Hi just hoping someone will know what the next step might be for me as i have a axolotl here that I've had for about six months and I'm guessing she's been bitten on the legs by the other two that i have in the tank and had these for nearly two years, i checked her out and i think she has the start of a fungal infection i have given her a salt bath and is now in the fridge to relax and hopefully start healing soon, so basically i just wanted to know when the fungus has gone can i put here back into the other tank or should i wait until the skin on her legs has completely healed over any advise is useful thanks.

Not sure if this helps but she laid a batch of eggs a couple of weeks ago not sure if this could lower her immune system and get the fungus ?

Keep her in the fridge for at least a couple of days to avoid the temperatures changing too rapidly. You could also put an indian almond leave in the tub with her. That would soothe her skin a bit and it also has mildly antifungal properties. I'd also suggest thinking about separating her from the other axies at least until she has healed properly to avoid more stress. It might be good to even separate them for good. If you do decide to put her in the same tank with the others it would be good to keep a very close eye on them and be ready to separate them if they try to attack again.
 
Thanks for the advise i have been giving her two salt baths a day she still have a little fungus but its half as what it was so its working great and still eating
