Would salt bath be okay for a very small axie? Around 1-1.5 inches. I think i see fungus on its body cos he got scratched up on its side. I'm keeping on water change everyday but I think I need to do salt bath but I dont know if it'll be safe on its tiny little self!
 
Have you got any pictures of the wound and fungus?

If it's very small it might be worth trying a milder treatment like tea bath or floating and Indian Almond Leaf in the water.

Pictures will make it easier for people to help. :happy:
 
Try the Indian almond leaves first. In my limited experience, I would say a lotl that tiny should not be given a salt bath unless it's virtually at death's door with a fungal infection.

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
