Hi, I am a very new (about 3 weeks in) “grandma” of an axolotl. We got one for our 8 year old, not realizing all the work that had to go into it. We did not know that we had to cycle the tank for a couple weeks before putting the axolotl in it so I believe the tank is cycling now. I don’t know what to do. The water parameters:
pH: 7.0
Ammonia: 1.0 ppm
Nitrite: .25 ppm
Nitrate: 5.0 ppm
I know those numbers are bad. Should I tub it? What does that all entail? I’ve gotten really confused/overwhelmed trying to read through all these forums searching for the answer. It seems to be acting normal and it looks normal. No tail or gill curling. No looks of burns or bulging. What should I do?
