HI everyone,
My names john and I hail from Cheshire in the united kingdom. I'm not only new to the site but to Axolotls. I wanted have kept tropical fish for a number of years and when I decided to set up a new tank I wanted something a little amazing and that is when I fell head over heals for axolotls.
And on that day is when the problems started and why I am here now.
I like to think that I know what I am doing when it comes that fish, but I am so paranoid about keeping these amazing creatures in the wrong way.
So I implore you people of caudata.org HELP ME.
I've treated the water and set up the substrate, larger the pea size gravel with a java fern and hides both store bought and home made. (home made using an aquatic specific silicon). But the temperature moves from 18 degrees up to about 20.8 (I bought a digital thermometer just to check the temperature excactly) The tank is about 60l (2ft long by a ft deep) I use a fluval U1 filter and am trying to secure of spray bar but am having some tubing issues.
So how do I keep a tank cool without using the "Ice bottle trick" and on a budget? Is my tank big enough for two axolotls?
I really want to get this right and give them the best quality of life. I've looked into fans I've even come up with 3 versions of a home made cooler that should work... But I thought I'd come to the experts first.
To point out my obsession I am even working on a way of safely taking under water snaps of my new axolotls.
Any answers are welcome.
And happy Christmas and a very merry new year to all.
