Hello, I have my tank cycling as of now, and 3 days ago I picked up my axolotol, and have been him in tupperware for the time being.. I'm just trying to see if there is a way to control the ammonia levels, usually the most its get up to is 0.25.. I do 50%water changes several times through out the day and will change the water completely 2x a day.. I started to add 1 drop of seachem prime to the tupperware, but later when I go to test the ammonia, it still comes out at 0.25.. Is it suppose to still show that there is ammonia even when using the prime? or am I supposed to let the prime sit for a few hrs before putting him back in?

SeaChem Prime does not remove ammonia, but rather binds it temporarily in a non-toxic form. The tests detect total ammonia, whether it's bound or not. You are doing the right things! Definitely continue to treat all of your water and to do the water changes frequently!
