Both of my axies developed a fungal infection before I could catch it. I was on a trip for over a week, and fed them well before leaving. I added feeder fish but I don't think the one ate any as I haven't seen him eat any before (he isn't patient enough).
Now he won't eat and either swims around agitatedly or floats at the surface. I'm treating them both with methylene blue.
Should I fridge the one that won't eat? How large of a container do I need if so (he's about 6-7 inches long)? What temperature is best for fridgeing?

    Hello, I’m looking for fire bellied newts that will ship to Ontario, Canada. Are there any captive breeders here? I’ve had many in the past and I’m looking to get a pair for my 12 yr old. I will be the care taker!

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu
