Hey Guys!

I’m new to the forum and new to Axolotls but I’m getting the hang of it. I have two adult axie’s in a 20 gal long tank and I’ve had one for about 3 months now. I got a golden axie in Feb and a Lucy in March and they’ve been doing fine. However, I’ve noticed over the past week or two that the GH level in the tank are reading as “very hard” and I can’t seem to get it down. My Lucy’s gill stalks appear to be curling slightly forward but not much. All the other levels are normal - just the GH is high. They are both still eating and moving around just fine. Any suggestions on how to bring the GH level down?

    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?
