I find some eggs with a fungus occasionally - but it is alway unfertilized ones. Usually I remove them as soon as I see a fungus but I separated this one for documentary purposes (unfortunately the yellow-green background of the javafern piece is unfavorable for a decent photo).
The interesting part is that fertilized eggs with healthy larvae do not get infected even if they are right next to an egg like this so developing eggs / embryos seem to have some natural fungicide. On the other hand I heard reports from people breeding other amphibians (f.i. some frogs or salamandra) who lost whole batches to fungus.

SkudulfXD: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+1

Toast69: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!+1

Katia Del Rio-Tsonis:Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.+1
