Hi!

I'm new to this site so have no idea what I'm doing but I have a question I'm wondering if you could please answer!

I have a 3ft / 163L / 43 gallon tank - 91cm x 38cm x 47cm (36 inches x 15 inches x 18.5 inches) which has a second level 33cm x 38cm (13inches x 15 inches) as it's made for turtles. Just wondering how many adult axolotls would fit in the tank and if that extra floor space makes any difference to that number?

Note: I have a canister filter running with it that filters 2000L/h.


Thanks! :happy:
 
You could fit up to 4 axolotls in there! Make sure the water level is a couple of inches above the shelf so they can be completely submerged while in there. My current axolotl tank is an old turtle tank, a little smaller than yours, but I have removed the shelf as it was way too big to work with the axies.
I'd love to see a pic once it's all set up!
 
Thanks, Hayley! That's good to know! :happy:
I have thrown some things in the tank from our old tanks just to give the axolotls places to hide and explore, but nothing has been chosen specifically to decorate the tank yet! Photo attached. :D

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
