I'm getting my very first axolotl in about 1 week and I'm SO EXCITED!! roud:
He or she (not sure yet) is about 5cm and gold in colour.
I've got the tank so far (65L) and some decorations, and I'm going to the pet store tomorrow to get the rest. I plan on getting sand as substrate, bloodworms as well as some flakes for food, a filter, and some plastic plants. Are there any more essential items I've missed??
As soon as I get all of the stuff I'm going to start cycling the tank - will one week be enough time to do this? If I need more time what should I do with my axolotl while I'm waiting for the tank to cycle? Are there any ways I can speed up the cycling process? How long until my axolotl will grow out of the tank - it's 600mm x 300mm x 390mm? Will I need a new one soon. Sorry I'm quite new to all of this!!
Thanks so much, any help would really be appreciated! :happy:
