I have been using reptisafe water conditioner since i first got my tiger salamander for his water bowl and spray bottle now the pet store i usually go to has stopped selling it and are now selling exo terra aquatize which is 2 dollars more, but i talked to a sales associate and he told me all water conditioners are the same and that i could buy a bottle from the fish section and that would work for my salamander,betta and turtle.

One contributor suggested Vitamin C, which is a bit unusual. I don't know much about it so it might be worth looking up.
There are a few doubts about fish water cleaners being safe for amphibians. I have been using API Goldfish Cleaner, which makes tap water safe for fish, but hasn't affected Toothless at all. I've used about 6 capfuls in the last two days alone (1 tank move and one DISASTROUS mistake leaving bloodworm behind after a meal with no filter - lesson learned!) and it keeps her water clear. We do have the advantage that Cornwall's water is relatively low in chlorine, not sure about chloramines (I think that's the other type) though :talker:

Stress coat, Novaqua and other tap water conditioners should be just fine.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
