Hey guys.

Not been on here in a while.

So after a tricky break up a few month ago and not being able to take my axolotl with me i recently ggot the news it had died.

My current partner has just asked if we can get some fancy goldfish.. so im trying to cut a deal where she gets her gold fish and i get an axolotl.

Just wanted to refresh my memory on general care.

Id be looking to get a juvenile axie. Keeping in a large plastic tank for a while till i save for a proper aquarium.

Am i right in thinking i need the following to get going..

Tank
Filter (was looking at a hang on style one on amazon)
Suitable substrate and decoration
Dechlorinised or bottled spring water (i live opposite asda so thats no problem)
And obviously the axolotl.

Is there anything ive missed? Can someone mainly refresh me on tank cycling please.

P.s. fish would be in seperate tank.

Cheers

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
