Hi guys,
In need of urgent he'll with yet another fungal infection. Already lost one if my adults 3 months ago, saved another with salt baths and thought everything had settled down.
Just today noticed the beginnings of another fungal infection ( at least I think it is, it's very similar to what happened before), on a young axolotl intended to replace the one i lost. He has some cloudy coloured fungal hyphae on his back/dorsal fin and he's at the surface looking pretty miserable and flushed. My question is, is he too young to salt bath?
He's currently 4cm long, I can't recall his exact age he must be around 4months from when he was layed, but his front legs are fully formed and his back legs are showing the main joint and rudimentary toes.
Has anyone got any suggestions as to why I'm havin these problems all of a sudden. He has not been in contact with any of the old tank (since I have assumed there must be some fungal spores in there still) his water is always fresh and the other adult (separate tank, same-ish water) is fine. Only thing hat has changed around this Problem starting before xmas was moving to the city and having to rely on dechlorinators as supposed to the fresh spring water I was using previously :/
Please any suggestions, I'd hate to lose the little guy he's intended as a tankmate for the other axie.
Thanks all. Ember
