Hi! Im new to this site so sorry if this threat is awkward and unorganised.
Me and my Fiance have had 3 Axolotls for about 3 months (all siblings) and we've never really had any issues with them until recently. I believe they're about 6 months old now and they seem to be pretty aggressive to (what we think is) the girl one. (We think the other two are male) She hasn't really grown as quick as the others and she's recently been pretty shy when it comes to food whereas before she was the first to come and get it.
My partner noticed last night during feeding that the girl (snowflake) has a chunk taken out of her tail so I went to have a look and noticed that her legs seem really swollen and they're just kinda up in the air with what i think is fungus starting to grow on them and one of her hands. We've moved her into the sick tank (just a spare we have lying around that they used to be in) on her own so they can't hurt her while she's recovering. She's still eating and sometimes moving around and floating around with her tail underneath her. We also think they may have got a bite out of a bit of her gills on one side. She keeps moving them a lot this morning too. She seems pretty calm for the most part.
I was wondering if there's anything else we can do to help her heal or make her more comfortable? My partner is pretty worried she's going to die and I have pretty severe anxiety so I can't reassure him or really think under pressure.
I've attached some photos of her legs, tail and full body.
Thank you millions in advance!
By the way, the red by her tail is from the food i just gave her not blood or anything
