how do i treat a small fungus infection

[jennag446]

i woke up to seeing my axolotl with a white puff on one of it’s gills. i’ve never had to treat a fungal infection before. some people say salt baths, but i think that would be too aggressive for how small the fungus is right now. parameters are: ammonia 0ppm, nitrites 0ppm, nitrates 10 ppm.
the temperature did go up around 2 degrees this week because summer is coming so i’m thinking that could have caused it. i’m going to do a water change too.

some axolotl are just prone to getting fungus, the best way to get rid of and also prevent fungus is to use holtfreters solution or modified solution in the tank water.
