Is there anything else in the tank with him Lauren? Looks like something has been biting pieces from his tail.
Have you checked temp & condition - water, ph., etc?
 
Ros -

He's alone and the tank is cycled. The bite-mark was there when he arrived the week before last. He was in a large tank with all his siblings at the supplier, so it was unavoidable. My leucistic (from the same large tank) arrived last week missing half his gills and a leg! So I guess my wildtype was one of the top-dogs in that little pond.
 
Cynthia - He's fine now. I should have clarified in the original post that he ended up like that after a botched landing. His tail fell down over the course of an hour until he was level again.

Thanks for your concern, though!
 
when they are juvi they tend to have more trouble getting the air that they gulp out.
 
mine just floats at about 1cm from bottem sometimes and he jsut stares at me when im in da room

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
