Question: Almond Leaves Make Salt Baths Less Effective?

When my axie got a fungal infection on her gills, I bought some almond leaves to leave in her tank and let their anti-fungal and medicinal properties do their thing. I was already doing twice-daily salt baths, as I normally did. I just thought that the leaves would help her skin and slime coat, as well as kill the fungus more gently. I was then told that I should not have been doing that, as the tannins from the leaves would make the salt baths less effective? Can anyone confirm or deny this?:confused:

    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?
