Hello! I am a fairly new axolotl owner. They, I named them Phantom and Olive, are about 4 inches old and a little over 4 months old. I feed them black worms, sometimes with frozen blood worms mixed in. Recently I've been putting a guppy or 2 in and they really seem to enjoy chasing them around the tank. I was wondering what else I could give them asides from Earth worms, they are still a little to small for that, they won't even eat them cut up. I would also appreciate any tips anyone would be willing to give me on tank set ups as they get bigger. Right now I have a 10 gallon and I am planning on putting them in a 40 gal in a few months. I have flat rocks covering about 75% of the bottom and a lot of soft tall leafy plants they like to sit in. They are arranged in 2 small circles surrounding a flat rock, they form small hide outs. I have a filter, and it is isn't on a lot setting and it sprays up and at the side of the glass and trickles down so there isn't to much of a current. The filter doesn't seem to bother them, but I only leave it on for maybe 6 or 8 hours a day. I have a food dish that I only put the worms in, and they know where to get the food and they sit in it an hour or so before I feed them waiting.
Any tips would be really helpful! Thank you!
