Axy died, tankmate ok?

[daniel]

My smaller axolotl passed on today. We saw this coming for a while, as she had scoliosis develop over the first half year and lived through it for another year and a half. It looks like heart/liver failure (?) was the final cause (swollen jaw, refusing food for the last few days).

Her tankmate (male leucistic) seems ok, but Im wondering if I should do a water change or any treatment just in case.

Why do you think you may need to change the water?

Was it a long time before you found her? If thats the case I say yes, do a water change.

Other than that, I would say you don't need to, except for piece of mind.

I found her within 20 minutes of her passing.

I'm sorry to hear of her passing. A water change other than the regular shouldn't be necessary if the problem wasn't contagious.
