Hello! I'm a very new axolotl owner and have a GFP leucistic named Kimchi. (Unaware of gender since it's too early to tell, but let's just assume it's a "he") He is only a few months old and 2 inches in length.
I was considering adding a second axolotl to my tank, but I hear that young axolotls can sometimes have cannibalistic behaviour and I really wouldn't want things to come to that. Even if they don't cannibalize each other, they may attack each other and that is also something I'd want to avoid. My tank is a 20 gallon but it has a bump and staircase attached in its centre which I guess would make it smaller. I'm going to upgrade once Kimchi gets too big for it, and for the possible new axolotl! This new axolotl would be the same age as Kimchi and the same size, but a different variation.
I really would like to have him interact with another axolotl, and I find the species truly intriguing and amazing. Could I do it?
