So my axolotl just had a fungal infection which went away after salt bathing, however it has come back. I rang the aquarium where I bought him and they said to add 40g of salt per 10L of water to the tank. Is this safe to do???
 
If you have already had positive results with salt bathing before, then that would be the best way to go.
I would not add the salt to the aquarium no. Axolotl need only 10 - 15mins at a time for a salt bath. Any longer and it will burn their feathers/gills. There is an excellent salt bath tutorial on here, follow that and I am sure you will conquer the hateful fungus.
Good luck.

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
