Is this fungus?

[blakec1211]

My axolotl has been recovering from ammonia burn and since then he has looked like he is peeling but I'm worried it could be fungus, just wanted to see if anybody knows.

I think it's just slime shed from the chlorine exposure. Just keep using the Seachem Prime to dechlorinate.

Should I fridge him?

read up about and use holtfreters in the water, ideally same as author with 0.1g magnesium sulphate, info Axolotls - Requirements & Water Conditions in Captivity
if you cant get the chemicals for holtfreters straight away use 2g - 3g salt per litre of water (ideally non iodinised ie.. marine, but at this point any salt is better than non)
fridging him/her might give your axolotl the extra time to heal so yes, if you can set the fridge no lower than 5°c, place on middle self.

Yes, it's gills weren't moving at all (flicking) and when I tried giving it a tea bath he just sunk sideways and didn't move

Sorry I tried picking it up to see if it would move and it wouldn't and it had red marks everywhere, when I saw it around noon it was barely able to move, also its eyes are pale

Yeah I'm fine just bummed that I couldn't get him to get better, after fridging and tea baths seems like he got hit my fungus and ammonia burn at the same time and he couldn't recover
