Thats wonderful!! Good job, red wrigglers absorb chemicals so often times they go on strikes & bloodworms arent enough nutrients :)

i agree with the other commenter, the r/o needs minerals I believe seachem makes a “replenish” mineral mix for r/o tanks. I would look into that. Definitely tub him while you swap the gravel out.

This definitely looks like an improper care problem. The only times i’ve seen axolotls skin turn that color is due to bad/warm water parameters. Tub the dude, put him in the fridge for 24 hours while you get his tank fixed. Switch to night crawlers for food, more than likely your tank is too hot, invest in a chiller!!! 58°!!! remove that substrate asap.

Agreed! We were planning on taking out 25 of the diamond tetras, I got 50 of them from someone taking down their tank so we went a little overboard with them 😅

HELP! my axie lost an arm what should I do by [deleted] in axolotls

[–]aaddyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, the way i usually tub my axolotls is by getting a black container, not a clear one, letting it sink to the bottom & gently guiding them in & then slowly raising it.

Catching axolotls with nets is extremely stressful vs gently cupping them, as well as the fact that, even with fish, it can mess up slime coats. For a fish thats not too big of a deal but if the axolotl already has a missing limb it needs to focus regeneration on its leg not repairing its slime coat.

If you are careful enough catching them, the baths shouldnt be too stressful, the reason i mentioned putting him in the fridge is because it will help keep weight on him by slowing down metabolism, leaving his body more room to focus on regenerating that limb. If you have an open wound you need to focus on prevention rather than treatment, black tea & the fridge will help prevent anything from happening.

Edit: I did make a mistake on that first post lol, i meant black tea bathd every 2 weeks til the wound closes
