Hi Guys,

Yesterday I noticed my axolotl has one gill that looks covered in fungus. Im assuming its fungus, as its white and cloudy and attached itself to one gill (not the others yet thankfully).

Reading the other threads, it seems the best thing to do is give a salt bath?

My only concern is trying to calm my axo down, as if i go near it she will flip out and spin around the tank....

What is the best way to get her into a salt bath.... ?
 
I would recommend catching her with a large fish net. Do the salt bath in a container with a lid, or a bucket too tall to jump out of.
 
I hope she will be ok, keep us posted and let us know what happens.

    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?
