Back Story:So I've had my axolotl for 3 months. From the get go I have had issues. He had a swollen cloaca the second day and I ended up putting him in a 10g hospital tank for 4 days of Furan 2 treatment. He seemed better for about 3 weeks and then started to go down hill. I had him in my classroom but brought him home 3 weeks ago to monitor him more closely (note: I am new to axolotl, not aquariums so water parameters are.constantly checked and fine, temp under 68. Closer to 65 unless super hot). Last week he was having problems With floating all the time and hadn't eaten in over a week. He was getting very skinny and I waz afraid near death so I tubbed him and fridges him for 4 days.
He has been out for 4 days now. His appetite came back but he never poops. Ive seen him poop maybe 4 times in 3 months and only 2 looked "normal"
I got a text from my Mom today with a video of my axie looking like he was trying to throw up. She said he did it twice that she saw today.
When I got home and went to do his daily water change I noticed two things. One, he either threw up or had very slimy poop. Two, he had a bit of clearish fungus on a hill.
What could be going on?! I honestly am at wits end. What should I do for him? I have invested hundreds of dollars on this guy and haven't been able to enjoy him because I am always worried he is going to die.
Any help would be appreciated!
First pic shows the fungus as best I can on top, left gill. Second pic shows slimy, clear goo coming from cloaca after water change. Last pic shows what I believe to be either slimy, sickly poo or vomit.
