Hi everyone.
I rescued a baby .. not in great shape no gills etc. But I'll address that elsewhere.. later. Hes is doing ok right now. But eating .. he wants to he tries hes super tiny yet I know he is atleast 4 months old if not older.
But as I'm trying to figure out all his quirks.. a while back it looked like a thread kinda floating out of his right side in front of his hind legs I'm assuming intestines area maybe.
I wiped it gently away..
But its bugged me forever and tonight I git part of and a really good picture and it actually looks different now.
I touched the part I got off its like a very thin very stiff thread. And then I looked at him and there was a good bit out of him. So I got the pics.
It diesnt move are anything.. so I'm not thinking worms it soooo thin and stiff. But must be super long. It almost makes me think no weight gain etc has to do with this thing maybe packed inside him. Yuck. And poor thing!

Ahh thank you! I have never dealt with an anchor worm before. I have found a product Dimilin X on amazon people seem to be recommending on other posts on here.
Issue. He is in a holding tank while the large permanent tanks are being cycled. He was a rescue so hes in I think it maybe a half filled 2 gallon "critter keeper". The instructions I have seen alittle of says dont change the water but I have to change daily. No cycled water and no filters. I cant get a extra small sponge filter to help.
Any ideas? Is this also why maybe he hasnt growing or getting better? I dont know anything about anchor worms. And oh hell dosage kn. That tiny of a tank.. hmmm
But thank you and any recommendations or ideas would be wonderful!!

    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.
