Hello everybody i desperately need help.
a few days ago, someone gave me some active carbon, i put it in the filter but it turned out they started dissolving into the water... then i immediately removed the "active carbon", cleaned the filter and changed the water with clean water. sadly my axolotl suffered badly and the day later i noticed they had lost their gill hairs (i tought that was due to bad water). but things got worse and yesterday i noticed some white fluffy stuff covering the eyes of one of them. I did a salt bath and removed it form the tank. Today it is not reactive at all even if i gently touch it (yesterday he was eating and swimming as normal) and even the other one in the tank is starting to develop the white stuff over its eyes.
what should I do? keep doing salt bath? Fridge them? i dont know...
Other informals:
-there are 2golden albinos and 2 wild(one removed) from the tank
-they are all youg (5-6 months)
-i cannot measure the parameters at the moment, for this reasoon i changed almost all the water
