Hi Everyone, Please I need some help

Temp is 17
And all tank reading have been fine. They all have been tested with my master api kit.

I am having massive problems with some of my axolotls one of my females and some of my juvies.

I think a Parasite or something got into their tank sand a few months back and since then I have had no end of trouble and some deaths.

All up it was 3 tanks my males. Females, Juvies, all axies got sickish. They were and still are eating but all got very skinny they eat worms most of the time. Sometime a little prawn or bloodworm (which I think was the problem) I removed all axies and stripped all tanks and started again but I did lose a few axies at this point.

After cycling the tanks I and I thought I had got on top of whatever was effecting my axies I put them all back in the tanks and again with a week they were back to looking really under weight and unfed ( im feeding them every day)

So again I took them out this week I am so confused on what is happening they are eating but look so under weight. I lost 2 juvies last night and Im over it. I have 3 juvies who have never been in the tanks and are healthy as and babies who are healthy as.

I can only think its a internal parasite if it is a parasite what can i use to treat it?
 
You need to take your axies to a vet to identify the parasite and get a suitable treatment at an appropriate dose. Take poop samples along too.

In the short term I would separate all your sick axies into indivdual tubs so you can monitor them and collect individual poop samples.
