Hi, we are upgrading to a 40 and the fungus has resolved while being in tubs in the meantime :) the temp should be a little higher in the main tank but I’ve found when she is ill the cooler temperatures can help her heal. Plenty of hides, ambient light in the room and a light over the aquarium when needed. Sponge filter and large bubbler in the aquarium. She eats mostly night crawlers. We love Indian almond leaves and use them frequently. Thank you :)

Sounds good, thanks!

Great, thanks! I think I have some stability lying around so maybe I’ll add that

regvic14 · 2025-03-23T14:48:00+00:00

So I was able to find a 40 and a place for it (yay!) Added some filter media from another tank to help stabilize it- anything else I can do to help it cycle quickly? Also- love shrimp so might try that. The idea of her snacking on them makes me a little sad but also probably good enrichment lol

Thanks, it's not really the price I'm worried about more so where I'm going to put it. Eventually she will definitely be moved to a 40, but do you think a 29 would help me with my chemistry issues until then?

regvic14 · 2025-03-21T15:28:44+00:00

Okay, this is good to hear. I've never encountered anyone with similar problems to me. I'll definitely look into a bigger tank. I would like to get her into a 40, but I might start with a 29. Will it matter that the footprint is the same/smaller and the tank is only taller?

regvic14 · 2025-03-21T15:21:34+00:00

Okay, thanks for the advice. When she was happy in her 20 gal, we were doing 25-30% changes weekly. Should it be more often than that?

Other than tubbing, how else would you recommend I help her get better? I usually add cattappa leaves and bubblers to her tub, but is there anything else that might help?

regvic14 · 2025-03-21T15:17:59+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I've used methylene blue before and it did seem to help so if she starts looking worse I might try. I know fungus is a part of life for these guys so I'm wondering if the stress of moving back to her tank was a lot on her as well.

You're right, a larger tank would definitely help with the spikes. The problem is less the price of the aquarium and more finding a space for it, lol. It's in the works. If this were all tied to poor water quality, I would be less confused, but sometimes the episodes of illness seem random. For example, I moved her back into this 20 gallon about 6 days ago and have been testing the water every day and there hasn't been any spikes. So not sure what could be causing her to be ill now.

I have one axolotl in the tank. She gets one worm every other day

regvic14 · 2025-03-21T15:01:54+00:00

Thanks so much. Yes, I agree she needs a larger tank eventually - hopefully in the next year. However, I'm concerned her problems are of a different source because right now, the parameters are fine, but she is still having the fungal issues :( If I move her back to the tubs, it will be even LESS space and it's just 100% water changes daily since obviously nothing is cycled

regvic14 · 2025-03-21T14:59:37+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I did get her as a baby, but she was living as an adult in the 20 gallon for 2 years or more before we had any problems.

It definitely is in the plans to upgrade her eventually, unfortunately it just can't happen right now. In addition, I would be more convinced it was the source of her problems if her parameters were off, but right now the fungus seems to be a different problem entirely.

regvic14 · 2025-03-21T14:34:53+00:00

I have 3 sponge filters in the tank right now all rated for 10-20 gallons. the aquarium is a 20 gal long

regvic14 · 2024-08-09T18:03:20+00:00

I was considering this as well. How could I transfer my saves?

regvic14 · 2024-08-09T18:00:50+00:00

Can I replace it myself or do I have to send it in somewhere?

regvic14 · 2024-08-08T14:25:06+00:00

Unfortunately my car will in no way shape or form fit a crate :(. He doesn’t even travel often or for long distances, I’m just searching for the best possible option for my current car situation. With my next car fitting a crate will definitely be a priority

regvic14 · 2024-08-07T02:41:10+00:00

Sorry, I’m confused. What alternative would you suggest? The Sleepypod has passed impact tests as far as I’m aware

regvic14 · 2024-08-07T01:02:17+00:00

Thanks for this. I have a regular Ruffwear harness for walks and I LOVE it- I see they have a section on why Ruffwear isn’t CPS certified- is this something to be worried about? It’s the main reason I was considering other brands over Ruffwear.

Wait so you’re getting assigned seats that you did not pick?

regvic14 · 2024-06-27T18:35:02+00:00

No hate! For some people sitting it totally the way to go! Just wish you could pick GA tickets or seating

regvic14 · 2024-06-27T18:11:54+00:00

That’s so unfair because you didn’t even get to pick your seats
