Hi my axolotl had a fungus and he is currently fridging along with a salt water baths.

Assuming he gets back to good health, what steps should I take to clean my tank?
Is the fungus in the water/on the ornaments?


Also, these are my tank readings, are these safe for axolotls?
No3- 20-40mgs
No2- .5mg
pH-7
KH-180-240
GH-180

Temperature is currently at 76 in my house, 71 in the tank. ( I am trying to cool it even more!!)

Is the hardness too much? and should I take steps to remove the nitrite (No2)?

Thanks a ton, xoxo :eek::eek::eek:
This site is lovely~ <3
 
Hi !
First of all, you can read the following thread about fungi :

http://www.caudata.org/forum/f46-be...-axolotl-general-discussion/96018-fungus.html

In a few words :
- fungi (often genus Saprolegnia) in their microscopic resistant form are everywhere.
- fungi are not necessarily the primary cause of the infection, even is the fungus is obviously present. Injuries or inadapted conditions can trigger fungi attacks.
