I’m cycling my tank ready for my first axolotl and wanted to check how I’m doing. The tank is 79cm wide, 30cm front to back, and 35cm high - would that be big enough for 2 or should I stick to one?

I set it up using Stability and Stress Coat (dechlorinated tap water). The parameters I’ve got so far are in the pic below. Is that normal for this stage? Anything else I need to do/should be doing? Thank you for your help; I want to make sure everything is spot on before I bring my new friend(s) home.

    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
