i am entirely at fault for this, but one of my cats broke into my fishtank and injured my baby axolotl, Muffy. I have no idea how. They have kids that I keep hooked onto the tank. I must’ve not closed it properly. My sister came to play with said cats and found Muffy laying on my bed in scratches. She rushed muffin to her tank and muffin is alive and okay. She’s acting normally but the scratches concern me. I dunno how long she was out. She’s acting perfectly fine. Swimming and wandering. But I know she hurts. What can I do to fix her pain faster? I tubbed her immediately and no loner allow cats in that room. Help me now, guilt me later. I know this is my fault and I feel so so awful.

So my baby axolotls are in their own five gallon tubs until they’re big enough for their big tank. They were gifted to me a bit ago so I wasn’t exactly ready but made it work. They get 100% water changes everyday. They eat everyday. They have their own fan to keep the water perfectly cool. And yet. When I checked on them after work and school, one was perfectly fine BUT THE OTHER. covered in white fuz and poop EVERYWHERE. I immediately gave her fresh water and assessed the damage but couldn’t figure out what caused it. I gave her a black tea bath and put her in freshwater afterwards but her gills are still so bad. She swims funny if at all and she looks like she’s in pain. She hasn’t eaten and I don’t know what to do. I don’t know if I should do a methylene bath or what I can do to help her other than keep her comfy and keeep trying to fix the issue. I never touch her or her sibling. And as said the sibling in the exact same conditions is perfectly fine and chipper. What should I do to fix this quickly?

So little Lattes gills turned black again. ATM my axolotls are tubbed because I had a lovely tank crash. They get 100% water changes every single day and I strictly monitor them. I feed them nightcrawlers and they both eat just fine recently. My only concern is the last time her gills did this she was VERY VERY sick and I almost lost her. She scared me senseless. So I’m trying to act fast and see if somethings wrong or if anybody else understands why her gills are doing this. Her twin brother is completely fine and in the same condition, just a different tub. No axie babies here lol. Insight would be nice!
