I have a 3 inch albino. I purchased a 20g(long)
I Have a 10 gallon gravel filter, a hanging 10-15 whisper filter, and two 5 gallon filters. I have inside of it, a castle and I used black stones that are very smooth. This a good set up?
 
Welcome Justin - That sounds like a lot of filter for one 3 inch axolotl.

Axolotls do not do well with a lot of current in the tank, it stresses them badly.

Take a look at:
http://www.axolotl.org/housing.htm

Did you cycle your tank before you added the axolotl?
 
I havn't introduced the axie yet. Shes still in the 10 gallon. I'm letting the water cycle a bit. No big currents though. the two turtle filters barely produce kind of current. The hanging one does, but not big. Its a 20 gallon tank with a bunch of weak filters. but overall its pretty calm in there
 
i put my young axolotl [7cm] in the water that deep about 30cm.and i decided not to use cycling just only filter[chang water every 2 week] is it ok [i haven't done it yet] and please show me the picture of filter that is not expensive but fine [my tank is 13 gallon long 80cm wide40cm tall40cm
 
If you choose not to cycle the tank, you'll need to change the water on a daily or every other day basis. Cycling the tank allows you to change the water once a week or so.
 
what do you used for cleaning the tank when it is dirty because where the water sit there comes a white stan around the tank.
 
i just use one of them magnet cleaners
 
Will a under gravel filter be enough? Thanks

    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?
