Hi Natashja,

It is hard to tell from pictures if there is a sepsis in an animal but fungal infections can be secondary to bacterial infections.
You should consult with a vet to see if it also needs an antibiotic treatment. Until you talk to a vet, you may want to move it to a refrigerator and continue with the salt baths...

hi ed thanks for your reply sadly it is to late for her when i got up this morning and went to tjek up on her in the fridge she was lying on her side with her little mouth open. and i think she passed on earlier this morning.
in any case im keeping her in the fridge for another 24 hours just in case she is just in a coma.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
