I'm moving my two juvenile axolotls from their tiny individual tanks to a 40 gallon tank that I'm purchasing used. I have the option to keep to the water and so on of this already cycled tank. My question is-
Do I need to worry about possible disease/parasites/etc. from using the water and dirty filter from a tank that currently houses fish?
Am I better off just starting over with fresh water, the dirty water from the existing small tanks, and Stability (by Seachem)?:confused:

    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.
