Hi, we are new at taking care of an axolotl, around a month ago we recieved an axie, I've noticed his skin is turning greish, he has somekind of mucus over it.

We have been feeding him with fish, and I noticed one of them was covered in white dots and its tail look rotten, I inmediatly removed that fish, but because of the fact that that fish shared the tank with our axie for some days, we are worried our axie may have caught something.

As I said, we are new to all this and se tend to panic about nothing, so, if you can help us, ir would ve incredible


Thank you!!

It could be fungus: From axolotl.org: Saprolegnia, the most common sort of true fungus found in freshwater, can be treated by similar measures as Columnaris and this fungus is only rarely fatal, if treated early. If your tap water has chloramine, this can be used as a treatment for fungal problems. Bathe the wounds or immerse the animal in the water for a few minutes each day, as you would with a salth bath. Fungus can also affect eggs, and effected eggs should be removed if feasible, because the fungus can spread to other eggs quite quickly. Pictures of axolotls with fungus:
