Hey thought id make my first post.
Names Aaron, from Melbourne Australia.
Just got my tank setup and waiting some spare time to pop down to get some sand and some plants along with a couple lil hidey decorations for the axies il be purchasing sometime once i get everything set up and neutral.
I have a 38x25x46cm tank, and from what i ahve been told this is a decent size for a pair of axies.
Question is, as a n00b should i just stick to a same sex community tank for the time being?
How sexually active are axies once mature?
Also i see alot of people with gravel and large pebbles for a base to their tank, yet people say to stay away from these as axies tend to choke on them, or are unable to pass them
(eg please see the picture of "Colin" )
is this "gravel/sand" too big/small?
(so i know what im looking for)
Im thinking of taking the risk out and just getting some sand to keep on the bottom,
Im super excited to get everything up and going..
Also where do most of you guys and gals get your axies from
eg. pet shop, aquarium shop (fish and reptile specialists) or just from other breeders
prices vary so greatly between the 5-6 places i ahve been (ranging from $12 (for anything they have) to well over $45, for just a wild type and over $50 for a axanthic albino (AUD $$)
this place seems to have the answers for everything i would ever need
