NT Labs AxoStart Bacteria 100ml

NT Labs AxoStart Bacteria is an axolotl-specific filter bacteria treatment that helps break down harmful waste and supports biological filtration, so your tank stays clean and stable. This 100 ml bottle suits axolotl keepers setting up a new tank or looking after an established one.
