Hi guys, I'm new to the site. I was wondering if some one could help me. I've had my axolotl for about a week now and he has developed 3 lumps in his side. I gave him pellets for the first time the day before yesterday and he ate 6. Could that be it? He's about 9cm long and his sides are still clearish. Also I'm having trouble keeping the
Ammonia levels down. I had the tank for two weeks before I put my axolotl in. Could it still be cycling and having Ammonia highs? I'm doing a 20% water change every day. Also he wouldn't eat yesterday and hardly moved. I was worried he wasn't pooing as well but he had one last night and 3 today. He seems a bit better now.
Info.
70 letter tank
White fine sand
19c
Fake plants
Hide
Ammonia was 0.55 today but I do 20% changes every day
Filter on lowest setting. Hangs off the back of the tank but I have prevented the water from plunging back into the tank.
One more thing. After I treat the water how long till its safe to put in the tank?
Any help would be great guys. I didn't think I would worry so much over a white slug with legs.
Thanx
