Axie died ... :(

[strengy]

Hi, my axie died and I have no clue why. This sickness took action really fast. 10 days ago he looked perfectly fine and now he is dead....
Picture of the final stage of him is really said.... first he had some blur on an eye + some red bloody spots.... later on these bloody spots transform into some skin bubbles.....
there are/were another 2 axies in the same tank and they are perfectly fine....
Can anybody tell what happened to him ?

I would guess that's some sort of infection. Without a necropsy, it's hard to tell. I've never seen anything quite like that. Maybe one of the vets will chime in.

But additionally, your gravel can cause serious illness, even death. Gravel of that size, while easily ingested, does not pass easily through the digestive tract. This can cause impaction, which has killed axolotls.
