Hello!

I have two axolotls and the ammonia levels and nitrite levels are at 0. The nitrates however are always high (at least 40+ ppm). I understand that they aren't as harmful as nitrites and ammonia, but I'd still like to keep the levels lower. I remove all waste from the tank whenever I see it and I do a 50% water change at least once a week. Is there any other way to lower these nitrates?

Thanks!
 
plants, more water changes, bigger tank

    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?
