someone please tell me the levels theses need to be
thanks :p
 
i keep my general hardness at about 8 - 12, which is medium hard.
I am unsure of the carbonate hardness needed, but I know it affects ph. When my carbonate hardness is at about 2 - 3 the ph is perfect.
I also wanted to ask again about what could bring down my ph... everyday my carbonate hardness is back to 0 and my ph is at 6 or under.
I've removed the axies at this point, as I fear stressing them with constant ph fluctuation. So I am open to any suggestions. Some of you may remember this is an ongoing problem, I just changed my sand thinking that was the problem...... and it wasn't!!! grrrr.

    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?
