I recently started using reptisafe and was wondering if there is a reason this is not one of the recommended dechloraters on ... I forget which care sheet. I checked out the other three but I liked the convenient squeeze bottle with this.

If its not good enough I will certainly switch, But I was just curious.

I use Reptisafe for all of my animals. Never had a problem.

I use to use reptisafe and aquatize but i was told the painful truth about dechlorinators...they are all the same. According to a vet i took my salamander to for a check up, all dechlorinators have the same ingredients and they just charge you more for reptile or amphibian dechlorinators by sticking a picture on it and saying it's special.

I know they are all the same :) Where I get mine from they are all pretty much the same price so I figured I would get the one that worked the best for my needs.

I prefer Seachem Prime just because it has the extra utility of being able to bind ammonia into ammonium. Always useful to have around, just in case you have a mini-cycle or some other circumstance your fish/amphibian will be exposed to ammonia.

    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?
