Darkx to your knowledge was the tank cycled before putting your axolotl in?
 
Yes, for Um few days
Cycling can take weeks. I would recommend obtaining a test kit ASAP and consider tubbing the axolotl for now until you can be sure the tank is cycled. It's important to build up a culture of beneficial bacteria that can convert the harmful ammonia into nitrites and then into nitrates up to the amount that an axolotl will produce as ammonia exposure can have harmful effects on your animal.
 
Darkx, your tank isn't cycled which means even though your axolotl looks healthy now it can become quite ill as the chemicals in the tank water become toxic.
you will need to put your axolotl in a tub of water whilst the tank is cycling.
you will also need help from your parents as you will need to use chemicals to cycle the tank and to test the tank water.
you will also have to make sure you have a good dechlorinator to remove any chlorine in the tap water before using it for your axolotl.

Ok
 
And PLEASE get help from your parents! Can't stress that enough. Like it or not, as you are a kid, it is technically their pet. If your parents refuse involvement, then they are not giving adequate care to the pet.
Okkkkkkk My Mom and Dad littraly just like the cuteness dats all
 
They might be cute but they are definitely living, breathing animals that require adequate care and attention just like you and me.

strongly agree with this. parents definitely should have done more research before getting a pet like this
 
Sadly, a lot of people get bad information from pet stores and assume the pet store employee knows what they're talking about. I'm sure your dad can also help you with tubbing and proper cycling of the tank in the meanwhile. Your little guy is pretty cute!

  • Katia Del Rio-Tsonis:
    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
