Hello
I bought my first Axolotls yesterday (after spotting them in a pet shop on my way to buy a new good fish)
The pet shop owner doesn't seem to have given me the best advice after reading around about them.
I removed all gravel as I read its harmful and plan to use sand instead.
He told me my tank would be big enough however it's around 19 litres which is way too small as he will get bigger fast!
I have read about people testing the water for ammonia, but do I need to do this with a filter and 1/4 water change every week?
I really would love any help from anyone - advice etc I do love the little thing it's amazing! The guy also told me they love same as goldfish but after reading can see this is wrong!
Also mine appears to have no eyes! I'll upload some pics,
Thank you
