Hi there!
I currently have 2 full grown axolotls in a 55 gallon tank. I recently rescued a baby off of my local marketplace and have been rehabbing her to rehome. The home unfortunately fell through as they realized weren’t ready for the responsibility. Luckily, as this one has grown I can tell she’s a female which are what my other 2 are. She is currently about 4-5inches while my other 2 are roughly 9-11in. How big should she be to safely add to the tank? And what is the safest way to acclimate? Do I need to worry about fights? Separate them temporarily? I remember with my first 2 I had used a divider but with 3 I’m not too confident on the route to take.
I will also be redoing my tank with some slate to add more hiding spots and some extra walking levels/plants etc while I wait for her to grow..
