Hello,
I recently got 2 Axolotls for my birthday.
It was a surprise, I was cycling my tank ready for fish!
Anyway, a friend of mine has an axie and thinks my tank is the wrong type to keep them both in.
I have a 35 ltr tank, its one of the round ones and is taller than it is wide (13 inches diameter and 18 inches tall).
He thinks the water is too deep (16 inches deep / 3 inches from the lid) as well as the tank being not wide enough.
I have a large silk plant in there which covers the back of the tank from top to bottom.
I also have an ornamental platform which looks like a base of a tree and roots so they can nip in and out ad well as a flat top some 5 inches from the surface.
My Golden albino one likes swimming to the front of the tank especially if i'm stood there with a pot of worms!
I also have a black one who prefers to lurk at the back of the tank behind the leaves.
I've seen them zip about a couple of times, usually when i accidently knock the ornamental vine thingy, they will generally do a few laps and then settle down again.
The seem happy enough, should i be getting a more suitable tank?
