Hi all, I have 2 axolotls bought from the same shop at the same time from the same tank together. One is slightly bigger than the other and looks as though the bigger one has had a bite on the smaller ones tail as you can see in the image. Or is this an illness? How should I care for something like this?
I think the bigger Axolotl has developed a fungus on his foot, the pic isn't overly good...i tested the water and amonia and nitrites were the highest they have been so have done a partial water change and will continue to until the levels go down - we've only had the tank a couple weeks(we let it cycle a week before adding the axolotls) so from what ive read the levels will rise until the filter is fully established? Should I give him a salt bath?
Any help/advice is appreciated!! Don't want them getting sick!
Cheers
