Hello everyone! My axolotl, Xochimilco, isn’t eating very much and I am starting to worry about it. I’ve used algaecide in my tank because of all the brown algae it had but I’ve realized that that was probably toxic to axolotls therefor I changed the entire water of the tank and replaced it with fresh dechlorinated tap water. I have a filter and live plants in my tank, perhaps the live plants still carry the algaecide and therefor responsible for axolotl’s illness? Please help if you had any experience with algaecide, the active component of it is monoliniron but I’ve used it accordingly to the tanks measurements. I know amphibians are very sensitive to chemicals but this is the 3rd water change that I’ve done, the first two being only half of the tank’s water. Thank you in advance!
