Question: Tea baths and such

[AmandaTheXolotl]

Hello everyone. I'm just curious, what are some herbal or even "homeopathic" things you can do for your axolotl? If they're not sick or anything, can you do stuff for them that could be beneficial? How do I pamper my babies? Thanks in advance.

If an axie isn't sick it doesn't need treating....

Having said that many people use a water conditioner with aloe vera to help with their slime coat, but others find it contributes to fungus.

Melafix and Pimafix are 'natural' remedies for bacterial and fungus infections respectively, but they are for treatment rather than preventative measures.

Tea baths are used for soothing sore skin following minor injuries and scrapes, of after a spell in bad water (e.g. for a rescued axie)
