Heater arrived today

Got the new heater today for the big tank. It goes down to 16 degrees so I have set it to 16 degrees for the moment to see how it goes.

All the axolotl's are growing well. I have just noticed that the big babies have their front legs already so will have to be seperated soon as they will start to eat each other if not seperated.



The big axolotl seems really happy in the big tank and was happy to come and be fed with the tweezers from his bowl today. We have decided that we don't like the name Link so it is back to the big axolotl until we can decide on a decent name 😂

Sam is growing well and we like it's name so that is staying. I am thinking that Sam needs to move into the bigger draws as it is getting too big for its current tubs and the draws are bigger.

I am hoping to get a stand for the big tanks so that I can get both tanks setup and Sam will be able to move into the second tank soon but for now the draws will be an upgrade.

I decided to take the 2 babies that I had in the smaller aquarium out again an put them back into a tub as I wanted to make sure that they were ok as they were really hard to see in the aquarium.

I am thinking that I may get a pea puffer fish or maybe a frog in the aquarium instead as the shrimp are pretty boring. Although I may just get rid of the aquarium as I am getting a new bed next week and the aquarium will not fit by the bed any more.

I may also take out the gravel and out some of the babies I the tank without gravel to see how they go then.

I also bought a couple more bigger axolotls that are from the same batch as the big axolotl to go in the big tank as there is plenty of room.

Next week I also want to get some more minnows to go into the big tank as there are only 2 left at the moment and they must be getting stressed as they like to be in groups of at least 8.

I think in this tank they should be able to out run the axolotl too as they have been ok for the past week especially after the driftwood was put into the tank.
