I bit the bullet this morning and bought 2x 2ft tanks as Sam had been hiding all the time in the big tanks so I was unable to feed. I couldn't let this continue as I don't think Sam was happy due to the bigger axolotl always chasing it.
At least with a 2ft tank Sam can be happy in its own tank until the babies get big enough to go in with it.
For the time being I have filled up one of the under bed storage tubs up and have moved Sam into it and have been feeding as much as the axolotl will eat.
The big axolotl is eating really well so will be fine in the big tank.
The java balls and a new big bucket arrived today. The butcher is filled up already with 20l of water and water container so when the new tanks arrive tomorrow I will be able to clean it and fill it up with the water ready to move Sam into it.
I bought a bunch of sponge filters that arrived yesterday as well so I am going to move one of the filters from the big tank into Sam's tank and replace it with a new one. Then Monday or Tuesday I will move one of the twin filters out of the big tank into the other 2ft tank ready for the two new bigger axolotls to arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday.
I also have some bartender's friend and some sponges arriving tomorrow to clean the other big tank out as it is full of water marks and bartender's friend is aparently the best thing to clean them with.
Once it is clean I will then get it set up in the lounge and cycle it ready to move all of the big axolotls I to it in a couple of weeks or so.
I have just got confirmation that the 2 2ft tanks are on their way so Sam will have his new home tomorrow as planned.
