Hi, I have 3 axolotls. I've had my first one for about a month to a month and a half. I got my second one about 2 weeks ago and my third about a week ago.
I've had no troubles until I did a tank redo about 3 days ago. I took out the sand because of the blackworms getting into the sand and Hestia (my first) couldn't get to them and the worms were gunking up the tank.
She had been very social and now she doesn't come out of her cave. Another symptom of there might be something wrong is the worms keep dying within a half of a day in the little tank I have set up for the two little guys (Erebos and Loki). They used to live until they were all gobbled up. It's only since the sand was taken out all of this has happened. The tanks are set up so they share the same water. The temp is 62 degrees. And the big tank is a 38 gallon filled about 2/3 of the way. I have 2 sponge filters set in it and another bubbler set up to pull the water to the little guys. I treated the water just like last time. The worms used to clump like normal but now they wriggle sporadically when introduced to the tank.
The little guys eat like normal and hestia does too. But she won't come out anymore. Is it possible she's ticked at me for changing out the sand?
However it does seem like Hestia isn't as chubby as she used to be. But she's not thin either.
