Hi everybody,
I’m Marc from Ontario, Canada. After acquiring all the pieces I need for a freshwater aquarium, I changed my mind and decided to get some axolotls instead. I have everything ready to minus substrate, plants etc. I have a 50g tank that’s 36”x18”x18” and I’d like to get three axolotls (I’ve read this should be enough). I plan to get sand up to a couple inches, some low light live plants which I’ll attach to either rocks or driftwood and possibly one or two larger plastic logs the local pet store has. I understand they don’t like much light so I plan to hopefully be able to use a white bulb and a blue bulb together. I don’t want it too bright but I obviously don’t want the plants to die. I have a large filter that was meant for fish but I may use something to block some of the commotion in the water. I also plan to get some smaller air pumps as well.
I guess that would be it. I just want to make sure my plan is ok and that I’m not missing anything. I’m sure I left something out and if so I’ll come back and raise the question.
Thank you all in advance.
