Well the new tank is all set up & I love it. I just wish the pet shop guy had told the correct info to start with then I wouldnt have needed to buy a new tank after only 4 months :(.

Ive made a box out of glass to keep my plants in. Its not clear on the pic but there is a mesh over the top of the gravel so they cant eat any or it. I even splashed out & got a new cave which they love. 1 lays on top while the other is inside lol

So what does eveyone think?

What a brilliant idea! Have you thought to having shrimp or guppies in the plant area? A safe haven, and an opportunity for axies to profit from those who are silly enough to escape :p
 
I did think about adding some fish to add a bit more colour to the tank. Not sure if my aliens are big enough to handle them & wouldnt want ther gills getting nipped at.
I have impressed myself with such a simple design & all it is a hand made glass box lol

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!
