Hello,
I have 2 axolotls that Ive been hand raising since about 2 inches, initially in tupperware, but have sense 4 inches been transitioned to a 10 gallon tank, I recently purchased a 20 gallon tanks, however, and I was initially planning to wait until they out grew thier current tank but I found a good deal and figured i might as well transition them now. The only issue is I'm not to certain how transitioning between tanks should go? I have only one filter, an aqua clear 10-30 gallon filter that I always figured I would just use for the new aquarium but Im not sure how I would do that? Would I have to put the lotls in tupperware for the time it would take the water to adjust to the bacteria levels it needs or does that not matter since the filters already got its good bacteria in it? I have some quick start that I use regularly when I change out the water after feedings would that be okay to just put them in the new tank right away? Also I was wondering what I should put in the tank itself. Im planning to put all of the things I have in the old tank in, but I think that there are probably better hides that I can put into the tank since it will be bigger now.
