ph: 7.8
ammonia: 0.25
nitrite: 0
nitrate: 0
The tank is cycled. And it has been cycled for 3 months before i added him. It recently started spiking, and in my experience 25 ammonia isnt that concerning, when its closer to 1 then its extrmeely concerning. And yes i double dose on prime.Why is ammonia .25? The tank is not cycled. Add seachem prime and look up in-tank cycling
i had him tubbed weith 100% water changes and constant monitoring for a week. it just became worse. Ive only just released him into the tank again and his shedding has calmed down.n if it continues like this for the next few days i will get him checked at the vetAt this point your axolotl needs to see a vet. Until then tubing as well as a 100% water changes. Your axolotl looks really sick and if the problem continues to keep going as it is you will lose your axolotl. Although many may claim that the ammonia isn't the problem the problem is the water quality in some way shape or form. With axolotls it's like a child you have to mark off all the suspected problems in order to fix this problem. Slime coat doesn't just become a problem but it's overtime it happens due to water quality. I don't want to feel like I'm preaching the gospel but I will say you have a huge problem on your hands and the axolotls health is deteriorating. Btw I see the axolots gill filaments is looking quiet in bad shape as if it's missing/shortening.
Also with regards to the gills, my axolotl (other) that recently passed away, when they were tubbed while i cycled the tank water a bit more his gills started growing back (the golden) and my wild types havent changed.At this point your axolotl needs to see a vet.

just checked them, was wrong. 0.25If your nitrates are 0, your cycle almost definitely crashed. Unless you have a LOT of hungry plants, your nitrates would not be at 0 in a cycled tank.
hi! update: it had been completely gone for about 4 days, and today its just reappeared. Are there any things to help with the skin peeling? I know ive tried tea baths and personally, they ont help him from experience. Im thinking about trying salt baths, is that okay? or a bit too harsh?Reaching out to hear an update whenever you have time.
I just gave him a 10 minute salt bath, and he is currently tubbed in fresh declorinated water with an indian almond leaveReaching out to hear an update whenever you have time.
I also think i established what the reason was as to my cycle crashing a few weeks ago. I did 2 100% water changes in the period of a month. I know now i shouldve not even done a 100%.So glad to hear with the salt and tea leaf he should be healing up very soon!
I need some help. For the salt bath im doing daily i am using natural sea salt, no added preservatives. Is that ok? Also, I have found he definitely has gill fungus. The Indian Almond Leaf is helping alot but i need some help more on how to cure the fungus.So glad to hear with the salt and tea leaf he should be healing up very soon!
