[connorsbala]

WHat is the real absolute minimum for a axolotl,i think its like a 30 litre,right?

They can grow around 12inches long so double that size.

This looks like a good website; http/www.axolotl.org/

What size tanks do you lot keep them in?

 

[severum boy]

I dont keep any, but you are looking at a tank of 30"x15"x15" for one, a bit bigger for a pair.

The best tank to have them in is mine! I so want one!

They often have these in stock at my local Maidenhead Aquatics.. wierd and scary looking things, I certainly won't be purchasing one!

i kept mine in a 66 L with plants they are nocturnal and dont do much during the day and dont like direct sunlight and they eat frozen blood worms they r a very interesting creature to watch

i have been keeping them since i was 12 and i have kept pairs in 60ltrs it really depends on its size but i would say keep an adult on its own in a 60 as a minimum
and as for ur parents letting u keep one they are very very interesting creatures and can be very educational
i mean they can re grow limbs,reproduce in larva form and never change from there lava form
can ya get any kooler than that?
