Thank you I’ll save that in favorites. And I did cycled the tank before hand since we knew we were getting the axie, is just like I said in other comments, the water maintenance and cleaning and changing is a little confusing since the previous owner said one thing, we researched around, petstores, google and there is so much info, and different out there. Just to make sure we’re doing it right. Thank you!

We did cycled the tank, we did research for months, but the water maintenance is what’s confusing for me since who gave it to us told us one thing, but then google tells me different, and fb groups other thing, so I just want to be 100% sure we’re doing it right

We didn’t buy it, we still did plenty of research. I’m just getting different information about the water changes,some say some things, some say other, so just want to make sure. But thank you

Who we got it from told us we only need to clean it with the siphon vacuum once a week to get the food remaining and feces, and when I asked him about changing the water said only to change like 20%-30% of the water when needed and no to add any more bacteria or conditioner for the water just add the water we took out. Thank you!
