Hello All,
Wow, What an awesome site this is!! Im looking forward to exploring all the info!!
I do have a question, I am about to collect my first axolotl, i have already set up the tank and his tank mates/ dinner are already installed. (guppies). I have notices one have a couple of white spots on her. Now normally i would simply treat this but with the arrival of the axolotl I did not want to put anything in the water that might be harmful to him.
From research I have found that chemicals such as malachite green can be very harmful to axolotls.
The normal whitespot treatment i have dose not properly state its ingredients (i have herd this about a lot of leading brands) so not sure i what to use it.
So... this brings me to Virkon. does anyone have experience using it to treat axolotls/fish?
other than a disinfectant. Or can anyone suggest another treatment safe for use with fish and axolotls.
Any info will be greatly appreciated
thank you in advance.
