One of my albino axolotls has almost no gills left, also I have noticed the other albino has some small white spots on his gills. I think it is somekind of fungus but how do I get it off and how do I make them feel better. I also have 1 black and 2 golden axolotls living together with them and I am very scared that they all will get it.
The water temperature is atm around 21 C and we are building a fan system to get it down but it is quite difficult because it is the end of summer.
I also tried to make some photos but the white spots are so small that they are barely visible. But you can see compared to the other albino how small the gills have gotten.
I have read about putting them into fridge or doing salt baths but I am not sure about neither of these options. They seem too risky. And also in Estonia where I live we do not have any vets who can help with these animals since they are pretty rare.
Is it possible that when we get the temperature down the fungus will die? Will the gills grow back? We just did cleaning of the tank and everything. What else can we do???
