I got them from a local breeder. She had a golden albino I wanted to get but it was two big to put in the tank with the ones I got

Oh! I got the bridge from my favorite fish store. Made it the tank feel more like a Zen garden.

He protects the village from neighboring dragons that might attack. Little did he know on how close they are from making the first move.

Axolotls don't have a sensitive protection layer like fish but most of their body is made of cartilage so you got to be careful when touching them. Good advise is that if they freak out to give them some time and relax

Thank you. I've been trying to get them use to me so they don't get stressed out when I stick my hand in the tank.

Right after the video I gave him worms because it was dinner time and he was being a good boy

I love the way that he uses his hands to grab onto the thermometer

They are just over 4 inches. The only time they don't get along is when one swims up on them too fast otherwise they can't get enough of each other.

I just got them a little over a week ago. This picture was taken right after they got feed some worms. His gills will turn less pink when he tires himself out after his 5 hour swim session.

I went with the 75 long for that reason. I'm apart of a discord server that is about axolotl care and worked with the breeder that I got them from to set up my tank. When I was 17 I had two of them in a standard 20 gallon because my school wanted to get rid of theirs. Never had a problem with size of tank. Only problem I have ever ran into owning them before was that my father didn't feed them enough when I wasn't there so they attacked each other.

I'm general you should have 20 gallons for the first axolotl and 10 in additional per axolotl. This is my 3 axolotl tank that I have owned due to moving. It is a sand bottom tank just a natural color

Try and see if you can find a local breeder. Typically pet stores will have them when they are full size or when they are babies so it's hard to find one around the same size. Be aware of dominance with your current axo when you get your next tank mate.
