Water Dog Information

[PRW1988]

Hey all, not too sure where to put this. But I'm probably buying a waterdog soon (as in next wednesday), and I was wondering if a sand bottom in a tank is fine for them? I'm moving my 55gallon tank soon and I want something in it to make it look nice. I like waterdogs so I'm planning on getting one (mabye 2, but probably not as I know they fight). My angelfish and plecos are going into a 10gallon tank (temperary) for like a month, lot's of filtration will be on the tank though and they'll be the only ones in it.

But yea, any information on waterdogs would be helpful, but if sands not fine I guess I'll just give them a 10gallon tank alone and keep only 1 with a bare bottom.

I imagine the care of these is very similar to axolotls, in which case sand would be fine .

But I don't know much about them, so your probably best to ask in that forum, and put 'like axolotls' in the title lol.

They look like axolotls and axos come from Mexico I thought, not Iowa.
or do all salamander larvae look like axos?

you could always try running in circle whilst counting sheep lol

 

[Colin_T]

then I would see the same sheep over and over and over and over and over,

blurk, fall down

 

[PRW1988]

anyways... yeah so they're fine on sand bed bottoms then? Does anybody know if they're best kept solitary or in groups?
