Hello everyone, i’m new in this website and looked for an emergency post but i didn’t. I’m a dad of 3 axolotls and this one is Axil. As yall can see, i don’t know what is going on and im panicking. What is it ? Can it kill him? i’m panicking and don’t want to lose him. Please Help!!! I ordered Indian almond leaves , i don’t know what else i can do. All my water parameters are fine, he eats well, he swims , i don’t know what is going on…

tub (use glass ceramic pyrex if possible, don't forget lid)your infected axolotl in fresh cold water containing 100% holtfreters + 0.2g/l magnesium sulphate, change water daily feed at night change in morning, give daily ten min baths of methylene blue and acriflavine mixed, gently swab infected areas with potassium permanganate.
info for holtfreters here... Axolotls - Requirements & Water Conditions in Captivity
info for mold treatment here.. https://ambystoma.uky.edu/genetic-stock-center/newsletters/Older_archive/Issues-1-12/archive/Issue 3/09-16brothers.pdf
do a thorough test of the tanks water parameters ie.. temperature, ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, ph, kh, gh.
may be a good idea to use 50% holtfreters + 0.1g/l magnesium sulphate to try to prevent infection of other axolotls, also make sure to clear out any caves/hides regularly to prevent any stagnant areas.
the redness is also a concern may require antibiotics, ensure water is kept cold (ideally close to 15°c/59°f)
although hard to get hold of use Nitrofurazone as directed in the info for mold treatment (under vorticella) if possible.

where can i get all those products ?
 
for holtfreters.. sodium chloride ie.. non iodised salt and sodium bicarbonate ie.. baking soda should be easily available in shops, calcium chloride and potassium chloride are easier to buy online or through a chemist, magnesium sulphate ie.. epsom salts should be available in shops (pure no fragrance), methylene blue and acriflavine should be available in pet shops as a fish medication (try under pond fish), nitrofurazone may be available online also labelled as furan 2, nitrofurazone might also be available at chemist (the reason for doubt as to availability is due to it being labelled as a carcinogen, wear gloves when using)
