Axolotl & Biocube

[Rainy]

Hi,

I'm not too sure where to post this, but i thought this would be the best section...
I was wondering if anyone has ever used the 14g Oceanic BioCube Aquarium for keeping an axolotl? Since the BioCube can used for both freshwater/saltwater aquarium i don't think it would be bad to use. If i am wrong though, please let me know!

I'm sure you could, but I'm not sure if the shape would be ideal for one axolotl. They need enough floor space to move around, and a bio orb might get pretty small when they get older.

The Biocubes are different from the bio orb though, bio orb is quite small and i agree are not suitable for a fully grown axie.. But the Biocubes are square shape... range from 14g-29g at my pet shop i believe. The measurements of the 14.3 gallon that I was speaking of are 15" x 15-1/2" x 17" high.

huh, haven't heard of these at all, I bet you could fit 1 axolotl in there

Ok, awesome!

To be honest, I do not think the axi would be comfortable long term - - considering they can get up to a foot long...15" is not really a lot of walking space

A tank with a larger surface would be much more preferable. Technically you could keep an axolotl in there..but then again you can technically keep them in water trays, it doesn´t mean it´s advisable for the hobbyist. My advice would be to go with as large a tank as you can house with an emphasis on surface space.
