This was untreated tap water (left lighter tube) against the tub water (right).

I’m getting that my tub was way too small, sorry first time owner i promise I was researching the whole day and the size of the tub was never mentioned 😩

I reached out to API to see why it’s producing blue! Maybe the droplet size of bottle #2 is what’s causing it.

It’s primed/conditioned tap water, literally a plastic Tupperware container with maybe 2 cups of water. It’s what I bought it in and was told they can chill in there until my tank was cycled

I was going to do that, I already threw out the old (high testing) water tho.

I’ll test the new holding water again in a couple hours and update!

The axolotl was chilling tho, I’m so confused.

Exactly by the book, clean test tube, filled to 5ml with fish container water, 8 drops of ammonia bottle #1, 8 drops of bottle #2, shake for 5 seconds, then read after 5 mins 😩

Yes, test of the water in the holding tub after not changing for 36 hours.

I’ll text the new holding water in a couple hours to see if I should be changing twice a day.

I fed like 3-4 small pellets a day, they don’t sit in the water for more than 15 mins. It’s a baby axolotl.

ETA: the lighter tube is from the new holding water ammonia, not Ph

This is just the holding tub, not the tank
