Photos taken when moving him to the fridge, he doesn't stay in this bowl.

I noticed a few weeks ago that my Leucistic had a messed up arm so i separated him from my melanated. The arm healed so I put them back together then found him like this the next day.
I figured this may be food aggression although they are regularly fed Dendrobaena worms. I am wondering if it's something else though.
I fridged the Leucistic but he's emsciated and needs to eat so im taking him out and putting him in a temporary tank.
What else can I do?

i'm guessing probably. in addition, he could also be having a bacterial infection as a result (the redness is concerning). water parameters check is key. don't stick him in the fridge again. he needs quality water. he should be fine in an isolation tank. he looks emaciated. is the other axolotl getting selfish with food???

    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.
