Hi guys! I am going to get my fist axolotl baby in a few days, and I want to make sure I won't do anything wrong, so I have a few questions that my research didn't fully answer.
1 - I have a 20 gallon tank being shipped from another city, and the soonest I can set it up before I bring the baby axie home is a day at most. Does it need longer to cycle?
2 - For the water conditions, some websites have said that a water conditioner is okay, and some have discouraged using it. I was planning on using the Tetra AquaSafe with the stress coat and the dechlorinater all in one. Do you use a preferred water conditioner, or not one at all?
3 - I know that they are carnivorous animals, and are fed live food as babies. When can you start feeding the axolotl frozen food or pellets? I have a source for both, but I want a reliable source for live food to avoid infection. When you start feeding pellets, what kind do you use?
