Good afternoon, the following problem: - axolotl, approximately 5 months old - lives alone without plants in a 50L aquarium, with aeration and an external filter - for the past two weeks, he has had a loss of appetite and abdominal swelling. There was a suspicion that he might have eaten a rubber suction cup from an old filter, but it has been more than 3 weeks since we noticed it was missing, and it is not visible in his abdomen. The water was very murky green; we were told this was due to excessive lighting, so we completely replaced the water and are not using the lamp for long periods. In the murky water, he didn't seem to feel too bad, but after the last change, his activity significantly decreased. There has been no usual feces for a long time; it was cotton-like, green when the water was green, and now it is gray and transparent. He has been fed with Coppens food his whole life, and yesterday we gave him shrimp - he is not eating. I would appreciate any advice and help.
