Hi there,

I had an unexpected nitrate spike a few weeks ago and lost one of my axies :(
Now one of my other girls is showing the same signs. I have her tubbed with IAL, is there anything else I can do?
I’m doing 50% water changes daily and I have just added live plants).
I was warned against fridging (I have a temp controlled wine fridge) and my other one was thrashing around in pain. I feel like the fridge would have helped?
I’m so lost, please help.

    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?
