Good Morning
I was wondering if anyone can help. My Axoloti is 8 months old and just recently has developed some white patches on his under belly.
I am worried it may be fungus as it's a bit like cotton wool to look at.
If so what would you suggest is the best way to treat it without causing too much stress.
He eats well and seems very happy. I feed him live worms which he loves. His tank floor has no substrate as it seems to keep cleaner that way, the tank is always rid of any worms that are not eaten and kept clean.
I appreciate any help anyone can give me.
I have attached a pic of him sitting happily on his weed and one of his belly showing the white patches. There are no other patches anywhere on his body of gills.
Thanks in advance
Teresa

    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.
