The very first thread on the sick axolotl forum is a wonderful, detailed guide on how to do a salt bath. It's been stickied so it will always remain at the top.

Yes I did have a read of it but just got a little confused because I read so many different measurements for the solution used so was unsure on what method was best
But I appreciate your reply very much

Is it big or still pretty small? If unsure, do a little bit less that way it won't be too irritating but will still help with the fungus. You just might have to do it a little longer if you use less.

    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?
