20 with two or tens with one?

I have had to change things around. i have my two juvies (About three inches each) in a twenty gallon high tank. my leucistic is a lot less shy and is more outgoing i guess i would say than my wild colored. and i think that might scare the wild? everytime they get near eachother the wild quickly speeds away. so should i put each of them in seperate ten gals? I have the tanks just laying around. And also, i feed them floating reptile sticks. only the leucistic eats them and blood worms (I use tongs/tweezers to hand feed it), the wild has not eaten a thing! what shouldi do about that? thanks in advance! oh, sorry if this is a bit confusing too.

Maybe just put in a divider until the wild type has settled in a bit more?

Try feeding something wriggly like earthworms. You would have to chop them up with them being juveniles.

The worms from bait shops are usually not fit for consumption by pet fish, although you could ask someone at the store, they might be able to tell you. The ones from outside should be okay so long as you don't use pesticides or anything like that on your garden. Preferably your neighbors won't either. A lot of pet stores sell worms in tubs, that might be a better place to start

Okay thanks, i didnt think pet stores would sell earth worms so i asked about the shop.. i dont use pesticides so i guess i'll just take them from outside. And sorry but i have one last question! Do you think to adult axolotls can live in a home that is 34 3/4" x 16 1/2" x 6 inches?

Only 6 inches high? probably not. The water needs to be as deep as they are long.

Online you can buy earthworms that are only 1" (because they are babies, so they do grow) i use these until my axies are bigger
