Water question

[remiliuh]

Hi there! im a relatively new axolotl owner, i got my first one 2 months ago. he's doing great so far! i clean his tank at least once a week with a siphon and then refill the tank with filtered water that you can get at some grocery stores (you fill the big plastic jugs with it). usually we get demineralized (with no chlorine or anything) but recently my mom got spring water which does have some minerals in it. I know that axolotls are sensitive to metals, so i was wondering if spring water is ok to put in the tank?

Im not sure if it is ok or not but I would try and find some ro water to put in your tank! I heard that works very well!

Axolotls prefer hard water, which means the spring water will be better for him than demineralized.
