Hi allll.....
I have a question concerning Stomatits/mouth rot and its contagiousness (i dont think thats a real word LOL)
if you have an axolotl in a tank and it gets mouth rot/stomatitis and then its taken out of the tank, and a completely normal axie is placed in the tank (without water changes ect) could that axolotl get infected with mouth rot/stomatitis?
so basically, my question is:
will a Stomatitis infected axie contaminate the water it lives in and then pass it on to another axie just via water....?
this proabably sounds like a stupid question...
....but i went to a pet shop and saw a beautiful albino white axie in a tank with a wild type axie. The next day i went back and saw that the albino axie was all by itself. The guy there said that the wild type was taken out because it had mouth rot, ...i asked if the albino could have gotten mouth rot too, and he said that the tank got a 15% water change and so far shes not showing any signs.
it concerned me that perhaps she could have gotten infected because the water was still contagous?????
its been a week since ive been there, but ive been thinking about it all this time, and now im just simply....curious????
all answers and comments welcome :happy:
