Concerning Curled Tail

Hi. I have two Axolotls that are currently stressed. I bought a 55 gallon fish tank from someone, and little did I expect that I should’ve deep cleaned the tank because it was saltwater. It was my bad, as I didn’t think it would be a problem. I emptied the tank and cleaned it with white vinegar and the water parameter went from the 8 on ph to 7. I used prime to detoxify the ammonia, it’s at .25. They have eaten a little, but not a lot. They deny food a lot over the past few days and have very curled tips of their tails. I was just wondering if their stress will gradually go down, and if their appetite will increase and tail curling decrease gradually, or if it is supposed to happen immediately.

Is the tank cycled? Do you have pics of the tail?
