I'm wanting to set up an axolotl tank as I've wanted one for years and now have money to do it. I've done quite a bit of research but a lot of information either varies of just totally contradicts each other. e.g. temperature, sand or pebbles, tanks size ect. so basically I want some advice on setting up for the first time and also if I wanted 3-5 axolotls what sort of tanks size would I need. thanks.
 
You'd need a BIG tank for 5 axies - at least 5ft, 250L. For 3 you'd need a 3ft tank, 150L.

Best place for accurate info is axolotl.org.
 
There was also a HUGE conversation about sand vs pebbles on here... general conclusion? sand "usually" > pebbles...

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
