Hello to all the axolotl lovers out there. I am new to this forum and would like some help please. at this moment i am not a lover of axolotls, but as explained in another thread, I bought some fish tanks and when emptying them to remove I discovered hundreds of spawn that turn out to be axolotl. the lady who sold the tanks to me said she could not advise me as it was the x husband who kept them. any how, I put the spawn into a small plastic tank using the water that they were in. I added an air pump and a small box filter(nothing powerfull)as not to suck up the young. a couple of days later I noticed that some had hatched, so I added to the water a lot, and I mean a lot, of daphnia, all different sizes in the hope that the young would find something to eat.
The little tank is not great so I hope today to be able to set up another tank, and I was wondering what would be the best way to do this, should I use gravel? how do I get the water conditions right? as I have no heater in at the moment,would it harm them to be transfered into a tank with a heater? any advise would be great as normally I would do my homework first and then purchase, but as this was like a rescue, and I am lacking the relevant know how, I am hoping you axolotl lovers will help me out. WHO KNOWS, THEY MAY GROW ON ME. cheers all. from myself and the lotllittleones.
