Hi, I have a 33 gallon (L 70cm W 50cm H 35cm) that is currently housing my almost 4 year old male axolotl. I am thinking about getting him a friend or two if the tank will fit it. There are plenty of spaces to hide in the form of pipes and driftwood. Other people have said that I shouldn't house a female with him so I will probably get a male. What are your thoughts? Is my tank big enough for 3 and if not can two males live together on relative harmony? Thanks
 
I was always told for one axolotl they should be in a 20 gallon so for two it would be a 40 gallon and for three it would be 60 gallons. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I wouldn't add three to this 33 gallon just due to over crowding and not enough space maybe more chances for mistaking for food. Although it doesn't meet the minimum of three maybe two could work but in all honesty I would house two in a 40 gallon. Again I'm not an expert with housing axolotls together but when I do I give them the necessary space. I hope this helps. And good luck with getting your axolotl a new roommate!
