Question: I need help with my tank...

[kira]

i have a question: what if the axolotls take sand in their mouth when sucking in food? will that harm them, or just go straight through their system?

Don't worry about that. It won't harm them at all. It will either pass through them or be expelled through the gills. It looks really cool when they do that!

Try to avoid Pets Paradise as much as possible, they know nothing about axolotls or how to keep them.
Check out your local pet stores that are family owned or bulky (like Pet City) or aquarium based pet shops.
I live in the same area as you and go to a pet store in Taringa for my axolotls, it's where I buy them and all the things I need for them. If you want I can message you the address and name of the store.

you buy your stuff from taringa? that place is really expensive and they treat their axies really poorly....
