Help! fungus or something?

[chris]

ok can i use the same containers to salt bath all 6? or should they have their own? or can i use 6 other containers for each of them to soak? if so how long can i use the same salt bath water for?

 

[cynthia]

If they are all healing I would salt bath them all together just because it is easier. If some of them look worse than others I would keep them all separate.

I mix up fresh salt bath water each time, and wash the containers between uses.

 

[chris]

sweet thanks i think its starting to help? thanks so much cynthia and everyone else who contributed.

 

[chris]

here are some pics of the fungus and "driftwood" let me know what you think?

 

[brian]

Thats standard driftwood, shouldn't cause a problem. And that definetly looks to be fungus on his toes.

 

[chris]

now there are little worm looking things, the ones that wiggle around realy fast! are those bad? how do i treat them without hurting my plants? is this one drift wood too?

 

[brian]

yup, it's driftwood too. Are the worms attatched to the axie? If not, where are they?

 

[chris]

ok got registered. the axies are in the fridge, the tank is still goin. they are free floating and lay motionless tell the get moved then wiggle all crazy like

 

[chris]

and now i found little tiny white looking leeches or something? they slug around on the glass

 

[joan]

The little wormy things, do they fling themselves back and forth, like, bending in half, straightening out, bending in half? Have you noticed any little flying bugs? I have glassworms, which are gnat larvae in my tank (have yet to find a good way to prevent them). The little white things on the glass are probably flatworms, which are feeding on uneaten food or poo in the tank. Give it all a good cleaning, and remember that there's LOTS of things in the tank besides your axolotls, and that's normal!

ok, yeah the worms ar bending and flinging, are they bad?
