I'm afraid most of us will advise you to remove the stones.
Axolotl are mucky little things and the stones will trap and hide a lot of dirt. This will in turn affect your water quality.
Axolotl are not the cleverest of animals,,they gulp in food and unfortunately stones too. This may well lead to impaction. Sand or bare bottom is much safer.
Maybe add some taller plants as well ? My axies like to lurk in them
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.
sorry I am having a hard time trying to upload the pictures- I have them saved on my hard drive... any suggestions-the prompts here are not allowing for downloads that way as far as I can tell. Thanks
