G'day from Brisbane, Australia

Hi everyone

I just joined a couple of days ago and have been keeping an eye on the axolotl section ever since. I've been keeping axolotls for the past few months now, well just one axolotl now unfortunately, as one of them died shortly a few weeks after buying him due to him refusing to eat. My first axolotl is yellow and I named him Solo, the second was a speckledy blacky-brown and named Dr Pepper, but then renamed Diet Dr Pepper after his death (due to his lack-of diet being his downfall).

I'm currently setting up a new tank and cycling it as we speak so that I can transfer Solo over to it someday soon. I'm trying to make sure everything is right this time so that I don't have a repeat of the Dr Pepper incident and know that it will be safe to introduce a few more axolotls in the not-too-distant future. I'm sure I'll eventually get around to posting some photos...

Anyway, I thought I'd say hello...

Cheers

Welcome to the forum Jarren! What are the dimensions of the new tank?

The new tank is 90 x 39 x 46cm. I got it off eBay for the incredibly cheap price of $28. It's going to give Solo a whole lot more room to move (he's currently in quite a small tank (roughly 45 x 25cm-ish).
