Just wondering... What do people usually use to make tank dividers? What's the best solution possible if no second tank is available?
 
I think you can buy premade tank dividers off the internet ect
 
I got a square of plastic mesh from my local craft store and cut it to size. I held it in place with some large-ish rocks but a determined (love dancing) axie can push it over pretty easily -.-
 
I was sold a condensation board (those large plastic sheets that some people use on top of their tanks to keep them warm and stop the critters inside getting out) for £6 from a local fish shop. I measured the width of my tank from back to front then cut the board to size. It's a tight fit and very hard to knock over because of that fit - also be warned the sides also need a little sanding to get rid of rough bits after cutting but otherwise set-up takes maybe an hour and it costs £6 :)
 
i wanna try and use some kind of breathable cloth mesh and stretch it out and attatch it to pvc pipe. any ideas if that`ll work?
 
If you don't have an other glass aquarium just use a plastic storage bin to house your axolotl, easier to buy then to make a divider.
 
Most retail pet stores will sell mesh tank dividers for pretty cheap. You could always give that a try.

If you fill the PVC pipe with sand, this should help keep it down. Pet D-fense screen at Lowes is a great, strong screen to use. But in the long run, you'll probably come out cheaper with a tank divider from PetSmart, as mentioned above :happy:

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
