I have a tank 130cm x 60cm x 90cm high which I have set up with the idea of keeping axolotls. I have filled it to about 30cm deep and planted it. I also have installed a fluval canister filter to a filter bar at the top of the tank so the filtered water runs down one side. I kept axolotls many years ago and thought the tank would be ideal. I have only just found this site and have made a major error of putting gravel in. The guy in the shop said it was OK! As the tank is so deep and requires a step ladder in its position I would find emptying the gravel very difficult. Do you think a layer of sand or slates over the gravel would work or will the gravel come to the top. Has anyone had any experience of this. Otherwise I have to weigh up the difficulty of removing the gravel against the ease of keepinfg fish in the tank instead.
