Hello Hannie,

What has changed? Have you moved the axolotl to a new aquarium? How long has he been in this one? What are your water parameters (levels of ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, pH)? Has the water temperature risen? What do you have as substrate in the aquarium (sand, gravel, bare bottom)?

Please provide more information to help solve the riddle.

umm i have never moved them. the water has a high nitrate content judging by the brown algae that it gets... for substrate i use big pieces of rock and large pebbles (bigger than their heads). he still wont eat. he did have a problem a few months ago with eating smaller pebbles which i have now removed nd as far as i know he has passed all of them (as i removed them from the tank as i found them lol) help me please x

Is it possible for you to test the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate of the water? What is the temperature, has it started rising with summer?
