Hi I am planning on giving Monte a tea bath as she apears to have the same condition as shown here Photos of Sick Axolotls (the white skin patches illness), but I am unsure as to how long to leave her in. Does anyone have any experiance with tea baths as i can't find much info on the tea bath apart from that mentioned on the axie sanctury website.

Have a look here (4th one down) it should give you the info you need.

Also could you provide a pic of your axolotl so we can see the skin problem.

Good luck!

Mel

I have just finished the bathing her in water which was treated in a bucket and a tea bag left for 10 mins (this was all done based on the info I read from salt bath info) Monte was in for 10 mins. Then went mental round the tank for a bit and is now settled. Her skin seems ok now but il keep an eye on her and im going to do a water change, thanks for the link anyway and I will follow it for next time

    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?
