Mojito is ten, he was generally an extremely healthy axolotl. I've always fed him a proper diet of worms, sometimes blood worms too. He's never, in the ten years I've had him ever been ill. His tank is 70 gallons, p.h is 7.6, ammonia is 0ppm, nitrate is good, never had an issues. I fed him his regular worm about two weeks ago, and four days following he's deteriorating. I've completely cleaned out his tank, bought a new filter. I've tried Indian almond leaves, methylene blue in his tank, I figure he has a parasitic infection but he's quite bloated, stiff, can't balance or swim, and he isn't eating. He does move here and there since I've put the Indian almond leaves in, but he has a small mark on his belly that was pink, and now it's faded, and looks more translucent than his skin. I've attached a healthy photo before this went down, and a photo of how he is currently. I really don't want him to die, I've had him for 10 years, and the only thing I can figure is that the worm he ate had a parasite. He was quite healthy before he ate it, and it's been two weeks and this is how much he has deteriorated.
thank you!
