucistic is Chrissy and the wild type is Raj.
My problem is that Raj is not eating, or when she tries, she struggles with the food then spits it back out. I try to give them earth worms or carnivore pellets. She refuses both. She also has a white patch on her head.

Hi there and welcome to the forum. :happy:

I would be tempted to perhaps put another hide in the tank, so they have a few options and feel safe.
As for the white patch on Raj, could you please post a clearer picture (not easy with a moving axolotl, I know). Could you also describe the patch - is it a smoother, lighter patch of skin, or is it fluffy?
Could you also post your water parameters - ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, temperature. This will help us to suggest possible problems & solutions.
