can be caused by either too much light, or too little. how long do you keep it on for and how many watts per gallon? i keep mine on for 12 hours and have 2.2 WpG and my banana lillies are doing fine
rats. I was hoping to not have to get a light. i thought axies didnt like them? The tank is next to a window, and a small corner gets sunlight for an hour or two in the morning but no sun directly hits the plants. It is what i would describe as high natural light.
you can get a light that sits on top for about $80 for a 2' tank (double bulb), probably cheaper second hand. Its true axies don't like light, however mine were a bit skittish for about a week and now they rarely hide and are always in the open, sitting in the vallis
I had the same problem with Ziggy too - I found that a small halogen bulb aimed at the plant does the trick. That way, the plant is spread out in front of the light source, and the axie is happily in the dark
Zigs tank is nearly pitch lol - but he'll be moving to a more suitable place next week.
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?
