Keeping Axies in Totes?

[hannahll]

We have a fast growing axolotl, Ponyo, who is about to outgrow her 10 gallon tank. I'm wondering if as a temporary home, she could live in a tote (with a filter and aeration of course). We just need something bigger until we figure out our aquarium situation. Advice/concerns with this?

Axolotls can live in about anything; as long as the material the container is made of isn't toxic to them.

Many people use Sterolite brand, and I'm currently using Rubbermaid

So most plastic containers aren't toxic, correct?

Most - if it's food grade you can be certain, as some plastic containers can have chemicals such as algaecides added. Look to see if it says it's non-toxic.
