Putting axolotls back together

[Little lotl]

Hi
My axolotls were fighting around a year ago and one of them was badly injured, he had a missing leg and his gills were all lying down. So i separated them, and with some perseverance I managed to get him healthy again, his leg grew back and his gills are lovely and fluffy/ standing up again., he gained a lot of weight and now is a healthy axie. I kept them separated, and now I want to put them back together in the same tank, however I am not sure the best way to do it or if this is the best idea. Any thoughts?

You could try to put a divider in the tank so they are used to seeing eachother

At the moment they have a divider but it's not see through.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

None that you don't probably already know. You should get a transparent divider, as has been suggested. Your tank should definitely be large enough for 2 (20g long minimum), have at least two hiding places (one for each axie) and they should be fed individually instead of a single bowl (if you feed them bloodworms, say) and keep them well fed so they aren't hungry. Theres no a magic solution, they'll either get on or they won't. Its also a little bit of a concern that one has been left in the tank and has probably started to think of it as 'his' territory, which is why the clear divider is a good idea. At the end of the day there's a chance they just won't live together in the tank you have and theres not much you can do about it.
