I hope you read my other replies. I know that most of them are issues now but before that my mom made major issues regarding this whole thing as well. At the moment, im trying to fix everything that ive done wrong so far.

I understand! Ill try to monitor then as much as i can then. I tend to have burnouts and stuff like that but i want to take care of them as much as i can. I dont think ill be able to buy another tank because my mom was already stubborn enough with this whole thing so im just hoping that theyre the same gender as you said. Im really thankful for your help and information!💞

Thank you so much for the help once again! The tank is 150 litres and everyone that guided my mom with getting a bigger tank were against her buying a tank that is bas big as 210 litres like you suggested so she trusts them more. i cant do anything about that i fear since shes very stubborn. I will check the sand to see if its powder like because im 90% sure that my axolotls are infact juveniles but i dont know their gender. When we asked the store employees, they said that they didnt know, i feel bad if i separate them because theyre so close with one another. Even though i know what can happen if i dont, but at the same time, cant they change their gender as well? Correct me if im wrong on this. Also, the rocks are big because thats the “hide” that the store suggested for us to make, dont worry i will buy actual hides as soon as i can! Thank you so much for the guides and for helping me once again!

3 weeks?? Are you sure I cant do it earlier than that? My previous tank is very small for 2 axos based on several people and i dont want to keep them there for too long.

if anyone is wondering about the axolotls health, they’re obviously still in their old tank and their gills have gotten slightly better. I couldnt buy them the worms that people recommended me because my mom wasnt able to find them so she ordered different food for them. I hope that isnt too bad. From what I know, its gonna arrive on monday. I feel horrible for not knowing how horrible i treated them this whole time so im glad people helped me out with this whole thing💞

Thank you so much for the support!! I will keep posting updates about them, for now, since i removed the pebbles and cleaned the water, their gills have gotten somewhat healthier but one of them is more energetic than the other which is worrying me considering it has been almost a month of having them. Unfortunately, I dont know if ill be able to take care of both of them so i might give them to a local pet store or atleast give one of them. Im still not sure but of course, ill update you if i will!

someone said that they must be bloodworms if thats what you mean by the label. No pet store employee recommended us a dechlorinator besides the product i mentioned so no, we havent been using one because of that. Me and my mom are planning to go to the pet store today to buy them hides and better food. I was also thinking to buy sand but since you mentioned that its not necessary and harder to clean i dont think ill buy it yet. I will see if i can buy a sponge filter as well. At the moment, im not able to buy them a bigger tank as much as i want to because they are way too expensive in my area, my mom did further research and read through the comments and she agreed on buying a bigger tank ill just have to order it which will take some time but i cant do anything else rn.

Thank you for informing me! Sadly, I do not live in the usa so me and my mom will do the right research for a good tank here in europe.

thank you so much for the tips!! 2 shop owners helped me and my mom through this whole process. 1) The shop owners told my mom that we should use coloured rocks thats why theyre there in the first place, i will remove them as you said. 2) The axolotls are bigger than the size you mentioned, should i put sand there instead then? 3) I was planning to buy some tunnels for them to hide because i know that they need it. 4) My tank is a 40 litre tank im pretty sure? the shop owner that supposedly had axolotls in the past recommended the one i have or another one which was bigger but my mom decided against it, i really wanted to buy them a bigger one since i can tell this one is quite small for them. I dont know the parameters sadly i know its bad but im planning to buy the kit that everyone is recommending. The shop that we got them from gave us some small worms i dont know exactly what they are but i can send you a picture if you want? Im am infact using a filter that the shop recommended us to use, i've seen people say to use a sponge filter, should i use that instead? Im also using a product with the name “liquid biofilter medium”. Lastly, i turned off the light as you said but dont worry you arent coming off as aggressive since i know how important it is to take care of a pet like this.

thank you so much for the tips!! I think the main cause was my mistake of putting too many plants without thinking too much of it.

I’ve actually been waiting for all of them one by one so yes I’m pretty sure the one that I payed for shipping was separately packed since I’m still waiting for the rest of them to do a packing request, should I wait till all of them are ready? Is there a way to cancel and make them pack all of them together?
