my axolotl has a fungus infection at the moment. I was wondering how to get rid of it<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote>
Salt baths twice a day until the fungus clears:
2-3teaspoons of aquarium salt for 2 pints/litre of water in a container
No more than 10-15 minutes as it can burn an axies skin.

the pH is also fluctuating<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote>
Your ph isn't too bad at moment unless you have huge swings. "For axolotls, a pH of 6.5 to around 8.0 is acceptable, but 7.4 to 7.6 is probably ideal."

and according to the pet shop person, the ammonia and nitrate is also at a safe level. <!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote>
Did you cycle your tank prior to adding your axies? If not how long have you had your axies in this tank?
Did the petshop people give you any figures or numbers for these 2 readings? Sorry, I shud have told you to get exact readings/figures and post them here. For them to say "at a safe level" is not really acceptable if it might help pinpoint why your axie is ill.
How big or old is your axie, and how often did you usually feed him/or he eat?
Did you get both axies at the same time?
Also the fluctuating temp may be effecting your axie.
By sluggish do you mean less active than usual or compared to the other axie?
Sorry, for the many questions just trying to get an idea on things.
