I've noted the following contradictions from different information sources, and I wondered if you guys had any feedback on the following.
Source one: Fine sand is okay.
Source two: No sand! Ever! This will kill your axolotl.
Source one: Dechlorinate your water!
Source two: Chlorinated water is fine. In fact, leave the chlorine in the water to kill harmful bacteria.
Source one: Food pellets are all you need.
Source two: Feed only fresh or frozen foods.
Source one: If your tank gets too warm, drop an ice bottle in it.
Source two: Do not ever use ice bottles to chill your tank. It will kill the axolotl.
Source one: If you feed your axolotls well, you shouldn't have a problem with cannibalism.
Source two: Until axolotls are six inches long, they are cannibalistic and cannot be housed together. Cannibalism is learned behavior. Any axolotl that has been damaged by cannibalism will be a cannibal the rest of its life.
Source one: You can keep lone axolotls.
Source two: Once axolotls are six inches long, they are social and should be kept at least in pairs.
As someone who is new to axolotl care, I'm a little confused. Thoughts?
