2 Poorly Axies with white eyes .. fungus?

Hey everyone.

I have 2 Axolotls that have recently been treated for fungus which were on their gills. (gave them salt baths and fridged them for about 3 weeks)
I put them back in their tank about 2 weeks ago thinking they were all better.
Anyways, at first they were happy to be back in there, swimming & climbing around, but not eating. (The pink one nibbled on some bloodworm but the wildtype wasn't interested .. at all)
And then this white stuff started growing on their eyes ... and i'm really not sure how to treat it.
Checked the water and the results were pretty much perfect.
I have taken them out of the tank and they are currently staying in the fridge.
I have noticed they seem to have a bit of fluffy fungus on their tail still, so am giving them salt baths.
Something that is more noticeable on Pinky, is her veins are showing more than usual on her tail and head. and the tip of her tail is red. (almost like she has been wounded?)

Sorry for the fuzzy pictures .. I didn't want to attack them with the flash ...





If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

Ok the salt baths seem to be helping with their eyes a bit, but they do look a bit cloudy ...
They both look a bit red on their hands and tail ... (I tried taking a picture but it wouldn't show)
Not sure whether it was due to stress

Would really like some advice for their eyes and redness .. would a black tea bath help?

Black tea can be added to their tank water or even fridging water at any time & it will slowly dilute with water changes or you can add more to keep the levels up. It is good for their skin as it has a calming effect on the slime coat. Adding a dried almond leaf to the tank can also add the tannins that soothe the axolotls skin.

Once the fungus seems gone stop doing the salt baths & just add some tea to the water, keeping a close eye on the water temperature & parameters

Thank you Nikki, I'll give it a go when the fungus clears up!

I miss seeing their pretty lil eyes .. and they probably miss feeling hungry ...

I meant that you could add black tea to their normal water after their salt baths - it will help to soothe the skin & stave off more fungus. If you're doing 100% water changes - just add the tea to your clean water daily.

It will help

Thanks Nikki!
Just a quick update to say that the lil guys are doing much better!
Their eyes are almost back to normal and the redness isn't as bad now

Good to hear -
hope they're back to normal now
