Hello. i'll introduce my self first, My name's Adam and i'm new to this Axolotl buisness!! my fiancee has bought me one as a pressie because i've always wanted one. He's called Steve and he is the cutest thing in the world!
But i'm really really worried!!
We got the tank a week before steve went in, and based on what the pet shop have told us, we set the tank up.
We've got gravel as a subtrate, i'm using a Fluval filter that attaches to the inside of the tank, and i've got a couple of live plants in there too.
The pet shop told us to fill the tank and add Aquasafe and Easybalance, then leave the tank for a week for everything to settle in before going and buying an axie.
This is the bit i'm worried about!
He's eaten some gravel allready! i need to swop it for sand or large pebbles.
I hadn't even heard of cycling (other than with bikes!!) so that hassn't been done!!
So i need to swap subtrate and cycle my tank, but whats the best way to do this without upsetting steve?
Do i just need to start again and if so where does steve live while this is going on?
Please please please help me, i really don't want anything to happen to him, i would be heart broken!
