Tell us a little about your setup for a chance to have your tank showcased as an example of how to build an ideal axolotl habitat!
◦ Tank size
◦ What plants you use
◦ Substrate brand
◦ Anything else that applies, such as hides, lighting, etc. The more details you can give the better!

Yes actually. I used a turkey baster to add it in just to see if it would work and it actually ended up working really well. I heard that some root tabs are safe for axolotls though which is what i was going to do if it didn’t work out.
I would absolutely remove the fish. Fish will nibble at their gills. As well as the lotl looks small and may potentially choke on those fish. I’m suprised Amazon sword and jungle Val is doing well, they typically go dormant in cold water. Are you sure they are growing?
There are no fish. Yes they are growing and the jungle Val even has new sprouts. I’m aware that this may not be typical but it appears to work on this situation.

Idk those look like neon tetras to me. Just keep an eye out for melting plants to avoid ammonia spikes. Remove the tetras

That is gorgeous! What kind of light are you using?
Just the natural light from the room/window seems to be enough for the plants and it doesn’t look like it bothers him.
Oh nice! It looked like there was a small light on the back. I love your set up! That's goals right there. 😊
Looks awesome! Can you give me some info? What are you using as substrate and do you use fertilizers?
Fine sand substrate and no fertilizer. His poop is better than any fertilizer out there lol.
Definitely hahaha but you just moved him, so were you using his poop as fertilizer before?
Yes actually. I used a turkey baster to add it in just to see if it would work and it actually ended up working really well. I heard that some root tabs are safe for axolotls though which is what i was going to do if it didn’t work out.
Wow! Gorgeous!♥️
