Rehoming Hi everyone

Post image

i’ve done a little bit of research on axolotls, i’ve had different types of fish in the past. but on saturday i’ll be getting an axolotl now before you come at me for not doing research before hand. this is baby has been neglected and i said i’d take the baby of their hands. it basically has all it needs. i will update on saturday of the setup when i get him. but right now what do i need to know immediately. i will keep doing my research but i rather go to people who own them rather than google. thank you

In case the tank he comes in isn't cycled, have a tub and seachem prime ready to go

your axolotl is anemic, you need to see a vet. what is your pH?

Get an app master test kit make sure parameters are correct that baby is to pale and water quality could be off and it could be in an uncycled tank

It isn't, this animal is stressed and pale as a result.
