Hello everybody, I'm new on the forum. I have a problem with one of my axolotl... few days ago the tip of one of the gills has turned white and has lost filaments. I'm really sad because he had very beautiful gills. Do you know what’s happened to him? I show you the pics how he was before and how he is now. Thanks for your help.

First things first have you tested your tank for ph, high range ph, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate with a liquid test kit?

I would tub and do 100% daily water changes with prime treated cold water.

This is usually from a spike or uncycled tank
 
Parameters are ok...

Ph = 7,5
No2 = 0
No3 = 10
Ammonia = 0
Temperature = 64,4°
 
How long has the tank been set up?

The loss of gill filaments is from water quality or missing elements.

You could try plain pickling/aquarium salt, johns solution or holtfreters solution.
