Hey everyone, I recently discovered a small white patch of fungus on my axie's gill. The infected gill itself seemed to be shrinking and loosing all of its red gill fimbriae. Since then, I've given it one salt bath which seemed to remove all traces of white fungus from the gill. I've also replaced all of the water in my tank, cleaned the sand, and cycled in frozen water bottles to keep the temp down. It seems to be doing a lot better now, but the gill is now significantly smaller and still missing all of the fimbriae. (The gill is still a little red where the fimbriae used to be.)
My questions are:
-Will the gill eventually fully regenerate?
-Is there anything else I should be doing to ensure good health for my axie?
Also on a side note, I recently got a new hide which is about twice the size of my original. Now my axie pretty much never leaves it except for when I feed it. It must also be dark in the room or else it will go back into the hide if a light is tuned on (Its kept in my basement so its dark majority of the time already.) This is a pretty new behavior considering it used to be fairly active and loved basking on top of it's bubbler. Any thoughts? Sorry about the huge post but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
