So I got my wild type axolotl at a pet store, and I got an Anderson's with it. I had only known about axolotls, and it wasn't clear that Anderson's were an entirely different animal. However, the Anderson's and wild-type axolotls have been housed in the same tank at the pet store for about 6 months, and they never had any problems together.
I can't afford to set up another tank, and they don't really react to each other at all. I could probably call the pet store and ask if I could take the Anderson's back in exchange for another actual axolotl, but they seem right happy together, and I would feel bad about doing that. I read that Anderson's tend to be more aggressive and have a larger tendency to metamorphose, but how much likelier is that to happen? After some research I've gotten about half and half "It's just fine." and "Don't!" I need a clearer answer.
Because I already bought them, and they're used to being tank mates, is it fine to keep them together?
