Hi all,

I decided to make the switch to sand while my axolotl is recovering in the fridge. I only rinsed the sand through twice (I know I made a mistake here) and when I added the sand the water was very cloudy. I added a water clarified and overnight the water is now crystal clear. My question is, is it safe to put my axolotl back in the tank? Should I take out the sand and start over??

Thanks!!
 
I'd be more concerned about being sure the ingredients in the water clarifier are safe for you axi. But if you know that's ok and your tank parameters are good there shouldn't be a problem.
 
I second what Giuseppe said. If you post the ingredients of the clarifier maybe someone on here will know.
 
Thanks guys. I'm confident the clarifier is a safe one; I've used it many times before in my axolotl tank for cloudy water due to beneficial bacteria blooms. It's called acurel-F. My axolotl is back in the tank and seems to be doing well. Thanks again!

    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?
