Ok yesterday we woke up to our 4 axies been more or less completely white and they where all were very sluggish, nugget was the worst as we thought s/he was dead as s/he was on his/her side and its legs where in funny positions, and gills where nearly gone (they had been fed the night before and all where fine) so we have put them all in the fridge stright away and done 15 min salt baths every 6 hours,and while they are in the fridge they are in decloranated water with almond leaf extract in and almond leaves in which is changes on a morning and a night, so there slime coat is not hurt as much with the baths and they are all looking ALOT better and they are alot more active some still have some small bits on them so i think they just need a few more baths and thats it, i believe i know what has caused the out brake, it has as 3-4 days ago we did a 50% change to try and get the temp of the tank down due to the hot weather which i think is whats done it, the only thing im unsure of is whether i need to do a strip down of the tank or not as i dont want the same thing to happen again if they go back in as the water in the tank is cloudy as if we have had a bacterial bloom so im unsure if the tank needs a strip down or not any insite on this issue would be great thanks,
the axies will be staying in the fridge until im positive they are better and i know the tank is safe for them to go back into. and if we continue to have this hot weather they may stay in the tank till it cools off
