Hi
I've recently noticed a white foot rot that has infected my axolotls. It is more noticable on my Wildtype axolotls than my white or golden ones. I have 7 adults in a 4ft tank, no substrate, big gentle filter. I partically change the water every week and do complete water changes every 2 months. I'm thinking it is a bacterial infection. It has come on very suddenly in a matter of 2 days otherwise I would have posted sooner.
Does anybody have any idea what this is? It seems to be eating my axolotls toes/soon-to-be-feet away. I've only ever had these guys ill once with a gill infection which cleared up via salt baths. I've read John Clares health page but it doesn't mention anything like this.
I would quarantine them all but I have not got the space and I am pretty sure they all have it but at the moment the golden's are not showing signs. The worst three are my wildtypes and my leucistic whoses toes are rapidly dissapearing.
I will do a full water change, filter clean out, and give them salt baths ASAP if this is what will help them.
Thanks in advance for any info, I am not sure what kind of infection this is or how to treat it.
