sore leg?

[chrissy]

i finally put my new axie toffee in my tank with my other axie, mambo(after 30 days of quarintine)but this morning mambo looks like he has hurt his leg. he has it against his side and is swimming with only three legs. also he doesnt swim as much as he usually does. what might have happened and what can i do???

the axies may not of liked each other and had a bit of a scap i would seperate them if you see any mayjor agressive behavour. axolotls can be agressive so a little bit of a scap isnt that bad but if u see any bad fights seperate them if you can. do you have any sharp rocks or decor in your tank it could be that?

all i can suggest is that you keep a close eye on them to see if they are attacking each other. is there a size difference because if one is a lot smaller than the other they might be viewed as food. if so you will have to seperate them until their sizes are roughly the same.
it might be an idea to seperate them for a while anyway until he is using his leg more freely.
hope this helps a little.
good luck and hope he is well soon.
