So weird..... I have 4 Axies in one tank and one just died. He was just swimming around more this morning and I can back and he was dead on the bottom! I am so sad! the others seem fine! I have about 100 newly (one week old) laid eggs. I don't want everyone to die! HELP:cry::cry::cry:

Thank you
 
Was there anything on him? I had a golden albino swimming a lot and died on the bottom.
So was there anything on him or any injuries.
 
Actually I am so new to all of this, I truley didn't notice anything! However, since I have had them maybe two months if that..... "he" has always looked different then the rest. Just thought that was normal cause they all come different colored. no fungus spots or anything obvious to the naked eye. He ate well and was fine the night before. So, actally at a loss! they others are great and appear healthy. I just don't want anymore to die! I will do another water change tomorrow ans transfer theeggs to a new tank. Thank you everyone for your kindness.

Your welcome. Keep a close eye on them.:happy:
 
Actually, could you take
Nitrites test and ammonia and ph.
Also what have you been feeding them?
 
Ok, so I have been doing water changes and have realized that the ph of my tap water is so high..... over 7.6. can I use "fish" stuff to raise the acidity and lower the ph? I have stuff from my years of fish tanks but I have read that most things for fish can't be used on for axies? Help....... I have transfered the eggs into a new tank!

Axies prefer the pH a bit higher, 7.6 is good.
 
7.6 is ideal. But what about the others?
Nitrites test and ammonia.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
