Hi all,
I am a new girl to all this.My two adult kids have just got me a couple of very fat and cute axolotis.
After splitting up with my ex my kids have got me these to give me something to do.
I fell in love at first site with my two new friends but dont know much about them,or how to look after them.
i have been on net trying to find out all,and came across this site.
I have been doing all so far wrong,as i am finding out.
Fact sheet my pet shop where kids got them,is all wrong so i now know.
I set them up in a large tank,but set up so as a gold fish,small gravel etc.
I have got rid of gravel now have large stones and hiding stops,ph is ok as i live in adelaide we tend to have hard water anyway.
I am doing a 20% water change weekly,feeding life and frozen food every second day,cleaning up mess daily.
I have a very large female white and a small not know sex black,i love these things and hope to have them for a very long time so any help or advice will be very well taken.
my tank is 3 ft and is that ok for 2,also the pet shop where they came from has stated to only change 20% water with spring water on a weekly basis,is this correct as seems a dear option for me.
Water temp is between 15 and 20 is that ok for them.
Would love any help anyone can give me,as these two things are now what keeps me going in life.
Thanks all.
Catherine
