Hi all,
Ive got 2 Axolotls that are around 4 years old. One of them (toothless) has had a few white spots come up on his body and his face. Initially i thought it was just pigment as the spots were not raised and there was none of the cotton looking fungus hanging off. 2 days ago i noticed that one of the spots looks like it has covered his eye. I went back to the aquarium shop and they told me to use BluePlanet Fungus Cure (2mg/ml Acriflavine, 0.40mg/ml Malachite Green) and just to add it to the tank.
After treating the tank (and tuning it green) i jumped on and googled what i was putting in (yeah should of really done this first, massive face palm) and have realised that i shouldn't be adding the Malachite Green as its harmful.
So my question now is what can i do to fix this stuff up?? I have already carried out a water change (around 50-60%) as i thought this would dilute the Fungus Cure down. should i continue to do this over the next few days to dilute it down further? any advice would be greatly appreciated
