Hi im new to the forum as you can tell and hope i can get alot of help and advice from everyone on here... Im new but i already need a load of help already.
Firstly i have a 3ft long and 1 and bit ft wide tank and was planning on getting 3 axolotls (very excited )... but will this be ok?
I have some medium sized pebbles for the floor of the tank and got them from a gardening centre, washed them off with a hose and boiled them for 3 hours is this ok?
I have a peice of black pvc pipe and some large rocks for them to hide...
Im thinking of feeding them a range of frozen bloodwrms, frozen brime shrimp and thrawed tubifex worms is this ok or should i be using live food aswell...?
My biggest dilema is with my water iv had the tank set up since the end of april and was a friends previously but when i had the water tested a week ago the parameters were all high... My problem is the person im getting them off of wants me to take them at the weekend (i feel like i have made her wait a a while and feel like im taking the p**s but i dont want to kill them!!! is there anything i can do to so that i can put them in my tank without killing them . Could i cycle the tank with them in there or is this a bad idea... You might think i dont know what im doing but i have done soooooooo much research and you cant really learn without having any experience....
I appreciate any help and advice to make me a great owner please and thank you...
