Hi there, everyone. This is my first post so hopefully that's OK.
I need some help. My aquarium's levels seemed to have spike slightly overnight and I'm unsure what to do as a new axolotl owner. It's already a cycled tank and levels were acceptable/normal yesterday. I don't use any feeder fish or anything alive. They're still small, so they've been feasting only on bloodworms and hikachi carnivore pellets & doing my best to clean up leftover food and excrete that I see in the tank. I use a Fluval 206 if that helps and I'm using an API test kit. I feed in a mason jar and have three 3-3.5 inch babies.
pH: 7.4ppm
Ammonia: 0.50ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: 5.0ppm
The aquarium is 38 gallons... Should I do a 25% water change or 50% water change? Is there anything I should be adding extra to the tank at this point? The axolotls are already tubbed in fresh water and eating some bloodworms as we speak. Any advice, tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, everyone in advance. Also I apologize if I'm freaking out over nothing, I'm new to aquatic animals in general but I tried doing my research before getting these guys so hopefully, I keep learning as I go.
