Fast answer please - fungal infection

[BrooklynD]

I'm currently trying to treat my axolotl for a fungal infection on his/her gills and (s)he is 5 inches about and when I first put em in the salt bath (s)he literally looks like he's trying to eat the salt water? Like just keeps openeing its mouth and trying to swallow something but there's nothing there. Is this normal? Left me in there for about 14 minutes with 1 liter of water and 2 1/2 roughly of aquarium salt.

What exactly were your measurements? I don't really understand. How much salt with how much water did you mix? Did you make sure to dechlorinate the water too?

I did about 2 1/2 teaspoons of aquarium salt in 1 liter of water and let sit for about 14 minutes. I'm starting with about max because I was on vacation when the fungus formed so there's just I good sized white ball at the end on one of the gills.. but I put that in dechlorinated water (I used prime) and then let it despolve and put him in there as said for about 14 minutes. Tried to remove some of the fungus with a Q-tip but he didn't like that so much so I stopped. But my problem is when I put him in there he kept opening and closing his mouth like he was trying to swallow something. It seemed like he was trying to swallow the salt water? If he did swallow the salt water would that harm him?
