Question: Two axoltols?

[Tman576]

Hey guys

I already have one axolotl called Gill i love her to bits and just love axoltls in general
Even though i love Gill i think it may be time to get her a friend

so the question is...

I have a 2 foot long by 1/1.5 foot wide tank so do you think it would be ok to have two axolotls in that size tank???

any help will be much appreciated

thanks

Hi T-Man,

I am afraid that tank would be too small for two axolotls. I would have to recommend you invest in a bigger tank. You can still keep the small tank as a quarantine or isolation tank so nothing will go to waste.

Cramming too many axies in a small confined space can result in stress (and hence illness), aggression and cannibalism, water quality issues and definitely welfare issues. I am sure you want your axie 'babies' to be comfy and happy.

Cheers.
