Please post pictures of your tank!!

I would love to see all of your tanks, dolled up for your happy axies! I know several people have their own threads with their sweet tanks, but maybe the mods can make this one a sticky for us all to referrence? I'm dying to see your creativity and maybe use some ideas for my own 55g tank.

Please and thank you :)
 
Here is my set-up
I am new to this so I am still learning about water changes and pH and all the things.
I havent done any water changes since I got Calypso about 4 months ago. I have added water to her tank only. She is very active and always comes up to the front of the tank when I get close to it.
She swims up to the top when I open the lid and we have a staring contest for the few seconds she hangs there. I have mostly fake plants, but placed 3 real ones in there the last month. I have a moss
ball by my filter, sand substrate and a log for her to hide in. Her tank mates are 4 Dannios and she tries very earnestly to eat them but they are too fast. She came with the filtering and cooling system located on the left of the tank. The tank is 30 gallons.
I will be asking a lot of questions in here~

we would recommend here separating the danios from the axolotl as the danios could very easily nip at your axolotl's gills. you'll find people in aquarium hobbies with mixed views on artificial vs. natural plant set-ups.

keep an eye on both nitrates and ph, water changes are required to remove nitrates and without keeping the kh renewed via fresh water the ph can plummet causing old tank syndrome (where the ph gets to low preventing the breakdown of ammonia)
 
Hey, 250L aquarium, went for paludarium setup for isopods (Dairy cow) in land area. I have a pump under land area surrounded by clay balls and gravel for filtration. Will be home to two female axolotls when cycled, setup 4 days ago.
I also plan to have a colony of gammarus (Freshwater shrimp).

Herobrine and Alex's tank so far. We have some floating minecraft character decors to go in but their 3d printed resin so we are in process of coating them in spray on aquarium safe silicone spray coating and 48hr to ensure good curing time first just in case.

My tank exactly 3 years ago,

Axo4bis.jpg

My tank today.
The plants community has evolved a lot, with Bacopa amplexicaulis and Ceratophyllum demersum dominating the scene.

    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!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
