My axie has strange things on him....is this a fungus, and if not, how do I treat it.?
I am doing the bath with salt thing now, but is it enough ?
It looks like things that is stuck to his body....I hope you can see it on the pic
I do not fill the tank with normal tap water, but with bottled water.....and if I dont have bottled water on hand, I boil my tapwater, let it cool down, and then fill the tank..is this ok ?

Hi Rina, I don't know much about axolotl health issues, but that looks like some type of parasite to me.Hopefully one of the others will be able to look at it and be able to confirm or correct me, in the mean time I'd do the salt baths and look into maybe finding a vet who knows how to treat axolotls..All the best
 
This doesn’t look good at all. I think this is a fungus and it an encased infection (yellow bagging) still seems to be. I would add to the salt bath still black tea. This helps the skin! Anyway I would visit, in addition, a veterinarian because of yellow bagging. They worry to me as the fungus. You should take the animal also from the tank and cool down.

If you use tap water you should treat it with a water ager or dechlorinator. The things on him/her don't look too good.

What is your tank temperature?

How long has s/he had this on him/her?
