Okay, so in a few days I'm bringing home my first axolotl. No matter how much research I've done on them I still feel like I'm missing something! So, tell me if I'm missing something: The axolotl I am getting (off kijiji) is an albino GFP axie, who is 6 inches long. The current setup the seller has it in is a 20g tank, no sand just rocks, unsure what type of filter etc and he is feeding it earthworms. I've been originally planning to feed my axie pellets, brine-shrimp, blood worms and earthworms. I'm not sure if I am going to hand feed or cup feed? Can I do both? I was going to add in sand to the tank as I've heard its better for their toes, should I wait to do this or do it right away? Also as I do not have a basement, would the tank be ok just in my room? I live in Canada so I'm worried about the temperature changes. My house is usually 20 degrees Celsius. I'm going to remove all the rocks/pebbles he has them with as they seem slightly small, when should I do this? If I fully change the tank setup right away will it stress my axolotl or is it better to get it over with? Also if I wanted to get a second axolotl to go with this guy in the future, would I have to find one the same size? Thanks
