I’m new to this site, I’ve had my axie for almost a year now. He is such a healthy boy. But as soon as summer began, he developed a fungal infection so I quarantined him from his original tank for a week and gave him salt baths daily as instructed. His gills looked to be in good shape again, so I placed him back in his cleaned tank last night with clean decorations.
Fast forward to this morning, I noticed he didn’t eat any of the pellets I fed him last night, his gills are pinned back, and he was floating on his side. He’s now standing normal as I type this. He’s just acting a bit strange and I was wondering if this is all because of the stress from being quarantined, the salt baths, and moving back into his new tank.
For reference, his water is at 67 degrees Fahrenheit right now, which isn’t ideal, but I’ve been struggling to keep his tank cool with just his fan. Luckily I found a used aquarium chiller at a good price! But I’m just waiting for all the missing parts to arrive in the mail.
