Hi, My son has an axolotyl and we are both very new to them. His skin is shedding like there is no tomorrow. I have just done a water change and checked the PH. It was rather high in the Acid range and is now about 7.2Ph.
Is the shedding a result of the water? Or is it normal for them to shed every now and then?
Also we have large gravel (pea size) in the tank. Is this ok. I read a few details in the forum and people are suggesting sand. I was led to believe this was a worse substrate because the Axolotyl can swallow and it can get stuck in their stomachs.
Thanks
