Hey! New axie owner here.
In the span of one day, I noticed the development of a cotton-like, stringy fungus appearing on my 3 in axolotl gills. I've begun treatments as (s)he is currently being fridged and I am giving salt baths once a day. I tested my parameters with flying colors and the temp is around 62 degrees F. I can't seem to pinpoint a cause and it's making me nuts. (S)he is currently housed in a 10 gallon tank with 4 cherry shrimp (they've become friends) and there haven't been any signs of stress from the axie as far as the tail or gills! I do keep noticing that there's a white filmy substance (looks like flaky fish food) on the bottom of my tank that is nearly impossible to clean although I keep trying with my turkey baster. While Trixie is being treated, I've begun my Accuclear treatment of the tank.
As far as other details, the tank was cycled for two months before I got Trixie, I use live plants, driftwood, river rocks, two terracotta hides, a small airstone, and the biowheel penguin 75 filter which I recently added floss and bio-medium to as the biowheel stopped spinning.
Please help! I'm afraid that as soon as I finish her treatment, she'll get sick again. I even recently cleaned out the tank because the filmy substance on the floor!
