Hello all, just wanted to ask about the technicalities to adding salt to an axolotl tank or not. I have read they they prefer slightly brackish water but also that only freshwater is the way to go. Some say if you have hard water, then keep it only fresh and if it is soft to add some salt. Some do it either way to add some nutrients to the water, and some won't do it at all because as long as water quality is good there is no reason to for them. I'm interested in the opinions and thought processes of people who do it or don't and why. If it is related to hardness or softness, can anyone explain in simple terms why that is?
