So he has a name now and its Rocky. I have a lab boxer mix named Apollo after Apollo Creed. So he fits right in!
Hes got an awesome new tank I siliconed river rockes to a tupaware container I turned upsode down. I left the top of the container on to where I could feed him in it and there would be no sand to mix in with his frozen blood worms. Theres an air stone under the rocks in the middle that for him he uses as a launch pad to boost him on top of his house. HE LOVES IT! I have broken slate covering the bottom which I dremmeled all sharp edges off of same with his house. I have sand that fills in the gaps on the floor and a large slate piece for a background everything has been axolotl proofed so he cant get anywhere he shouldn't.
My next project is I want live plants Id like to have a wall of moss on the background slate piece Id like some moss on top of the house and in his front yard. I was thinking java moss or x-mas moss. Any ideas?
it really is, I redecorate every week when I do water changes haha
just make sure you cure it for a full 48 hours
24 hours outside of water and 24 hours inside the water
for it to be tank ready
and also make sure you are using the right silicone that's aquarium friendly
I was pointed in the wrong direction by a home depot employee and got the wrong kind
I built the whole house and was waiting for it to cure when I realized what I used wasn't going to work and that I had to start all over and throw away a lot of river rocks
Guess what? Been there, done that!
I got 100% clear silicone at habitat for humanity... Only to get home and read the fine print on the back: "not for aquarium use"...
Went to lowe's and got this one to replace it
So much for saving money
Figured I cant go wrong since it says "aquarium safe on the front of the package :tongue:
Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation
Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
