White tipped gills on axolotl?
I've had my axolotl, Brutus, for about two years now. I've been fridging him for about 3 weeks now due to my apartment being too hot for him to live in his aquarium. I change his water daily and feed him frozen bloodworms every 3-4 days. I went to feed him two days ago and he wouldn't eat, other than that he looked fine. Yesterday I came home and went to feed him and noticed he had some white cottony spots on his gills and he still refused to eat. As I was looking up information, he either pooped or spit up two servings of bloodworms that were given to him a week ago. He now looks very skinny, as he looked to be a normal size before. What can I do to help him? Is a salt bath required in this situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated
I took these photos right after he had relieved himself of the bloodworms. Some of them are still in the water in this picture (the stringy little red bits) I have changed his water and removed them.
