Tank size for two axies

[rebeccaann]

Hey guys I'm looking into getting another axolotl. Do you think a tank 60cm long 30 wide and 50 tall would be big enough for the two?:happy:

Not in my opinion. The tank needs more length and with than height. Opinions seem to vary but initially I was told a 20 gallon long was the bare Minimum and a 30 gallon long would be best for 2. There is a "general" rule of thumb that says 10 gallons per Axolotl... but it's not great as a tall tank might be 50 gallons and unsuitable for 1 animal of it is a tall hexagonal. Floor Space is more important than gallons. Look for a 30 long. :happy:

As Mac says thats too small
You need a 3 foot for two 90cm.

Which i assume is a 30 long? (my international ignorance is showing again lol)

I have two in a 3 foot 30 us gallon tank which I think is about the minimum really, should have gotten a bigger tank!

Yes, 3 foot long and 30 gallon (or 120 liter and 90cm long) is the minimum for having 2 axolotls; and yet you have to see if the thickness of the glass is the right one, for all the compression of the water too.
