Hey guys, I recently got three A. mavortium larvae. Two are doing super well and feeding great on chopped earthworms. However the second has some damage to her gills. Should I do anything special to treat this or will they simply heal on their own?
Thanks!
 
As long as there's no infected tissue they should just heal on their own. If there are gills actually missing they are unlikely to regenerate, but after the animal morphs there will be no sign of any injury.
 
It appears some fungus has started to grow around her gills and they don't appear to be getting any better. Would fridging be a good idea? Potentially salt baths if the fungus continues to spread? Luckily it doesn't appear to be that bad just yet.
