Hello,
I am verry intrested in keeping a axolotl i did plenty of research and am stil to add to my knoledge to keep the animal in a good spot.
So what i know already and then i wil tell you what info please correct me and give me extra info i might miss a few things on accident.
1 adult axolotl can be kept in a 10 gallon tank but ofc bigger is always better 20 gallon would be great.
they love earthworms,bloodworms,etc pellets are also a decent option.
no gravel nothing smaller then their head unless its a good fine sand.
don't panick to quick on desease as it might be nothing.
2 hides.
sponge filters seem to be a great option.
there is probably a lot i miss that i do know but now for the help.
Can i get a axolotl and put it in a 13 gallon tank with a sponge filter cycled and conditioned with play sand as bottom and 2 hides non plastic.
i have the one week at my mom then my dad but i can enter the home where my axolotl is any time so i couldn't convice my stehpmom to feed it worms so i bought pellets with proteins and bloodworms wich they can feed i wil do weekly water changes and when i at that place for the week give it the proper diet it needs.
so my biggest concerns wil be...
Can it live on pellets a week? if not i can always jump in and feed it bloodworms or earthworms i wil probably fully record the axolotl's feeding habits.
Is a 13 gallon going to be fine for the one axoltl i know it can't have any tank mates unless its themself but then the tank would need to be bigger.
so thanks in advance sorry if i submitted this thread in the wrong place.
