A friend directed me to this site a few days ago after my son's axolotl climbed out of the tank and hurt himself (see thread in sick axo forum)
We only got the axolotl a week ago. I am pretty upset that the exotic pet shop didn't give me the correct information... I had no idea about cycling or testing the ph etc... even though I specifically asked what I need to do. I wish I knew this forum existed and I would have done everything properly.
So I'm wondering if I've got an axolotl already... how do I go about getting the water right? Do I put him in a different container whilst he's sick and recovering and work on the tank now? I've searched the forum for info on how to cycle but can't find instructions, just people mentioning it. Sorry, it's information overload here. Can someone help me? I just don't want this poor little thing to suffer (his name is Aladar by the way
).
Thank you in advance!
