I have 2 big axolotl tanks one holding 6 & the other 7. The other week I noticed 2 of my axies in the 7 tank seem to be shedding some skin whilst in the 6 tank they were all fine. Having reading up on people's previous posts with same issue it seemed to come down to the acidity in the ph.
I carried out a ph on both tanks the 6 tank ph was 7.6 & the 7 tank ph was 6.6. How they were different like that I have no idea as both get fed the same things & water changes etc. Anyway on Sun I added ph regulator powder to the 7 axie tank which is suposed to bring the ph to a neutral 7.0 plus I added tropical salt to the tank (just a jar at the petstore thats suppose to replace nutrients in tropical water & do ph good.)
Having looked at the same axies today in the 7 tank their skin is alot better but I did a test & the ph is still the same. Any suggestions? Or should I just add the regulator powder in again?
