Question: Oil spill in axolotl tank help!!!

[lotllover1986]

1986 So I need advice asap as I was doing a water change with my aged backup water which I have in water gallons as I poured on in I suddenly realized in that instant someone had poured cooking grease in it!!!! I freaked out within seconds and scooped out the grease I seen and then scooped my axi I v a separate tank w the same water luckily and got him onto a little shallow tub quite fast. But I am very worried about her now she is not too lively and has expelled all her food I looked in the tub to find yesterday a lunch along with waste in there. Not sure if she threw up lunch or pooped but it has been a day what shall I so I need further precautionsoil spill in axolotl tank help!!!

Be sure to change the water in the small tub daily (or more often if there is waste). If you are sure it was cooking grease (not motor oil), I don't think it should be very toxic. Remove the grease and do some large water changes. Did the grease stain the water, or it's just sitting on top?
