So i consider myself a fairly experienced aquarium keeper, i've had many different tanks over my life from saltwater reef's to Tropical to cool water and am currently maintaining a couple large goldfish tanks. So i understand how to cycle a tank, do water changes, deal with Nitrates and Ammonia spikes & Maintain temperatures....I've also done a few Sand substrate tanks, so i understand that anaerobic pockets can can develop and how to deal with that....
Everything i've read has seemed to indicate that keeping a Axolotl is a lot like keeping Goldfish, neither have eyelids, While goldfish are omnivorous they still enjoy bloodworms, same basic temperature requirements
But, what am i missing, what do i need to know about Axolotl that differentiates them from Goldfish?
ETA: I'm not suggesting i'm going to keep them together(My RedTop Oranda & BlackMoor would swollow an Axololt whole, not to mention my single Common), i have an empty 29 gallon i'd like to keep ONE axolotl in by itself

- Lower Current Filtration needed for Axolotl
- Axolotl's are Carnivores
- Axolotl's need 'hides'
