I just got a baby axolotl who can’t be more than a couple weeks old. He is only about an inch to an inch and a half long. I was expecting him to be bigger when I got him, and was planning on moving him into an already cycled 10 gallon, but when I saw how small he was, I got a 3.5 to keep him in for the time being without substrate for him to choke on or a strong filter to suck him up. I’ve been doing 50% water changes every 2 days and filling bags with ice to cool the water down since I don’t have a chiller for a tank that small. Is the 50% every two days good enough to keep the tank decently cycled while he grows a little more? There’s a small filter attached to the tank as well. Thank you!
