Hello, my name is Asuka and I have gotten a new axolotl a day ago, right now he's a juvy living in a 5 gallon (temporary), today I got a 20 gallon tank which he will be moved to tomorrow.
Now I have tons of questions, not because I do not research on my own but I figure the more opinions and information I get, the better, and some are out of curiosity, because you can never know too much about anything, so sorry for bombarding you guys with questions.
1- In an uncycled 20 gallon tank with a single axolotl, how often would you recommend water changes? (I have been feeding him Mysis, and they get a little messy at times.)
2- What kind of substrate do you recommend and do you think that sand made of Silica is alright? Or bare tank better?
3- How to tell when an axolotl is sick?
4- How do you know when an Axolotl is healthy?
5- How do you feed your frozen foods and lessen the mess?
6- What can house in a 20g other than 1 more axolotl?
7- What are good decorations to use for him to feel safe?
8- How can you sex an axolotl?
9- How can you tell how old he/she is?
10- If injured how quick do they regenerate?
11- Do all axolotls gulp air?
12- How do you manage lighting with axolotls low tolerance for it and with live plants?
13- What plants (species included) are recommended for axolotls?
14- If bare-bottomed, how do you stabilize decoration without the axolotl tossing it down
15- What is a good stable diet if worms and pellets are unavailable?
16- What are the pros and cons of live foods?
17- What are the pros and cons of breeding feeder fish?
18- What is considered normal axolotl behavior?
19- What does healthy axolotl poop look like?
20- How often are teen axolotls fed?
21- When is an axolotl considered an adult?
Lol sorry again for all those questions xD a giant cookie to the one who answers them all o.o
