DO NOT use API quick start as a dechlorinator, it is not a dechlorinator. it is a bacteria booster.
taken from API website "API® QUICK START nitrifying bacteria allows for the instant addition of fish, as it immediately starts the natural aquarium cycle with beneficial bacteria, which converts toxic ammonia into nitrite, then into harmless nitrate to help prevent fish loss in your tank. Best for use when starting a new aquarium, after water changes and filter changes, and when adding new fish to an existing aquarium. API QUICK START nitrifying bacteria may be used in both fresh and saltwater aquariums"
dechlorinator are chemical not biological.

My apologies for the bad information. I thought it was a dechlorinator when I looked up the product. OP, listen to wolfen here - cease and desist using API Quick Start as dechlorinator. ONLY use Seachem Prime as a dechlorinator. Hope your little dude recovers.

API Quick Start is a dechlorinator but not all dechlorinators are created equal. If you do 100%, be mindful to cycle again. I would tub your axolotl for now and use the Seachem Prime to dechlorinate just in case there are undetected toxic metals in your water source. It will need 100% daily water changes.

thank you 2 so much he is finally eating for the first time in 2 weeks, it must have been the chlorine making him not want to. he isn't eating a lot but its still more than he has. (like 10 bloodworms)

Update, he ate a small worm today, wouldn't eat anymore after that, his tail has this wierd membrane sort of thing around it, he is more active than normal water has stayed at about 60f and finished full tub water change

try using methyline blue baths, if the membrane is slime coat it wont harm it, if it is bacterial then methyline blue will help clear it.
