Is there an index as to how many litres per axolotyl
Looking to buy a new tank and wondering what size I should get
Thanks xx
 
I think the general rule on here would be 1ft or 10 gallon per axolotl and extra space for decorations too. However, the bigger the better in my opinion because they soon outgrow a small tank.
 
In terms of litres it would be 30-40L per axie. In terms of tank size you should buy long rather than deep, but it need to be as deep as you axie is long.

How many axies do you have? For 2 axies I would get a 80L tank (or bigger) at least 2ft wide and 12" deep.
 
I have two, one baby in a 30l and one adult in a 75l but I'm thinking of getting more
 
If it was a basic tank, with nothing in it, then 1 foot by 1 foot would do, but axies need hides and plants ect so really you need a 3 foot tank for two axies and a 4 foot for three axies ect :D

A standard 4 foot tank (that would house three axies) should be about;
48 x 12 x 15 inches

130 x 30 x 38 cm

30 gallons

140 litres

hope this helps!

    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?
