Scarlett is almost better!

Well, thanks to you guys, scarlett looks ready to make a full recovery. She is no longer pooing rocks, and she is no longer getting fungus. She has also regained her appetite. I was just wondering when it would be ok to put her back in the bigger tank with olive?

i would leave her at least another week after fungus has cleared, continuing with the salt baths. this will ensure it has thoroughly cleared up. then pop her in and see how she goes, just keep a close eye on the pair of them to make sure there is no repercussions.

Hi I agree with frances it would be advisable to wait a week to make sure the fungus has all gone before reintroducing.

Glad to hear of the improvements.

Good Luck

I would wait longer than a week if I was you, as Scarlett being your original axie (from memory), and Olive being the newer one, keep them separated for a bit longer since Olive wasn't quarantined for the required 30 day minimum period. This is mainly in case she gets stressed again and fungus develops.

well i have moved scarlett back into the big tank again. she seems to be doing ok, but she doesn't like the fact that there are no rocks to grip on to at the bottom of the tank. she keeps sliding around. It is funny because before scarlett got sick, she and olive were about the same size, and now olive is so much fatter.

Oh yeah, i forgot to tell you guys. i did end up buying one of those master water testing kits. was like $65 and it was the API brand.

so pleased to hear scarlett is doing so well, she will soon adjust to the bare bottom tank so wouldnt worry on that score.
im sue you will find that your money is well spent on your test kit aswell as you will be able to keep a closer eye on their enviroment and act before any serious problems occur.
