Re: Sick axolotle

Does it look like it's sitting on the surface of the lips? Is it crusty or fluffy looking?
Test your water parameters (temperature, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate) and post them here.

No salt... I would say it's a bacteria infection and needs medicine from a vet. But if vet not an option start with API Furan-2 or tetra cycline - antibiotics sold on Amazon and pet stores
