Phew, well I'm not too worried about his loss of hunger, and will start doing salt baths 3 times a day on Saturday (I have to work tomorrow). I've tried dabbing at the fungus with a cotton bud and my finger before, but he really doesnt like it, and even flinches away when im only touching the fungus not even his gills. But I have noticed that some fungus is coming off because the water has bits of it in there when I go to change it every morning. But that's good, I won't lose hope for this little guy yet =).

Good luck with treating your little axie, I hope he soon gets better. Good job he has you for an owner instead of the awful pet shop, Kerry

Hi, well, the fungus seems to have gone now, and I was just giving the axie his last salt bath when I noticed something on his belly. There seems to be a rash or something running up it, and a weird white circle on his chest. I'm guessing the rash might be salt burn or something, but I have no idea what that thing on his chest is. Help please!
