Hello!
So for your Axies, you want to give them bloodworms, since you have two watch them while they eat to make sure that they both are eating and getting enough, sometimes they are food territorial and you might have to feed them separately, so like taking your turkey baster and putting the worms infront of one Axie, then do that for the other one as well. The BEST food for an Axie are Earthworms. But ABSOLUTELY DO NOT get them from outside, because if they have come in contact with pesticides they can kill your Axie, you can get them from Amazon or the Store, you want the Nitecrawlers because those are Axies favorite, but they are like children and like switch ups and can be pickey with their food, so switch between Bloodworms and Earthworms.Since they are babies you want to feed them everyday, so they become fat and healthy. Pictures would be great so I can suggest how much. If they are at least 6in. long then feed them a whole cube a day(bloodworms), or as much as they will eat within 30mins. After 30mins remove the food. And probably half an earthworm for each, but if 6in. then a whole earthwworm each. Next Filtration, you want a good low bubble filter, Axies dont like it when their water moves, it can stress them. but before you put in the filter you want to cycle it, Axies CANNOT survive the cycle. What you want to do, is a fishless cycle in another tank since you already have your axies in the tank. What you want to do in a fishless cycle is add in ammonia everyday, so for example fish food, float some in the tank everyday, and do 50% water changes each week, then what you want to do is every week or so go and get your water tested at a pet store (or you can get a water testing kit yourself, but not the papers ones those are unreliable) what you want is 0 ammonia and very low Php and no Nitrites, Nitrates are okay. The cycle takes about 6 weeks to complete,and after the cycle is complete switch that filter to your Axie tank. Since you probably dont have a cycled tank you want to change the water EVERYDAY TO EVERY OTHER DAY, about 25-50%. If you leave your Axies in the tank be careful while you do it, since it is stressful for the moving water, and it is stressful to take them out of their tank everyday to a different tub. You also want a lid on your tank because they are known for jumping out of their tank, Another thing is you MUST keep the temperature between 60 and 65 degrees, or they are most likely going to die. If you can't keep the temperature down get some desk fans to clip on or some aquarium fans until you can get a chiller. Chillers will keep the tank down at your aquariums needed temperature. As for the tank decor, you want fine sand, you can do bare bottom, but as they become adults they will become stressed because they can't grip the bottom of the tank. You want sand because when they eat their mouths are like vacuums and the gravel would just be sucked in and they can't pass gravel, so they would die, but they can pass sand quite easily. Make sure it is aquarium sand or very well washed play sand. Since you have two Axies I would suggest two hides, and some soft or live plants, they LOVE playing in plants. You also, since you have two Axies want a 20 gallon LONG tank, otherwise they will stress.Babies also tend to be carnivorous so watch them to make sure they don t harm each other. If I missed anything please feel free to ask more questions, I'll always be happy to help!
