What age should i separate my babies? :)

[blashnet]

they are 10 weeks, they have been separate for 6 weeks but i am thinking about putting them in a tank together. will they be ok? x

How many Axolotls, how large are they, and what size tank are you putting them in?

 

[blashnet]

2 axolotls
3cm
20l tank

 

[Shizeric]

At that size they should be fine, but they grow quickly and juveniles are especially aggressive. That tank is very small and should not be used for too long.

 

[blashnet]

i understand, what age would you suggest separation?

i am only keeping one axolotl, so i will change the tank as soon as he needs a bigger place! thanks for this help

 

[Shizeric]

If they are separated now...why put them together if you are going to separate them again?

 

[blashnet]

at the moment they are in separate containers, about 1l,
but i have 2 tanks and wonder if i can put 2 axolotls in each. so they all have more space. understand?

They should be fine housed together as long as you keep them well fed.

Good to hear. i will try 2 together. see what happens!
i am very nervous!

I keep mine together in tubs, and seperate them by size.

The mostly get on fine together, although even if well fed you may get a few accidents and injuries.
