Hi Chaps
My first post, new to the group, very much like the idea of getting into the Axolotl hobby.
I was hoping you knowledgeable types can help with some advice for a newby hoping to get into the hobby.
Could you give me some pointers on aquarium setup?
I understand that Axolotls do not like excessive flow/water movement, could I ask, how should I set up my filtration?
I am hoping to house 5 or six specimens in a 65 gal tank using a SunSun HW-302 canister filter (pump duty is rated at 265 GPH), is this flow rate too much?
I was also planning on having a couple of air stones in the tank to give extra aeration, would this be a good idea?
I also understand Axolotls don't do well in higher temps, I'm from Baltimore Maryland so during the hottest part of the summer ambient temp might get to low 80s F. Should I invest in a cooler to maintain lower temps during the hottest part of the year?
Any ideas/advice pointers to care sheets would be gratefully accepted!
TIA
