Hi, unexpected, but i will be moving and im just getting my new tank up and going, (which my axie is in). The current water readings are:

PH: 7.6
AMMONIA: 0.25/0.50pmm
NITRITE: 0ppm
NITRATE: 0ppm

I know the ammonia is a little high at the moment , but its better than the last tank he was in!

Does anyone know where i can get any big storage containers and what type i can use to transfer water? or am i better keeping him in a small tank until i get the new tank cycled?

Thanks!
 
The bacteria that cycle your tank aren't in the water; they're on the surfaces in the tank. There's no point in transporting any more than a bucket-full of water. And even if you DID take all the water, it would be prohibitively heavy to move.

Just keep him in a small tank with frequent water changes until the big tank cycles.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
