Hello all, I posted last week for advise about my axie having fungus on his gills. He has been tubbed now since last Friday. He was given 2 salt baths per day for 4 days, 2 tsp of aquatic salt per litre, 3 litres per bath. I change his tub water 12 hourly. He is still in the tub, and had a further 2 days of 1 bath per day.
I can’t see anything on his gills that looks like it could be removed or that appears loose. His Gill stalk is still looking white at the tip though. He is eating, pooping and otherwise active. The tub temp is sitting at 18° consistently. Can anyone advise if he still looks to have fungus or if there’s likely another explanation for the white stalk tip?
Any advice appreciated 🙂

From what you described, I would say that, depending on how old he is, it's possible that the remaining whiteness is part of the natural coloration that made an appearance at an inconvenient time. I would recommend backing off on the salt baths (but definitely continue the water changes) and see if anything changes.

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!
