Question: Baby Axies

[BunMum23]

Okay, so I got 3 baby axolotls 2 are growing like bad weeds....about 2 inches long and 4 little legs...the 3rd is still under an in and only has 1 front leg...

my question is when will they be big enough to go into a 55gal (currently in a 2.5 gal)

Hello !


Young axolotls are very cannibalistic and I undestand from what you say that one of your 3 animals has its legs regularly bitten off by its tankmates.


So, if I were you, I'd move the 2 bigger animals in a bigger tank (preferably with a lot of hiding places) and let the tiny one in its tank until it has re-grown its legs and start growing normally.
