What this sheet is for

Track water quality and temperature for animals that are unusually sensitive to both, with the physical signs recorded alongside.

Who it is for

Axolotl, newt and aquatic amphibian keepers.

How to use it

  1. Record temperature every time; heat is the commonest serious problem.
  2. Test water as you would for fish, and record it here rather than separately.
  3. Note gill and skin condition — they change before behaviour does.
  4. Plan a summer cooling method before summer.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.

Questions

What temperature should an axolotl be kept at?

No figure is printed. The safe range is narrow and species-specific, and warmth is a genuine danger rather than a preference. Get the figure from a specialist source and write it at the top of the sheet.

Which vet should I use?

One with genuine exotics or aquatic experience, found before you need them. The sheet has a line for the practice for exactly that reason.

See water parameters as a trend rather than a single reading, which is the only way to spot a cycle crashing before the stock does.
