Hey! So I may or may not be moving into a new house soon (not finalized yet). I am very nervous to move my axolotl and his 20 gallon tank. How should I safely move him and his water? I don't want to get rid of too much of his water and potentially mess up my good established tank. What should I do?
Thanks!
 
Hi,
You'll have to move the tank empty but you can keep at least part of the water in one or two jerricans for the transport.
If the tank is well established, the sand, the decor and the filter (if any) are doing most of the good job.

Now the unknown : how different will be the tap water in your new house ?

The tap water will be the same in my new house.. Should I move him into a smaller tank for the moving period (like when I'm getting his tank ready for transport)? I want his stress to be minimal. Ty :)

    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.
