Please post pictures of your tank!!

Aliwoo nice tank Unfortunately the plant in the front left is not a true aquatic plant and will die rather quickly causing water problems. Put it in a pot with some soil and it'll live Its annoying that lfs still sell them as aquatic plants.

thanks , that's the one with the big leaves? if so that's one of the ones i replaced for some more elodea (along with the one behind it)

i know nothing about plants really, something i'm going to have to learn as i do like to have some real plants in there

 

[pookiewn]

Yes that's the one, the green and white one. You could also some hornwort, its really soft and fluffy, my axies love hanging out in it It grows as well as elodea.
I know what you mean about knowing not a lot, I'm redoing my six foot soon as a planted tank, its a massive learning curve. Have a look at the ukaps forums if you want to learn more Be warned, too much reading can fry your brains, lol!

People you NEED plants its more pleasing to the eye and your axolotls will feel more comefortable by being able to hide

I have uploaded some pictures of my tank, its not exactly wow material but my lil baby seems to like it light is on for purpose of pictures. I also would like to point out that the radiator is off and always is!

Here's an updated pic of the big tank ^_^! It now has 7 'lotls... 1 of my juvies got big enough to add. Kitty eyed him/her up and you could see him sigh that the new addition was too big to eat

 

[Tephra]

Changed to black sand. It was quite the hassle, but so worth it. Also added some more plants, and a bunch of floaters.

 

[Alkylhalide]

My tank doesn't look good compared to your guys'!

I just got a bunch of plant clippings and since it was unexpected and I have a bare bottom(Well I have a very thin layer of sand just to give my lotl's some traction) So the plants have no been planted yet. I havent gotten to that part yet. but my two juvies seem to like it in there. It may not be very pretty!

I get my first babies tomorrow and I am SO excited!! I have a 40 gallon breeder. I've tried to set up plenty of hides plus a couple of multi-levels using suction cup shelves. We will see if they like!!!

Hi Tephra- I saw your tank and another had a lower water level than mine- I am planning on leaving top off and adding chiller fan set- dropped water a couple of inches bc I know they can jump. Should I drop more?

 

[Tephra]

I think it should be fine.
I have a lid, so they'd never be able to jump out anyway. I lowered the water level more for the floating plants, so they wouldn't be too close to the lights.

Sorry that I didn't place the pictures just on this site, but I Always have trouble with uploading pics. Perhaps the images are too big? I will try to shrink their file-size later today, or tomorrow.

Anyway, back on topic, what do you guys think of my tank setup? I am thinking about adding black sand aswell, but not sure yet :3

Sorry to just jump in, but could i suggest you at least use some sort of mesh lid?
Axies really do jump and ive heard mine hid the lid a couple of times, i dread to think if it wasnt there and i wasnt in, they would just die on the floor, like a lot of people have experienced on here.
Also if you had a mesh lid, the water level wouldnt really matter, as they couldnt get out

It's a good idea- I have a metal screen I can cut and use for a top- thanks for recommendation!

Taa Daa!!!

Everybody is settling in nicely!!! Can you see baby On top shelf?? ?

 

[Tephra]

I love your shelf idea, very nice

Very cute and awesome tank - I love the suction-cup glass dishes! Where'd you get them from? Just in case you never thought about it, once your guys are bigger those rocks are going to pose a serious threat of being swallowed. Your leucistic is so adorably spotty!

Hey! They are plastic and are made to stick in showers to hold soap, shampoo. I was hoping rocks were big enough- will keep an eye on them- thanks!

Thanks- trying to give a little more floor room- even big guys like them:
