So I recently got into axolotl and bought one! ( he's waiting to be shipped until tank is ready)
The thing is I got a tank (20g) and a fluval filter.... and put prime in the water! I hear/read it will take like 2-3 weeks or even long to cycle and there something I can do to speed it along or something! I want my little guy! Any advice would be much appreciated! Tips and tricks too!
 
Do you have another tank you can take some water out of?
Or maybe add some leaves or something
 
I don't have another tank.... what type of leaves! I really don't know what I'm trying to create level wise.... like I know the water has to be a certain ph and all these things just don't know how to do it

    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?
