Hi everyone,
I moved to a new place a couple of months ago and I don’t have good tap water unfortunately. I have between 0.25-0.5 ppm nitrites. I’ve been doing water changes with spring water but I’m thinking of getting an RO/DI system. Can I please ask what the best products are to remineralise the RO water for axies?
Thank you

Thank you. I was told that Equilibrium is not suitable for axolotls because of the iron content

Seachem Replenish is your basic replacement for RODI - Its basically Holtfreters solution by the ingredients
Seachem Equilibrium is a next step if you have or want live plant

    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?
