Is this good for an Axolotl tank?

[JaredS5]

Hello Caudata folks! My Leucistic Axolotl is coming tomorrow, and I just want to make sure this tank is fit for one.. He's 4 inches btw

I DIDN'T GET ANY DECORATIONS OR SMALL SHELTERS YET, SO HOLD YOUR HORSES! IM PLANNING TO GET THEM TODAY:happy:

Not a good filter... Will create a lot of water flow. Have you checked the temperature and parameters?

I would worry about some of those rocks being a bit sharp. Also is that a 5.5 or a 10 it looks smallish.

I would have a good read of this :- Axolotls - Housing in Captivity

Pebbles like that pose a risk of impaction. The filter isn't really a problem, if there is too much water flow you can DIY block the output with something to reduce the flow of water into the tank.

Have you cycled the tank?

You should get a aquarium thermometer to monitor your water temperature.

Have a thorough read of these articles too:
