Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to owning axolotls and really need some help.
About 6 months ago I was given an axolotl that was in a really bad way. She had no gills and I'm pretty sure she would have died if I hadn't stepped in. Anyway she was fine until my husband decided to get her a friend for her tank and a gold spot pleco to try and keep the mess down in the tank. Pleco is gone now because I caught it munching on her gills again. Her gills are taking forever to grow back and I have noticed that they both have anchor worms. My original axie is happy to have the salt baths I've been giving them but the new one seems to get very stressed. Can anyone recommend a way to get rid of the parasites without putting any further stress on them?
