Hi,
I've been asked to look after two unwanted axies (nieces no longer interested but they had them for at least a year which is good going for them). They will be arriving in a tank 49cm long x 30 high and 28 deep (not a standard size then). Read on forum the 60cms at least is recommended but will the tank I'm inheriting suffice?
Also, I have 2 planted fish tanks in which I use an underlayer of soil- known as 'el natural' planted tanks. Would a substrate of soil then a layer of sand in a new tank be unsuitable for axolotyls?
Finally, transporting axies? In a large bucket of their existing tank water? Plus I plan on using a filter: the axies have never had filtered tank water will the change in conditions be a shock to their system as I know fish are sensitive to water parameters changing?
Thank you
