Hello everybody, Im Annie, and Im preparing to adopt my very first axolorl, hence why I am here
I have got so far a 90 litre aquarium, water treatments, some stuff to wash his/her toys in (toys as in plants, caves, large pebbles etc, none of which I have got yet because I need to check with experienced people the best things to buy my new friend to be)
Ok, my questions are (for now, lol, I know there'll be more come to mind!)
Will my friend prefer plastic plants with soft leaves/flowers etc, or real plants, or a mixture?
How will I know if the gurrent from the built in internal filter is to strong for him/her?
How cold is too cold?
How warm is too warm?
Will he/she enjoy a nice tasty fresh worm from the garden, or could he/she catch something unpleasant from that?
What is a lovely tasty treat?
What are the very very best things I can feed him/her?
Safe sand or large pebbles for his 'carpet, or, as one site suggested, astro-turf?
I believe these sweet creatures do not like bright light, is it possible to get coloured hoodlights that will be gentle on his/her little eyes and not cause him/her stress or discomfort?
Will he/she be glad of an airiator, and the best place to put it in tank if so?
What should I have in his very own personal first aid box?
Will he be happy on his own, as I heard they can scrap a bit, but I dont want hium to be lonely or bored.
I think thats about it for now, and I really hope you dont mind me asking so many questions in one post, especially my first post! It's just that I believe so strongly in the saying ''First, do no harm!'' I want to give my little friend the very best care I can, cause him/her no stress or misery, and simply ensure that his/her life is the best it can possibly be.
Im really, really sorry if Im being a nuicanse!
Warm regards to all,
Annie
