Hi, I currently have a 3 by 1 by 1 foot aquarium with one 7 inch leucistic axolotl from an old tank in there. I was wondering if I could fit two more axolotls in there. The tank is cycling at the moment so it will be a couple of weeks until I get them. Any help would be grealy appreciated.

Axolotls are illegal in California. Please read this thread for detailed information and links to the actual laws: https://www.caudata.org/threads/axolotls-are-illegal-in-california-here-are-the-relevant-laws.30779/

Hi,
For juveniles this should be fine but the bare minimum (In my opinion) is 3long 2wide 2high for adults.
My tank is 3long 2wide 3high with 3 juveniles in but im selling my 2ft tank soon and by time they are adults i will have a 5ft and will probably sell or move the 3ft.

Tank size help
Does anybody have any opinions on how many axolotls I could get in my 36 by 12 by 12 inch aquarium
. I already have a white 7 inch leucistic in there and the tank is currently cycling. I have a fluval u3 and plenty of hiding areas if that helps. I did have a golden albino axolotl who was about 9 inches long, but unfortuantely she died while I was on holiday :sad:. So I want to find a friend/s for my leucistic male. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Tank size help
You MAY be able to squeeze 3 adults in there if they're small, but I wouldn't put more than 2.

I believe the rule is 10 gallons per axolotl. Just wanted to add that, cause it seemed helpful to me.

2 Axolotls would be appropriate for a tank that size.
