Overfeeding . The second and last picture is food for sure . The detritus worms being more noticeable would be another indication of overfeeding ..

Carbin Doser for the win ! Digital so no EOT dump .. Incredibly accurate fine tunning possible .:thumb:

They are best in a tank by themselves for breeding . It does not need to be large . 5 g works fine for me . I use a terra cotta pot bottom [ the water tray] for the rams to breed on since they like pits .. The hardness of the water will determine if the eggs can become fertile . Too hard and no...

Rams lay eggs . You have a female there for sure . Do you have a male to go with her ? Rams are considered pretty difficult to breed AND raise .. She looks healthy and happy IMO .

How much weight for rocks in a 72 ? This is a 10g ; I don't think you need to worry ? My 135 years ago ^^I had maybe 700-800 lbs of rock in that one !^^

I have no experience with axolotls but know that dose is shrimp safe ? You only need to treat tank with one dose usually for only 2-3 days . I would think about moving the rept. out for that short time .. Change water on tank after treatment [large water change as % changed is % med will be...

Looks like Hydra IMO . Fenbendazole will knock them out safely . Mix 1 gram of 22% with 200 ml water . This is the base solution . Then use 20ml of the solution for very 10g of tank .. The fenbendazole can be found at box pet stores in dog section going under the name Pancur ...
