Hello. New to the forum but very excited to have experienced axolotle lovers to help. Our first axi has been doing fine, but then suddenly he/she developed a skin problem, almost over night. I have been researching this forum and expect the next step to be a salt or tea bath or a fridge visit. The photos show the condition on the head and sides. Thank you.

I would start salt baths and check water parameters. It looks like a fungal infection to me. Try to keep the light down to reduce stress as well.

I am wondering if I need to have an air stone in the tank, or is a filter running good enough? There is an air stick in there now.
