Keep the treatments. Hopefully you find Thing Two. I know it's stressful to lose a pet, but I'm sure you'll find him.
 
make sure that the container he is tubbed in is glass as plastic can encourage bacterial growth.
on the information I provided for your other posting it had how the axolotl colony dealt with certain issues, ie. fungus, mold, red plague etc.. one of the first things they did was making sure that the axolotl water contains holtfreters solution (how to make it etc.. is also in the information).
to prevent spread if it is caused by bacteria some of the tail may require amputation, this is because some bacteria can inhibit regrowth of healthy tissue.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
