Hi all,
I came back from holiday a little over a week ago to find that one of our axolotls was looking a little bit ropey. He has had white, irridescent spots on his tail since he arrived, but I noticed that this had gotten worse whilst we were away and some of his gills had the white in them too. I had a good read on here and other sites and came to the conclusion that this was a fungal infection. We have been following the fridging and salt bath guide on here very carefully. He has been in for a week but doesn't seem to be getting any better. He was having one salt bath a day, but we have now upped it to two. We have been using rock salt and doing our best to ensure that is is fully dissolved. We have now started on aquarium salt too.
He hasn't eaten either, but from what I've read this is normal and nothing to be too concerned about.
Do fungal infections usually take this long to go away? I feel so sorry for him being away form his tank and mate
Any advice would be greatly received. I can get some photographs if this would be of use.
Thank you in advance x
