Hi guys! I just snagged an Axolotl from my friend who breeds them. So far, I have the little bud in a thirty gallon tank all alone. I don't have any substrate in it, and just some pebbles(large) and some glass cut "rock". I also have a large pot type decoration that my new buddy hides behind a lot. The tank is at 62 degrees Fahrenheit. Too cold, too warm?
I've read that I shouldn't get regular aquarium gravel for the bottom, since they can swallow it and then choke. I don't have access to fine sand, but petco has their own brand of black sand. It's small, but not tiny tiny. Will that be okay as a substrate?
I'm going to be looking for some 'hides' at the LFS, but I'm not sure I'll be able to find any right away. They're pretty barebones with that kind of stuff. So far I've fed a diet of frozen bloodworms and some feeder goldfish. Is this alright? Or should I change it up?
Any advice for this little guy is appreciated!
