Hello,
I have a problem, one of my axolotls is floating on the surface. He has always been a floater but now he just can't get down to the bottom. I am pretty sure its my fault as i went away for 3 weeks and had my sister look after my axies while I was away and ofcourse the water wasn't changed in that time. I come home and he is floating he has been floating for about two weeks now and I tried refridgeration for 3 days and no good. I think it might be an infected swim bladder but how do I fix it. He ate an earthworm yesterday and is still as quick as he used to be as he swims to the bottom but just comes straight back up. Also he has a white lump on his side I think its always been there though. He has always been perfectly healthy in the 2 years I have had him and so now his actually sick I am not sure whats going on so please help me. Also the other axie in with him is perfectly healthy.
