I'm new to axolotls and this fantastic community, I was just wondering is it okay for me to have a led bubble wall in my tank with my two axies ?
Also I have a weather loach in with them has been for around three weeks (my boyfriend wanted one ) are they okay to have a tank mate as I have seen several diffrent answers.
I've attached some pics of my set up and axle and Deborah

I have an air stone in both my axolotl tanks. I have also read of several people who say that their axis enjoy playing in the bubbles. I'm not so sure about the LED, as I'm aware that axies are not keen on lights, but you may want to wait for a more experienced owner to give you more information on that.
As for mixing species in a tank, the general rule is a big "no" I'm afraid. Have a look at the attached links.

I hope that this helps and that you are enjoying your axolotls. :happy:
