I am new to this amazing creature. Have a few questions
I have set up a tank with regular house water and letting it sit for 24 hours. Goal is to have two gfps in it on friday. I have read alot in the past few days and hear conflicting comments on where to buy and how to set up tank all the way to cycling the tank
Some say tank must be set up for 30 days prior to axoltols injection in tank.
The guy i am looking to buy from in Downers Grove IL says that no filter is needed and to set up a tank 24 hours before just to declorinate it. Then 100% water change once a week.:errr: (Even saw a post of a guy that killed 2 of his axoltols because he was doing 60% water change once a month and people replied that that was the cause due to stress. )
But many on this forum say never that drastic of a water change and to have set up for so long due to the right nitrate nitrite and amonia. (Most i have seen seem to have filter setup)??? Which is better for health of the axoltols.
:rofl:<---- Feel like this guy right now
I would think a 100% water change once a week would stress out the lil guys.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
