I’ve been researching axolotl for about 4-5 months now and I’m confident I know a lot about the care they need.
The question I have is on cycling the tank, I get how it all works.
But I was wondering is it better to ask a local pet shop to keep a filter in a tank for you, or start the cycle your self.
I’ve talked to different axolotl breeders and have had a lot of different feed back.
Also I saw someone use a bath mat in there axolotl tank and hadn’t thought of this, it seems like a really good idea.
As long as I get one without holes and clean it it should be safe for an axolotl.
I also saw something on here about moss balls and wanted to know what people thoughts on them where. I probably won’t end up getting one but wanted to know if they are helpful.
