    300 Gallon Newt Pond

    So I guess I should give an update: Not much has changed at all. The hatchlings i last showed grew up and sold out in early 2020. I suffered a fire event in northern california last summer, lost a hundred plus animals due to being half way across the state. I also work in a field impacted by...

    300 Gallon Newt Pond

    So I have been busy working on the larvae and am generally happy with how this year has gone overall. After spending 2 months i the water and quadrupling in size, they're onto land which meant I had to set up temporary terrestrial cages for them. For this I turned to my favorite storage...

    axolotl keepers ! question for you....

    So the film builds up for the same reasons it does in fish tanks. What/how often are you feeding? how often are you doing water changes? The easiest method of getting rid of it is simply to do more water changes. You can also lay a paper towel on the surface of the water or use a cup to pick up...

    Do you have a GH reading on it? Have you considered using an acid to drop the ponds PH in addition to the water changes?
