I cant find any here in Missiouri, and I am thinking about getting one online, but the shipping is $70.00!!! I can only affored a 29 gallon... I only want one... Will it be happy?

@SuperMac18ROX33 i live in Australia, so i am not sure how easy they are to get a hold of where you are. If you have only one axolotl it will be perfectly happy. axie's can fight, so sometimes it is better just to have the one. if you do decided to get more later, you tank is big enough to do so. My tank is only about 15 gallons, so a 29 gallon one could easily hold 2, or possibly 3 axies. they grow to about 30cm, so dont be fooled by the tiny size you can sometimes buy them as. lol.

@BlueDragonfly1985 Lol I dont have them yet, but I told my boss (I work at a small pet shop, we get many fish selections you wouldnt believe it! XD) And she said that shipping was really pricey, but she would try to get some. Now, I was going to get a 29gallon, and just make it a fish aquarium, but I love Axolotl! So I want to have both, I know it shouldnt be small than their mouth, which fish are best to be with them? That are not exspensive. Lol! Is your color rare? How many babies do they hav

[BlueDragonfly1985]

@SuperMac18ROX33 you can't really keep fish with them, as the small ones will get eaten, and the bigger ones nip at the axolotl's gills, which makes them unable to get oxygen from the water and kills them. if you really want fish in there i would go for something like zebra danios. some will get eaten, but if you make sure your axie is well fed, it should slow down the process. i had some in there and one has survived in there for 6 months. lol.

How much work are they? I love spending most of my time with animals so alot isnt a problom. How much do they usually cost?

[BlueDragonfly1985]

@owlsrule14 If they do get sick a salt bath is the best technique to use.

I find a 50L tank is perfect for one axolotl. They say you can put 2 in a tank that size, but it doesn't really work well as it stresses them and you constantly have to change the water.

They can fight, but there limbs grow back if they lose them which is cool.

They cost about $25. but it depends on the colour and what age you get them.

If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask.
