Hello!
I've just joined!
And I have my first axy set up here in my room! I've researched them madly on the internet and fell in love with them after giving one a salt bath at college!
Well he's been her since Sunday and seems to be getting settled!
He had his first meal today (crushed mussel). I did try offering blood worm but he wasn't remotely interested!!
Ok so I'm checking the tank water every day ( API aquarium strios- measures PH, Nitrate,Nitrite,Carbonate and general hardness)
My filter is doing well, he's not in a tiny tank and I plan to upgrade him but I didn't want to frighten him right away once I got him.
I've got 3 real plants in, and one fake.......... and a few large rocks! He's got plenty of space to hide etc!
I'm putting a lot of effort in to making sure he's happy!
I've noticed he has a nick in his tail ( doesn't look major at all and doesn't seem to be bothering him)
I just need advice really, I don't know amazing amounts about them and get conflicting advice from the net
Its no good asking the shop where I got him, as I seem to know more then they do!!!
Any good ideas on keeping the tank cool?
He's currently on sand as a substrate, but how do I easily clean the bottom?
also why do you need to fridge axy's?
I'm confused! and just want my guy to be happy!!
