Have you ever set up a new fish tank and immediately add fish, only to have them die within days? Cycling is preparing your new tank to be able to support fish or as you are asking, axolotls. Try these sites to learn more. Despite the first two being fish related, the cycling process is the same. Please keep researching! It seems like a long process, but it is worth it rather than risk death for your new pet by taking shortcuts. One more thing, buy a good dechlorinator and a test kit that measures pH, nitrite, nitrate, and ammonia levels - a good kit will be invaluable to you.
