Today I've noticed that my usually very active juvenile albino axolotl is very very lazy and isn't moving around very much, her gills are also faded to almost the colour of her body . Please help, I'm really worried --- is she sick or is this normal :(
 
The gills can fade in color when axolotls are resting. They usually get pinky red when eating or otherwise active. Just to be safe, I would check the water parameters with a good liquid test kit like API Master Test Kit. Is your axolotl still eating good?

My Axolotl seems to be eating fine, she still isn't anywhere near as active as usual but the colour has returned to her gills. I've tested the water and all is good as well. She seems to be doing ok now anyway :)
