ok he has been in the fridge for about 10 and a half hours and i just bought doc wellfish's aquarium salt......how much do i use per PINT...it doesnt say
 
How many pints are in a litre? cause its about 2 teaspoons per litre
 
we really really need to have this NaCl solution posted on the board someplace
 
wrong or right i soaked him in a 1 heaping teaspoon for 2 pints which is 8 cups. i don't know. this whole salt thing is very vague.
 
That's too weak. 8 cups = 2L, so there should have been 4 level teaspoons
 
There are varying opinions on the amount of salt. They are generally between 1 and 3 teaspoons/liter, so I use 2.
 
I think I speak for Jen and others including me when I say that the basic salt bath composition needs to be placed on this site at the bottom someplace.
 
i agree with you jeff, thats a good idea

yeah i read ed's link. it might as well been in french, (thanks anyway ed) but i need it to be simple how much salt per pint?? that would be easiest for me to wrap my mind around
 
1 liter = 2.11337641 US pints so if you cut the amounts in the article roughly in half you have the dosage per pint.
If you need the conversion to gallons 1 US gallon = 8 US pints

Actually, I added the "simple recipe" on that salt treatment page a couple of weeks ago. It's in the addendum at the end of the article, in fairly plain English. It says:

"about 10 minutes once or twice a day... 2-3 teaspoons non-iodized table salt per litre/quart"
A liter and quart are about the same; both equal roughly 4 cups.

I went back to the salt treatment page on Caudata Culture and further simplified the quote from the famous FAQ#43. I don't know what else could be done to make it easier to find this salt recipe. We can certainly appeal to John to put it in a more prominent location on the axolotl site.

    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?
