Hey guys,

I set a tank up about a month ago with two axolotls. I have recently been looking to buy some live plants to add to the tank to help with water quality. I found someone selling anubias nana and anubias nana petite online and thought these looked okay. However before I pay and go pick them up, I was curious if these plants looked healthy? The only thing that worried me was the leaves appear to have some white dots on them that I am not sure what they are. Could these be harmful to my axolotls?

It's hard to see what you're talking about. Can you take close-up photos?

Can you describe the white spots better? Are they oval, slightly smaller than rice-sized and glued onto the leaves? If so, they could be the eggs of nerite snails, which are not harmful don't hatch in freshwater because they need brackish water to reproduce.

Good luck.

    To raise GH, add calcium carbonate (or tums). What has you doing this?

    Thank you! My tap water is naturally low in GH and KH, and I need to raise it... but I don't want to raise the pH, which is perfect, with coral.

    Hey guys, I suppose this is a foolish question, but will my long-toed salamanders over-eat resulting in obesity?

    what are thoughts on using crushed coral or tufa rocks for resining the ph level in my tank? I have the seachem ph alert and it’s reading 5.4

    Hi, I really need some advice about cloudy water in my axlotl tank!

    Hi Delaney. Can you be more specific? There are lots of reasons for cloudy water, such as substrate getting kicked up, water hardness, etc. if you don’t have hard water and it doesn’t settle then I’d do a water change and see if that helps.

    Hey guys... Hope you all keeping well... I have 4 fire belly newts and one looks very bloated... I have seperate him and moved him to his own enclosure so he can get better hopefully but I don't have a filter in this specific enclosure. Please can you guys advise if I need to get him one or whether I can leave it? I have read a lot of articles that say they prefer still water and I can change his water frequently keeping it clean. Please advise 😊
