Hexagon tank question

[mcrudd]

I recently lost my fish due to stres of a house moving. I am very sad and don't want to get the same kind of fish. I thought of getting two axotls. I was wondering if my current tank would be good enough, its a 57 litre hexagon tank, here is a pic of it

It has a filter and the polestyrine at the bottom with a black bottom too. Its just that its higher than wider. Do you suggest I use it or get a wider tank? Thanks for taking the time to answer this for me

Although wider is always better, you could probably get away with keeping ONE axolotl in there but even that would be cramped I think.

You weren't planning on using that gravel were you?

Hiya
I agree i think it would be a lil cramped in there.
I think it'd be best to invest in a bigger tank.
Also Axolotls are very addictive and you'll probably end up wanting more than one!!

Thanks all In that case I will give my Bristlenose Plecs another go. My heart is just so broken, did not really wanted a similar looking fish. But I can't afford a bigger tank now

I praise you for gathering the correct information before purchase!

Keep an eye out for second hand fish tanks.
You can keep one axolotl in a 2 foot tank. You may be able to find one thats not too expensive!

Thanks Mike, I always do research before, I know just about everything of Bristlenoses and was so sad when mine died after only being about a year old.
Mel I might consider that, I have always been facinated by these little fellows
Justin if my tank was good enough then I would have replaced the gravel with stones, cause i read up that the little guys tend to eat it and then it blocks their guts.
