Fungus growing on my axolotl

Peter Hu · Oct 30, 2022

Hi everyone, I am having a major problem with my axolotls. I always feed them with bleed worm until last week. I dig up earth worms from the back yard and fed it to them. I fed earthworms to them on Monday and they were fine until Friday, I see white cotton spot on their skin. Today, Sunday, I see a whole coat of fungus on them. My water test came back all good except ph was a bit low. Right now I give them black tea bath 2 times a day for 10 mins. I also added 10ml of api melafix for them to heal in my 20 breeder tank. Please advise what to do to save my axolotl. Thank you everyone!!

It may be helpful to treat your tank with holtfretters solution or something of the like. These solutions can help clear out present fungus infestations in your tank and also can treat the current fungus on your axie's. There is salt present but it is not as extreme As salt baths.

My axie had some fungus but not as extreme as urs. I used this solution and did some Indian almond leaf baths and her fungus went away
