Hello there, I own an adorable leucistic axolotl named Who.
He's about two years old now, and I've just moved to a new home. I set up his tank immediately just as I have in the past. I use Prime (I used to live in the city, so prime was a major need), but now live further out in the country, and the water here seems to have a slight sulfur quality to it.
Who has never been stressed before so when I saw that his gills were curved forward and his tail is slightly curved I kind of freaked out.
I've checked for all the most common and dangerous illnesses and he is not sick or constipated, so I'm thinking it's either the water, or I'm just a mom that's freaking out too much.
What are the effects of sulfur water on axies, and do I need to buy a sort of water softener? (I already use Prime, and let the water sit for 24 hours before putting it in the tank)
So am I just being too worried or is this something I need to act on quickly?
I appreciate any advice you guys have!
