I have posted another thread about what I plan for my axolotl's tank setup to be like but this thread is just questioning the kind of sized tank I'm going to get.
I plan to have a single axolotl (probably juvenile as no where I know is selling adults) and I am very torn between what kind of tank to get. I should be getting him within the next couple of months so I need to get this tank and start cycling right away!
There is an 70x35x40 (cm) 90L (just under 20 gallons)
a 80x35x40 (cm) 112L (24 gallons)
or an 80x45x55 (cm) 120L (26 gallons)
A lot of people have said that both tank sizes are fine, especially for just one axolotl, but I really want to get the one that would benefit my lotl more. Some people have in fact said they are too big, I don't see how (I'd prefer my little guy to be in a big space with plenty of room rather than in a little 50L tank) but it would be great if you guys could enlighten me. I know this size tank is going to look huge compared to just a little juvenile but I'd rather have a tank he grew into and not have to buy a whole new tank when he out grows one.
I am swerving towards the 120L as it's deeper but would this be the right thing to do? What would an axolotl be happier in?
