Ok, I've recently brought a tank 61cm(2ft) long, 30cm deep and 32cm high which I plan on keeping two Axolotls in. I have black river stones in there at the moment some pvc pipe tunnels and plastic plants. I have next to no previous experience with fish so bear with me. Heres a pic:
And another from the top:
So first off I'm worried that my tank is overcrowded. Do you guys think I should remove the smaller tunnel (the right one) so theres more open area?
The temp is about 23C and yes I know thats not really ideal, but its really hot at the moment so I'm hoping it will come down soon. Ive just done a pH test which came up as 7.4 which is good I'm pretty sure.
Another thing I've been thinking about is will there be enough oxygen in the water for my axies? Would a air-stone do the job? As for food I plan on feeding them mostly chicken hearts as I can get them for free at work. I may also feed them pellets and earthworms for some variety.
And lastly my biggest problem right now is about how to [FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica][FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Cycle my tank. I've seen this mentioned on various forums and I don't really understand how to do this. Anyone have ano good tips or websites for me?
Thanks so much for putting up with all the questions :lol::lol::lol:

Oh yeah one more thing I forgot. How often and how much should I change the water? Thanks
