I bought a younger axolotl from a local pet store mainly because I couldn’t leave him there. The lady at the registered states the night before she took one home to try to nurse back to health. These were in the tank with some gold fish and then some other fish. I brought him home and he seemed to do well for a few days. He then began to start showing signs of stress with floating and literally bashing his head into the wall of my tank. I removed him and he was fridged for two days. He then was placed in a tub with ial leaves and brew. I treated him 3x a day with methylene blue. He is have a lot of fungus on his face. I was able to remove all his fuzz with a Q-tip and still let him enjoy his ial. I have returned him to the tank where ial leaves are still in the tank(new ones not the original ones). PH is holding at 7, Nitrates and Nitrites are both 0. water is 70% with 3 fans going. He looks 100% better And swims and is active. He has eaten very little but little is better than none. Tonight it looks like there may be some fuzz on his face or maybe it’s just the dead skin it doesn’t look like a cotton ball to me. Suggestions? Do I let him be and not stress him out with another qt or do I treat again before a bigger issue is back?
