I have 3 adult axies that were moved temporarily due to having babies. I kept the 2 females in one tank and the male in another. I noticed yesterday that the male has lost all of his fluffy gills to fungus and around his tail too. I started giving him salt baths today and keeping him refrigerated, he's eating fine and it looks like the fungus on his tail has gone but the tip is curved and red.
The issue I have though, is that before I noticed this, I put him in with the females to clean his tank out. One seems fine but the other has white marks on the tip of her gills, the same as the sick one does. I separated both females earlier but she hasn't moved from the same spot in over 6 hours. Her gills are flapping forward fairly often so I was wondering if it was worth giving her salt baths too but not refrigerating her because she's fine otherwise.
