Axoloti has sbp?how to cure

Rutilans · 12-12-2013, 09:57 PM

Yesterday bought an axoloti from cian leng aquarium in shah Alam spotted one piece in the tank,I asked whether got anymore,staff said still have then he help me search the planted tank but cannot find,he turned around and asked his fren then his fren said in the fridge

But then I remembered axoloti can stay in the fridge.
So he packed the one in e fridge for me then when I reach home and pour into the tank that does not have water inside.after observing,seems like it can't stay upright.it keeps floating up and after it floats up it will flip upside down.
Pls help.

THanks in advance

So you put the axolotl in a tank without water?

Did you also forget to give a slow temperature transition?

The reason why axolotl ends up in fridge is becos they are sick.. to slow their metabolism, they are place in fridge.

Care to show the pics? Does it have bloated throat or fungus?

i think is due to stunned by sudden rise in temp.

bro put him back to the fridge and slow raise the temp

btw they need chiller to live long

You are mistaken. It is not an attempt to slow metabolism, though that does occur as a by-product.Typically the cold is used to somehow help the axolotl recover. There are guides online, you will need to find them.

If it doesn't live,don't think would ever go there again

how could you place them out of water?
they breathe through gills right?
also, they do need a chiller to thrive.

Why are you blaming the source when it is evident you don't know how to care for them? Is your tank running a chiller? I bet not

No I never put the axo out of the water,plus my house the temp Is revolve around 25c-26c.
Last time kept 1 fr 3-4yrs then die of injury frm friend then after that the fren also die.
@washywashy if I don't know how to care for them,in the first place I wouldn't even have bought them.and if I don't know how to care for them why did they last years under my care?and they even bred!and I raised the fry successfully,until I sold the whole batch to my fren.
