I effed up royally. Last night I did a ~30% water change in my 30g tank, and forgot to put dechlorinater in the water (it sat for ~3hrs, but not long enough). My axolotl was acting strange, and I realized about 30min later. I added the correct amount of dechlorinater, and then some extra because I was worried. I did some googling and got the impression that I should be ok.
I got up this morning and my axolotl had those dreaded curled gills. I moved him to a 10g plastic tote with 100% fresh dechlorinated water. He's looking even worse!
I tested the water in my tank and it's still negative for ammonia. I did notice that the pH had change, likely from my overuse of conditioner last night.
I don't know what to do! It's not ammonia stress, and the chlorine is gone, but he looks horrible! Please help. I'm desperate.
