water level

[ali000]

Hi, I have a 3' tank, should I fill it to the top or not?

Many Thanks

Hi alison
I would fill it up ( 5-10 cm from the top ). The more water you have , the more stable it will be ( temp and parameters ).
Hope this helps.

I agree with seedy - for water quality and stability it is best to have as much water in your tank as possible. If you do not have a lid on your tank, leave some air on top so that your Axolotls can't jump out when they are startled.

I've heard many on this forum state that it's best that your water be as deep as your axolotl is long. Does anyone else have any comment on this? is there enough water in my tank? see videos:

Hi Tom,

I believe that what may have been meant was at least as deep as your axie is long. As Daniel and Seedy have said more water better stability.

Good Luck
