As sad as it makes me, I think I need to find Stelly a new home. I found fungus on his gills again.

Ammonia 0ppm
Nitrites 0ppm
Nitrates 20ppm
Ph 8.2
Temperature between 16 and 18 (depends on the day)
Weekly 50% water changes
Filter for a 70 gallon on his 20 gallon tank
Indian almonds leaves in the tank to help prevent illness.... a lot of good they are doing *eye roll*

He's now refusing earthworms and red wigglers and won't touch pellets. All he eats are bloodworms. Other than that, he's acting normally. He just keeps catching a fungus. This will be the second time in 4 weeks.

Something about how I'm keeping him, or in our water keeps making him sick. I know someone who, like me, has had a myriad of animals and may be interested in taking him. I love his silly little face so much and I'm going to miss him terribly, but I can't just keep salt and tea bathing him in quarantine, just to put him back a week later and he develops more fungus. :(
 
I'm really sorry to hear that your poor axie is having such a hard time! I don't think that you should put Stelly up for adoption though. What I would suggest doing would be doing more frequent water changes (every 1-2 days) and see if the fungus stops growing.

Sorry if this wasn't helpful, but I'd hate for you to have to give up a part of your family.
 
Try adding Holtfreter's salts to the tank. works wonders at keeping fungus at bay.
