My axi felcor is about four years old and has been living in a 75 gallon aquarium for about three years I would normal feed him earth worms, blood worms and brine shrimp, once in a while I would put a few feeder fish in the tank which he would eat. This last month I placed in new feeder fish and after a few days I noticed once side of his gills were shrinking and white fluffy looking substance on them the next day they were almost completely gone and the other side looked as it started to get infected as well. I have fridges him and been performing salt bath for the last few days starting at 15 min intervals then lowered the time to ten and from twice a day to just once a day but with a water change twice a day with same water temp. His one side the side with his gills almost gone no longer has the white fluff but the other side seems to be getting worse. I also noticed today when doing the bath he threw up and he has not eaten for a few days but def threw up is last meal brine shrimp. He's also looks like he's gasping for air and does a body spasm in which his tail kind curls up towards his side of his body then releases almost like he's trying to throw up. Has anyone here dealt or seen this is there a way I can post a video or send a video to anyone ?? Thanks
 
Hello,
Do you usually watch your axie eat, or do you sometimes leave the feeder fish in the tank unattended? Do you think it's possible the feeder fish have nipped at his gills? If you could attach a clear picture of his current state, it would be most helpful in determining a course of action.
