I am concerned that my pet axolotl has a fungus and need advice on how to treat it. Tank PH is 6.0 and shows zero ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite.
Hello, sorry to hear about your axolotl. I would agree that your axolotl has an active infection. Try to separate them into a hospital tank or tupperware for treatment. Do increased cleaning and clean water changes on the tank. Maintain the water in the 61-64 degrees range. Many people do daily tea baths for 10-15 minutes at a time and use the tannins as an antifungal/antibacterial agent. Unfortunately, your axolotl's growth needs treatment from a veterinarian to have safe levels of antibiotic or antifungal treatment.
