Illness/Sickness: Axolotl mouth agape for 2 weeks and odd tounge movement

It's always a happy day when illness threads turn out with a happy end. As soon as I started talking to you guys about Alby's problem she made great progress towards recovery, and I'm safe to say it's looking like she's at least 95 percent back to her old self!

A couple of days a go she ate her normal earthworm diet without problem, and her mouth is still looking great.

This is my final update, here are two last pictures of my little girl looking happy and healthy.

(The water is tan from the tea leaves, which I'll be taking out of her tank now.)

Best wishes to all of you for lending me your thoughts and ears

    Hello. I’m looking for some input. My axolotl is about 7 months old. I came home and her gills are completely white. I was reading that they do shed around this age. Could this be why her gills are white? The ph is 6.5-7. Nitrates are 80 Nitrites 0.5

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu

    I believe my axolotl is constipated. I got him 8 days ago and have not seen any poop in his tank. I have a 20 gallon tank. No other tank mates. 2 hides and a bare bottom. I didn't feed him the last two days. His belly looks swollen and dark in color. I believe it is the food you can see. I fed him blood worms and soft quick sinking axoloty pellets. I tested his water today. Ph was 7.6. The nitrite and nitrate were both zero. The ammonia was 0.25 ppm. I was advised to cycle my tank due to the lack of nitrate. I added Seachem stability 10 ml to my tank yesterday and 5 ml today. I have a tank chiller. The water temp is set at 64. He is still active, but his tail floats up when he is moving about the tank. I am on the fence about fridging him. I also don't know how long to go without feeding him. I don't want to harm him. Please help asap. Thank you.
