Tank size?

I have a 24x12x12 inch tank, is this enough to house 2 adult axolotls? If its not, i have a 45L tank that i could probably use. My 2 axies are normally kept in a huge 1440L tank, and the smaller tank is only temporary (2 weeks when im in vanuatu)

I think you could keep them in a 2 footer temporarily, but it wouldn't make a good permenant home. Bigger tanks give you more flexibility in decorations, filters, plants, and a little more leeway in water quality. It takes longer to foul larger bodies of water than smaller.

Good luck and enjoy Vanuatu!

wow 1440 litre tank,thats the tank i dream about having one day"feels my new 350 litre is now a lil puddle lol"yeah the 24x12 i would have thought would not be a great way to go wiv 2 full size adult axies i would think they would get mighty stressed together,and with lack of space, might turn to one of them nibbling the other one.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
