Fungus??!

[Wyn1993]

Hi guys,

I just got home and noticed this fungal type thing covering the whole of one of my axolotls head frill.
He is in a tank with another axolotl however there is a divider in place which has been for nearly two weeks due to an unexpected egg laying event.

I am unsure how to deal with this - I have read about salt baths, however, I understand these can be distressing and cause problems.

Can I get some advice on this.

Water parameters are absolutely fine - temp 18degrees managed and maintained with a cooler.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thank you.
I have attached a picture so you can see this!

Okay and then further to the above message - my axolotl has just thrashed about wildly and it has come off - however it has taken off a load of the little hair things with it - and it looks like there may be some damage! I am extremely unsure what this is!

And he is now extremely stressed out - gills pointing forward - he has taken two pellets though!

Okay try Indian Almond Leaf and do a salt bath every 12 hrs for three days and do tubing for now aw well as 100% water changes. Hope this helps!
