axolotl help!

i posted the other day about my axolotl but i wanted to make a new post with more details i guess.

so i used to keep my axolotl in a 10gal tank w/ sand but i went home for break and took him with and moved him into a 30gal tank w/ no sand only glass. the next day I realized that his gills were very different, they didn’t have the usual color and weren’t placed how they usually were. He also hasn’t ate since the move. I’m assuming it’s all stress related because of a new environment? The parameters are all good and i have items in his previous tank to try to make him comfortable but I feel he’s even more stressed though he’s been moving more in his tank. 

Due to him being stressed I am also stressing out which in turn is stressing him out even more I think. I left him in the 30gal the first night and then most of the day, then i moved him into a smaller container with no filter and one hide and nothing really changed. I then put him back into the  30gal but used a filter meant for a 10g in the tank to see if the filter output helped but the lack of water movement made him surface more (UGH). so now I have him in the 30gal still, with something covering the filter and another item somewhat stifling the filter output. I know moving him around so much is definitely not helping but I was/am panicking but I probably (definitely) need to chill. 

Is there any advice? I plan on going out soon to buy sand but besides that any help? I don’t think it’s an illness just stress but I want to help him acclimate if possible or to know if he is sick or something. I’m worried about him not eating too, though he did poop twice so far since the move.

TLDR: Axolotl moved into new tank thats a bit different from before, seems really stressed, i need some advice/suggestions.

Thank you! (also thanks to the other person who mentioned the sand before in the previous post)

I’m 100% sure your friends aren’t supposed to make you feel shitty 

[kiramartinauthor]

Don’t stick with a friend that treats you like shit. I’ve done it and 10/10 would not recommend

[shirleyjacksons]

full offense but some of y’all just have to let people enjoy things

[shirleyjacksons]

there’s a line between constructive criticism and actively shitting on someone’s fun

I’ll be honest, it kind of sucks being in the middle of the spectrum as an artist.  On the plus side, can draw better than stick figures.  On the down side, can’t draw realistically enough to wow people, and can’t draw crazily stylized enough to amaze them either.  Welcome to the world of acceptable yet unimpressive art where your work is filler to tide people over until the good artists swoop in and get in the spotlight.

all i see are posts about how girls are suppose to be strong and confident and not take shit, but some girls arent like that some girls are shy or quiet or have anxiety issues or theyre insecure or have mental illnesses, so heres to all of them because they dont get appreciated enough

1. Because a woman brought into this world will inevitably be given pepper spray “just in case.” 2. Because by sixteen, a young girl knows how to avoid being sexually assaulted, while a boy of the same age does not fear sexual assault in the slightest. 3. Because a girl who mocks men is a bitch, and a boy who mocks women is joking. 4. Because a girl who has sex is a slut, and a boy who has sex is a man. 5. Because in a murder, the killer is at fault, but the blame of rape is often put on the victim. 6. Because we teach girls how not to get raped instead of teaching anyone simply not to rape. 7. Because a woman should put more clothes on if her outfit makes a man uncomfortable, because his self control is her responsibility. 8. Because feminists just need to chill out. 9. Because a 22 year old sex-obsessed virgin can murder 7 people, and the problem is that someone should’ve just slept with him. 10. Because not all men are predators, but yes, all women are prey.

for today’s episode on how fucked up our world is: women have a completely different section for plus sizes with completely different clothes and very small variety, but men have all their sizes in the same section, without classifying it “plus sized”.

i have never thought about this..

being friendly with a boy you aren’t romantically/physically attracted to and him developing feelings for you isn’t your fault, nor does it mean you were “leading him on”. you are under no obligation to date him.

Self love is so important. Because when you’re all alone and it’s 3 in the morning and you’re lying on the floor crying and shaking and wishing it all would end, who’s going to be there for you? You. You have to pick yourself up and find the strength to carry on. At the end of the day, you’re all you’ve got.
