Hi all.
I am very worried about my axolotl. He is extremely skinny, his skin/gills look shriveled and minuscule puffs (of what looks to be fungus but I can not say for certain) can be seen on his gills. Tank parameters are all good and the temp is around 69-70F. His tank was just cleaned 2 days ago and since then the water turned white in color. I noticed his worsening condition (which seems to have developed in the last 24 hours) this morning as he was traveling up to the surface to gulp air. I did a 95% water change. He was put into the fridge for a few hours and is now back into his clean tank. I recently bought a new filter? Does this have anything to do with his condition?
Any help is greatly appreciated. I am a fairly new axolotl owner so I have not experienced anything like this. He is a year old. If additional information is needed please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you in advance.
