Does Alexus Have Fungus

[jorja]

Hi, my name is Jorja and am very new to axies and I think one of my Axie (Buttercup) has something very wrong.
It started last week when her frilly things behind the ears strated looking funny and after a couple of days they look like white pom poms behind her ears.
Please help... I dont know what to do}
Is it Fungus??

most likely fungus. i advise you give her salt baths. whats the temp of your tank?.

fungus looks like fluffy cotton wool sort of. heres a link on salt baths http://www.caudata.org/cc/articles/salt.shtml

as alex said whats the temp of your tank? and what are your water parameters. how long have you had the tank set up for also.

I have had the tank for about 3months now. I live in Australia which means it gets very hot so the Air con is automaticaly set at 19oC. There are two axies in the tank but only one has been effected.
Thank you so much..

The 'ears' you mention are actually their gills. Axolotls don't have ears.
