Hi all.
I have two axolotl's, Poesje, a female and Sjaak, a male. Sjaak is a total albino and Poesje is an albino with black eyes. (and if your wondering about the names: it's Dutch, like I am too.)
My female, Poesje, isn't interested in earthworms since friday. She always was a good eater. She's since tuesday in a new (bigger) tank with my male, Sjaak, and she is a bit shy since then. But that's just her personality, she doesn't really like changes. But now she hardly swims at all, she only lays on the bottem onder the filter, or between the wood in the tank (and that's next to the filter).
Sjaak has shown mating behaviour last thursday evening and saterday evening again. May be friday too, but then I didn't notice. I am really worried about her, because I don't know if she's sick (may be swallowed some gravel) or could it be because she is pregnant? (what is really unlikely because she isn't 18cm and hasn't black toes, but my male doesn't have black toes neither and shows mating behaviour too. Besides she is from september or so, so she is only 7 months old) And besides, I thought it take 2 days to lay eggs, and those are passed already.
I have looked at her closely and nothing changed: she's not fatter, no fungus, no strange bumps or something. Also, her gills are still nice red, even now she hasn't had food since thursday morning. Normally her gills are less red/pinkish after 1 day.
I really don't know what's the matter with her. I also don't know if I should frigde her, or not. So, I hope you guys can help me out (a bit), and makes me worries some less.
Regards,
Cif
