Can i use rainwater to top up our tank?
 
I do - it depends on the quality of the water and the surface it's coming off. If you're catching it off a roof it may have paints & mouldproofing etc and in a built up area it could also include dust from pollutants. If it's water that's drinkable it'd be fine.
 
When raising axolotls I found they were extremely sensitive to treated tap water so I believe RAIN water is great!! I now have a rain butt, and all is good becausec its there if i need it!

    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.
