Hi
I would be most grateful if someone could offer any advice.
I have had my two Axie`s about a month now.When I purchased them they were the gorgeous pink colour
They are now virtually white.Even their little gills are white & have lost their feathering.

I have tested the water temperature, Nitrate, Nitrite, ammonia etc & all seem fine.

They seemed ok in their tank (sand, good filtration, regularly "hoovered" out etc) but just seem to lose their colour. I also never saw them eat.

Having read on here about "fridgeing" them I have done just that & am changing their water every day. I have tried to tempt them to eat with various foods but they are just not interested.
I did read on here that could be due to their metabolic rate beng lowered & am not unduly worried although they do look very skinny!

In themselves they seem just fine & happily swim around their container.

The questions I would like to ask in particular are :-
What do I do next?
How will i know when to return them to their tank?
How do I reintroduce them to their tank as I am sure the water will be warmer than in the fridge?

All suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
