Hello Everyone!

I came across this community awhile back when researching axolotls and finally decided to become a member.

I'm a huge fan of axolotls and been longing to get one for months. I just don't have the tank space for one yet. I'm from Wisconsin, and aquatic pets aren't too common around here except for your classic goldfish bowl (ugh).

I love aquatic animals. I currently have a 20g community tank, a 15g where I'm raising some molly fry, and a small tank with some african dwarf frogs.

Anyways, just recently I picked up a 40g breeder from my work (I work at a pet store) for a crazy deal ($35!) which I plan to set up to house maybe 2 or 3 axolotls in the future. I'm looking at a Leucistic, a melanoid, and a golden/copper. GFP would be cool as well.

I haven't done much research on the tank setup because I won't be setting it up for months, but I most likely will do sand, live plants (Amazon Swords because I have a bunch of buds from my fish tank), and LOTS of driftwood for hiding spots. I might throw in some pots too because I heard axolotls like that.

Anyways, I'm hope I can be a good addition to the community. I'll try to stick around as I acquire pieces for my tank and I'll update as I put it together.

Hello! I am actress. I live in Washington, USA, and am here to learn about and hopefully get an axolotl.

Welcome to the forum! There is tons of info on axies here.

Yeah, I've been getting a ton of information from here. I spent all morning researching plants that will provide a lot of cover. Pretty much everything on my list was recommended by someone here.
