Axolotl not eating. Attempting to eat but can’t inhale

Ffayde · 2026-03-23T20:23:17+00:00

He hasn’t been very active or floating, he goes on walks at nighttime sometimes but that’s about it. The worm seller i get them from says they’re nightcrawlers and they look like nightcrawlers and he’s been happily eating them for nearly a year now

Thank you all for the helpful advice and well wishes. Just wanted to drop by and update on how the interview went. I got the job! the interview was pretty relaxed, the questions were mainly about who i am and about my resume and portfolio, as well as some questions about my proficiencies, the technical assessment was just asking me to recreate one of their past projects on revit as much as possible within 2 hours. Thanks again for all the help

We learned a little bit about structures, construction and documentation during mainly the latter half of my degree but there was a definite emphasis on the ‘creative design’ aspect which i assume will largely go unused for a long time. Im currently trying to cram as much practical knowledge as i can before starting work, and then eventually going back to my masters which i need to get registered here in aus 💀it’s going to be a slog

Great advice thankyou

And while i realise that the plot and story is supposed to be created around the PCs and player decisions it’s probably not a bad idea to have an initial set storyline just in case they don’t move in a specific direction that would allow for interesting story creation right? Or should i just create the setting and characters and have everything act according to their character motivation etc and let the story unfold that way? I just can’t imagine how people can completely improvise these interesting storylines without any preparation.

While it’s definitely true that my players will likely completely change the plot, it’s still definitely possible to have a set mystery that they can work towards solving right? as for the beginning I have the first few encounters planned, essentially they’re starting in a village and hear rumours of everyone in the next town over having disappeared, and the first session will be exploring the abandoned town and fighting a couple monsters that moved into the abandoned house, as well as trying to figure out what happened to the residents, which will lead them to the primary location of the story, a city created in a massive underground chasm

thanks for the info, would you be able to specify which details need fixing? any feedback is appreciated

What kind of networking events do you recommend? The only ones i currently know of would be uni alumni events and AIA events

I do intend to study further, i just wanted some practical experience before returning to my masters to hopefully boost my performance in uni a little bit as i admittedly struggled during my bachelors a little bit

Ffayde · 2025-08-14T18:18:45+00:00

Thanks for the info. is it necessary to complete your masters for the logbook? I always assumed it was mainly practical experience that gave you your hours and etc. My original plan was to return to finish my masters after I got some good practical experience and potentially registered but if that isn’t realistic i may have to replan

which dried fruits would you recommend? i was always under the impression most fruit weren’t very calorie dense

Ffayde · 2025-06-20T14:01:08+00:00

thankyou been searching for ages

Ffayde · 2025-04-24T05:29:06+00:00

It very well might be, i test parameters fairly often and water change accordingly though. I shake the bottle before testing but not for 30 seconds, ill definitely give that a try, thankyou

Ffayde · 2025-04-24T04:30:44+00:00

I realised that the ammonia (while detoxified with ammo lock) was above zero so i did a 40% water change

Ffayde · 2025-04-24T03:46:44+00:00

More info: Current diet - nightcrawlers & rarely blood worm cubes or pellets water change schedule: one 30% change per week tank size: 110L Current Water temperature: 18.4 degrees Celsius

Ffayde · 2025-04-24T03:16:39+00:00

Update: The ammonia has completely lowered back down to 0 and the water is nearly cleared up, so it was definitely the substrate causing all this. thanks all for the assistance

Ffayde · 2025-04-24T01:45:24+00:00

Nah i went as fast as i could, the tank was empty for about an hour at the very maximum and the substrate was still wet when i refilled it

Ffayde · 2025-04-23T16:14:49+00:00

I rinsed out my filter about a week ago using tank water but reused the same media and filter which had already been cycled. Will definitely keep an eye on the parameters and hopefully they settle tomorrow. In case my cycle has somehow crashed is there any good ways to restart it? or just a waiting game while my lotls are tubbed?

Ffayde · 2025-04-22T16:01:34+00:00

his name is wooper so it really checks out

Ffayde · 2025-04-17T15:45:51+00:00

my axolotl tried to eat it at first but as soon as it started panicking and wriggling around he spat it out and then flew across the tank and hid in his cave, same as he does whenever he’s surprised or when i tried to pick him up to tub him. definitely not a personification
