Hey everyone,
I have just bought a new aquarium which I am going to put some Axolotls in, however someone told me that I should put about 10 or 15 guppies (small fish) in the tank for a week so they get the water conditions right? after a week I should take out the fish and put in the axolotls? apparently this is because axolotls/fish don't live in pure water? I'm a little concerned about doing this in fear of the fish giving the axolotls diseases. Has anybody heard of this practice and should I do it? or is it just ok to place the new axolotls into clean water? thanks :dizzy:
