Hi All!
New owner here. Due to some unexpected circumstances I had to pick my leucistic axolotl, Caduceus, up from the breeder before intended and my tank isn't quite ready.
Testing the water regularly and the levels are moving along, but the breeder recommended I keep her in a tub until the tank's ready, changing the water every day.
I picked one up that's a little smaller than the tank she was in at the breeders but as she was sharing that with three or four others I thought it would be okay for a week or so? Hopefully the main tank will keep cycling at the rate it has been.
Had her in there for a couple days and she seems fine, active and eating well and no obvious signs of stress.
I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for speeding up the main tank's cycling? I was thinking about getting something to eliminate the ammonia but don't know if that'll throw the nitrite and therefore the nitrate levels out of wack.
