I should have added some more info about the tank. It's a 20 gallon with a fluval 105 canister filter on the lowest flow setting until I get my spray bar. The sand was a ridiculous price of $25 but I think well worth it in the long run as it shouldn't harm the axie and it looks amazing. The larger rocks I found on clearance at a Petsmart for $1.50 a bag and I bought two a larger and a smaller size, which are all too large for the axie to swallow, even when she/he grows up.
I'm also adding an azoo double fan to keep the temp down because right now it's been at about 68-71.
I have actually used the moss that was floating to ball around an air stone, but may just let it go back to floating. I noticed the axie loved hanging out in it.
I don't think it was in the best shape when I got it, or when the petstore got it. They said she didn't have a back limb, so she's got this short back leg that's growing in, the petstore had her for three weeks, and I've had her a few days almost a week. She had some white spots which seem to be going away. I've feed her midge larve, blood worms, and small guppies that I raised.
She doesn't have a name yet, I have been going back and forth between calling it her and he, as I'm not quite sure of her sex yet. I'm waiting to figure her out before I name her.
I've waited so long for the day I could own an axie...I finally do.
