Healing gills, bubbler needed?

[frootbats]

Hi everyone,
My axie Chimi is finally done with his salt baths and i moved him back into his tank today (hooray!) He's eating well and is acting more normal. However, his gills are still small (but growing more plumage). Hes fluffing them a lot- is this because hes not getting enough oxygen? Ive got a bubbler for his tank but didnt turn it on much before because he seemed to avoid it and the bubbles. Should i consider switching it on a low setting for him?

Bubbles don't normally bother them. Maybe put it closer to the top of the water so it's out of his way? (If it's an air stone with a suction cup.)

Gill flicking is a way to pass oxygen over the gills. Mine does it too while he sits around.

You should try tea bath to sooth his gill and skin. Bubblur would help him I know mine does after gill lost you can see the different . Oxygen in water help gill to speed the healing . My axie love bubble cause they use it like an elevator to the surface
