I have pics but can't figure out how to fet them off of mobile phone.
I recieved an axololt from a friend who saved it from someone who took terrible care of him. His top two gills were missing and he ia scarred on either side of the head and missing the first portion of his caudal fin. My boyfriend and I have gotten him to the point where his gills have grown back and are finally fluffy.
Although we are now faced with the scariest thing and hope he wil remain a fighter.
Upon waking up yesterday morning, my boyfriend went to check on all of our babes (axies and bettas) to say hello to each one in their own little tanks and he noticed one, our junior, was missing.
He was on the floor in a puddle of water all curled up full od debris. We put him in a fresh tub of dechlorinated water and he stayed lifeless and shrivled. I started to bawl my eyea out and I had to leave for work. After a good 5 minutea of stating and blubbering he flipped onto hia belly and took a gulp of air.
His slime coat is 80% gone or shedding off. His gilla were slicked back to hia head but now they're out and fluffy...but he doesn't move when you try to move him. Every so often he'll be in a different part of the little tub, but that's about it. His back legs look broken almost, but he doesn't look dead to me. Tip of his tail is torn and there's no fungua yet. He is in fridge temp water (we keep 5 gallons of dechlorinatrd water in the fridge at all time just in case. Our bedroom is only 50 degreea because we cut off heat for the tanks and to conserve eneegy. And I live in Wisconsin USA where the temp outside is currently -16 degres and -50 with windchill.
Any ideas tips or tricks? I've read similar threads but its like there axiea a fee responsive. I don think he is dead...I think his limbs may e broken. ... or I'm just keeping false hope.
