what are your parameters?
temp?
substrate?
water conditioner?
im genuinely worried for the lives of these animals, i don’t know if they're going to recover or survive without professional care immediately. i think that letting it get this far was also a mistake, but appreciate your bravery in posting about it anyways. i’m frustrated, but not entirely at you, i hope you understand. i’m rambling. oh well. i just feel that these animals should either have a dramatic change in the way they are cared for or should otherwise be surrendered.

i understand that you are worried, the axies were perfect and healthy, but then, randomly, the water turned green after 2-3 days. i now understand why and will prevent this from ever happening again.

That's really cool lol. I would never breed my axolotls, if this happened just with a little slip-up just imagine. It would be a baby axie masacare :C. anyways,,, what type of axolotls do you have?

i used to have three, two rescues and my own bought from a breeder. now i only have the one female, but have ”called dibs on” a male from another breeder so i can eventually raise my own. my two rescues have been rehabbed and rehomed :)

How are they now? To be honest, I agree with axolotl nerd on surrendering them. Did you cycle the tank? I also noticed you never answered your water parameters, what are those at?

hey sorry, it's taken me so long to answer. I am currently traveling overseas, I left my axolotls with a trusted family member. I was unable to check the water parameters before leaving, I did a deep-cleaning, bought a new filter, and they have recovered. They are no longer sick.
