Hi everyone, I really need help/advice regarding my axolotl.
My axolotl is about a year old, and I’ve had her for about 9 months. Her name is Dana Scully. She has had a small amount of fungus on the tip of her right and left gill that keeps coming back, and I’ve been treating her for it for the past 4 or 5 days. I’ve been keeping her in an isolation tub and giving her 2 salt baths each day. I just realized that I have accidentally been putting in too much aquarium salt (2 teaspoons for 1/2 litre, 10 minutes at a time) but she still seemed okay, until today.
I also moved on Thursday, April 30th and brought her with me. I transported her in a Tupperware on my lap and again, she seemed fine until this morning. She has been eating the past couple of days, and her fungus seemed like it was beginning to come off yesterday. But, this morning, her gills are very short and pale, and she spat out the food that I tried to give her. She could just be full, but I have never seen her gills look like this before.
I always use a dechlorinater and the temperature has been between 17-18 degrees celsius.
I’m attaching photos of what she looks like right now, as well as of a water test I just did of the water in her isolation tub.
Any information/advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m really worried and I don’t know what to do.
