Axolotls are illegal in California. Please read this thread for detailed information and links to the actual laws: https://www.caudata.org/threads/axolotls-are-illegal-in-california-here-are-the-relevant-laws.30779/

Roy - Sand will get sucked up into an under gravel filter and clog it and just ruin it. Either a canister filter or an overhang filter is best. Both can be tuned to have low water flow, as axolotls can stress under fast water currents.
I would suggest getting sand, as pebbles can get eaten by axolotls. I think it is Hyley on this site who has had an axolotl for two years(?) and she said she is still finding that her axolotl is passing gravel! I hope I got that right. Her axolotl came from a petstore where they kept her axie in with gravel, so this is why it is passing gravel.
I have no idea how much a tank would cost where you are at. I agree with Joan, don't listen to the advise of pet shops. People here, and this website offer far better advise than any pet shop ever will, unless the pet shops start following the advise here at the site lol.
I have 6 axolotls, and a four foot tank. That is just big enough for the six. If I got one more, I would have to get a bigger tank, or use one of my other tanks, which I don't think that is ever going to happen.
Good luck to you

1 - Where are you from? because if I don't know where you're from then I can't tell you what prices tanks are....
2 - The size tank you have now is adequate for a baby axolotl being about 10cm long
3 - Axolotls grow rapidly and mature after about 1 year, how old do you think your axolotls is now?
4 - You could try making your own tank. That's what I'm doing. It's a fun project.

Rory,
Contrary to the information provided to you that axolotls can be stunted this is untrue. Axolotls(and for that fact fish) do not as is commonly believed grow to the size of thier enviroment. They continue to grow throughout their lives and growth only really slows down after sexual maturity is reached. Growth can be slowed by restricting food intake but again growth is only slowed.

hmmm australia..over here in nz i can get a plain glass tank that's about 60cm long for $50 so i'm hoping about the same in aussie or cheaper or again you could just make your own. were you looking for just a plain glass tank? or one with a roof and fitted lighting etc?
an adequate size tank for a single fully grown axolotl is one that is 50 to 60 cm long. i'm just assuming that you've read around on the www.axolotl.org FAQs and stuff? it give pretty good ideas on what to do for your axol.
just going to pet stores you'll be able to find plain glass tanks and a cheap filter and some sand...that'll do you fine. I made a thread on how much it'd cost to set up a tank from scratch and a girl here called sharn said around the 150 mark so yeah you could make quite a nice little house for it just a matter of looking around.
I'm sure you are capable of using all the high tech stuff
ok i think all i've said will be of some help?

Rory, in the future try to be more polite, after all, you wanted help in the first place. What you said was very rude and not mature. We still would like to know how big of a tank you have bought.

If you want a tank big enough for 2 or 3 axolotls, go with a 3 foot tank. They're not that much more money.
On another note, $100 for a used tank is outrageous. I really doubt you'll sell it for that. Good luck!

a 3 ft tank is enough room for 2 axies, thats what i have at the moment. 2 ft is enough for one adult axie. i think you will be able to get more than 10 dollers, possible about 20-30. i think you should get male male. but thats just my opinion.
