New axis transfer to tank

Posted: 04 Feb 2019 08:42 AM PST

Hello, I recently purchased my first axie from a reptile expo. I fell in love with the pets at first sight, but this is my first aquarium pet. I purchased a 20 gal long tank for her, been cycling for 3 days.

What I am worried about is the Tupperware container she is located in. The water is getting a little cloudy, the breeder I purchased from said the water should be fine until the tank is ready, but normal cycling for a new tank is close to 4 weeks from what I read. What can I do in the meantime to make sure my axie is comfortable in her water she came in until my tank is ready? Would starter bacteria help speed up my tank cycling? I have removed 20% of the original water (kept what I removed) and replaced it with the tank water. Will I have to do this often until she can go to the tank or is my worrying unfounded? Trying to give her the best grow and comfort she can have.

Thanks to any help given, I'm worried about my axie!

Introducing Axolotls

Posted: 04 Feb 2019 12:20 AM PST

I have a question about introducing axolotls. I have one adult Axolotl, and one juvenile around 5 inches. They are, obviously, in separate tanks. I know when my juvenile gets bigger I will have to introduce them to my adult Axolotl. My adult is quite "bitey" because it hand feed him, and I have no idea how he will react with another Axolotl. I am terrified I'm going to place the juvenile into the tank and the adult is going to immediate try to bite it, thinking it's food. I was thinking I buy a plastic, clear tank divider and separate the adults tank into one large section and one small section. This way the juvenile can get used to his future tank, and the adult can watch the juvenile through the divider. If he watches him he will realize it's not food, so when he's bigger I can get rid of the tank divider and they will already know each other. Is this a bad idea? Has anyone done something similar? Any advice would be amazing, thank you.

Question about substrate

Posted: 03 Feb 2019 09:29 PM PST

Now I know for axolotl substrates you either go bare or fine sand or large rocks (3" or bigger). However I want to do a planted tank, mainly with anubias, java fern, some moss balls, maybe wisteria, etc...

So initially I was planning on doing just fine sand, but have found some info on using organic potting soil as a base (between 1-3 ") then topping that with the fine sand. Reasoning is this would allow the plants to have a more robust root system and be more resistant to the axies.

For reference I have a 55 gallon tank and am currently planning on starting a fishless cycle by the next weekend and adding the axolotls sometime in late March

Tips on switching to a bigger tank

Posted: 03 Feb 2019 09:10 PM PST

My axolotl is starting to outgrow his tank and I've found a bigger tank that someone is selling online in my city. I've never switched an aquatic animal to a different tank (I'm still pretty new to this).

What are some things to consider regarding how long to let the water cycle through before I can switch him into the bigger tank and what not? Thanks!

Will an Axolotl eat boxelder bugs?

Posted: 03 Feb 2019 09:04 PM PST

I am currently setting up a tank for an axolotl and was thinking maybe I could throw some boxelder bugs into a tank with an axolotl. I find some of these bugs in the house so it would be cheap nutrition for my future pet.

Axolotl in New Environment

Posted: 03 Feb 2019 12:56 PM PST

Hi everyone,

I placed my 2 girlies in a new planted 29g tank. They have been on bare bottoms thier whole lives, fed earth worms and blood worms. 1.5yrs old. One of them is still not understanding that soil is not food. She's also tried to take a few bites out of the plants. Haha! My main concern though... She keeps gulping and spitting, gulping and spitting that soil and it's been about 25min. If she keeps it up another 25min, Im gonna transfer her back into her 20g. A little bit of soil is no big deal... but too much makes me worry.

She's my food junkie (very fat), but I dont want her to ingest too much. Maybe putting a layer of sand over the soil? If so, which kind is best.

More thoughts are welcomed.
