Hello everyone, I'm at a loss right now. Yesterday I switched my axolotl from her 10 gallon to the 30 gallon that I had refurbished, and suddenly she looks absolutely terrible! She has white fluff all over her gills, and little red spots that look kind of like skin pores near her tail. Her gills are curved forward pretty far, and I've never seen her do this before! All water was declorinated to my knowledge, and her test parameters right now are:
ammonia: 0.50 ppm
nitrite: 0.25 ppm
nitrate: 0-5.0 ppm
pH: 8.2
The water very suddenly got quite cold, going from 68 to 59 overnight; could it be that? I'm just really confused, she had no signs of fungus at all before and even with sudden changes I don't think she could get so much to grow on her gills overnight!
I'll upload a photo shortly; I am making her a tea bath right now.
