Hey. I will be getting about 2 axolotls in a couple months and am planning on how to set up their tank. Little help?
 
Hi Whoo, welcome to the forums.

Not sure how much help you need or what kind of questions you have but here is a good place to start: www.axolotl.org. If you still have some questions, come back here and I am sure someone can help you out :)
 
Ummm, that aticle is in spanish or something.:confused:
 
the pictures combined with the information contained on the caudata.org websites and the axolotl.org are a priceless combination...
 
Whats the white plate in the middle of the tank for? Is it still in there after the tank is complete.

You can pour the water directly on the plate so it won't disturb the sand, this method will keep your water clear. Afterwards you can remove it.
 
WoW what a good idea. Can I still do that when I do a the 20% water change when its needed?
 
yes, the stream of water will remain bundled until it hits the bottom, even when it is full of water (this depends on the height of the waterlevel of course).

This is also a reason why I place some flagstones on the bottom of some of my tanks, it provides a place to pour water on, plus it creates a place for newts to breed and exchange spermatophors.
 
Does anyone still have a copy of the dutch article quoted above?
