Goldie Blue Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I know a few of us here keep axolotls, today I cut my finger pretty good while cleaning her tank items. They get slimy stuff all over them, so I like to clean the plastic suction cups etc, and was right in the middle of that with slimy goo all over my hands when it happened. I cleaned out with soap, hydrogen peroxide, then bactine and neosporin with a band aid. Should I be worried? I know the bacteria in axolotl tanks is different than fish tanks, and I read a horror story on Reddit once that scared me pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBOzzie59 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 What is different about the bacteria? That slimy stuff sounds like bio-film and is a healthy part of the ecosystem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have a slime coat themselves, I am not sure if the slimy stuff in there is from her body or something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
