Question: What kinda water conditioner is safe for axies?

[Anibanani]

Hiiiii! Im setting up a 75 gallon for my babies, and I was just trying to figure out what the best water conditioner would be to use. Tanks gonna have live plants and a high finned pleco, a few snails also(big enough to not get om nom nommed on). I just wanna make sure that everyone in the tank will be as healthy and happy as possible. I use fresh bottled drinking water for them right now as they are still small, so I havent needed to use the conditioner as of yet. Tank is being put up next week, so any advice will make me mucho happy! -Ani

I think any dechlorinator that is considered safe for fish is probably just fine for axolotls. Just so you know pleco's, and axolotls are not compatible. I would recommend you not put them together, as pleco's are known to attack the slime coat.

I use Prime for my tanks. As carson said please dont put the pleco in with your axies, there have been a few cases that the plecos have done that much damage to the axie that the axie passed away.

Ooooooh thank you so much for letting me know! I would have been so upset if anything would have happened to them!
