Hey guys, this is my first time posting here so I hope I do this right. I’ve had my leucistic axie for about 3 almost 4 years. In September I bought him a tank mate, another male adult axie (wild type). We had a random & really bad nitrite spike in November which caused the new guy to get fungus. After battling it for a lot longer than it should’ve taken, he was returned to the big tank. About 3 weeks later he had it again and so did his brother. We were able to get rid of it on both of them quicker this time but my first axie has got it again. However this time I’m noticing he also a strange growth on two of his feet. I’ll insert pictures. They don’t look fungus-like or large / puffy. They quite literally look like they’re a part of his body, just growing off his toes strangely. I constantly do spot cleans so there isn’t any waste lying around to cause this fungus. In the 3 years I had my first axie we never had health issues. It wasn’t until my new guy was brought home that we’ve been dealing with all of this. Is it possible that my new guys could be a carrier of some illness? The water parameters have stayed consistently at Ph - 7.4 Nitirite - 0 Ammonia - 0 / .25 (which I change immediately if it isn’t at 0) & Nitrates - 5. Temp has never been warmer than 68 but is more commonly at 64 degrees Fahrenheit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
