Tank too big for tiny axolotl?

[ThePapken]

I just got my axolotl today and I have a 75 gallon tank, cycled and near perfect parameters (ph is a little high). However i intended on getting at least a 5 inch axolotl. What I got was a barely 3 inch juvenile and I’m wondering if this is too large a tank for it. It seems to be doing fine as is but will the tank size be a problem at all?

That is quite a big tank but it should be ok as long as you have hides and ornaments and stuff, you could get a second axolotl too.

You could fill it halfway, so it isn‘t so deep!

Already filled all the way. Is this going to be necessary or just a recommendation?

Just a suggestion, not at all necessary! When mine was in such a tall tank, I kept it all the way filled for the filters, but put some tall, wide leaved plants in there and he always sat on the tallest leaves to be closer to the surface. You could even try one of those axolotl corner hammocks

Oh my goodness the hammock is such a good idea thank you!!
