Axolotl:D
New member
Hello, I have gotten a tank and the required additives for the tank to house an axolotl. Although, I currently can't find a setup to make a tank safe for a 2-4-month-old axolotl. To start, I currently have a tank with two Java Ferns and the bottom of the tank as Fluvia volcanic solid substrate. I know that this is not the best for an axolotl, so I attempted to cover it up with sand. Sadly, it was not enough, and unless I'm willing to spend countless dollars attempting to fix this, there is currently nothing I can think of to do. I'm currently not sure if I should take out the water and then all the sand and substrate (wasting around 50$), or should I just completely redo the tank from the start. I have been told young Axolotl can live in a bare tank, but I have some concerns mostly about that. Therefore, I am trying to set up a safe tank for my future Axolotl. Keep in mind if you have suggestions, I am using a 20-gallon tank and am willing to scrap the substrate and sand that was already in there. In addition, if anyone has any other idea of changing the tank to a new setup, I'm all ears. Thanks, Caden.
