[@LMat_MX]

Sir I have a question:So can you keep 2 axolotls in a 20 gallon? In my country we keep 2 axolotls in a 20 gallon is that okay?

[@paulstingray]

We would not recommend that over here for adults. We give them more room.

[@LMat_MX]

@@paulstingray thank you! Will a 40 gallon work for 2 axolotls?

[@paulstingray]

@The_real_LMat With good filtration it will be fine if the axolotls are compatible with each other.

[@LMat_MX]

@@paulstingray thank you sir!

[@MrSsssss1111]

Hi, do you ever turn off the filter or is it running 24/7 ?

[@paulstingray]

You want filtration running 24/7 so the nitrifying bacteria stays alive.

[@MrSsssss1111]

@@paulstingray thanks a lot. I v got an Axolotl 6-7 cm long (2-3 inches i guess) few days ago. Even i did a lot of research there is not a proper answer.

[@LMat_MX]

Sir I’m upgrading my tank soon and the tank is too big for it to be cooled with fans do you know any budget chillers?

[@paulstingray]

Most cheap chillers are not great but you should be able to pick up some secondhand ones from Marine sites or something like that at a reasonable price.

[@LMat_MX]

@@paulstingray ok! Which one do you recommend then?

[@paulstingray]

@The_real_LMat it depends on the size of the tank ambient air temperature and where you live in the world. But teco chillers are a great brand.

[@LMat_MX]

@@paulstingray ah thank you

[@noodlechild666]

Would you say these are easier to keep than fish? Or simply comparable? Ive always been under the impression they are quite specialist, but this video suggests otherwise as long as you have the correct equipment.

[@paulstingray]

It all depends on the fish. Sone are super easy others almost impossible. As long as water chemistry, diet and environment are met most fish can be kept successfully. Axolotls are moderately harder than most commonly kept fish but a lot easier than a reef tank or freshwater rays etc.

[@adso5555555]

talk about plot twist!

[@paulstingray]

Yup 😂😂😂🌙🌙🦀🦀

[@maddog2896]

My apartment stays at 68 degrees all year. Would I still need to purchase a chiller?

[@paulstingray]

Ideally they do better colder but 68f it just the limit of what they can cope with long term.

[@Orchidaceous88]

🌙 🦀 woof

[@paulstingray]

That’s what he said!!! 🦀🦀🦀🌞

[@hardworkingchamp]

Can you put 3 axolotls in a 40 gallon because I've read and the Petco people told me that you start with a 20 gallon, then add 10 for each extra axolotl? I just want a second opinion, and I'm thinking of getting a 60 gallon because I've also read they each need 20 gallons. 🙏✨ thank you!

[@paulstingray]

I’d give them ideally around 20 gallons or more per axolotl each as they do get a decent size.

[@melaniehall6918]

Haha when did u realise u had the moon crab in there?

[@paulstingray]

When I put her in there 😂😂😂😂

[@unitking12_official]

Hi whould a Hailea Water Chiller HC-100A handle a 6 foot tank

[@paulstingray]

It’s rated for 50-220lts so it depends on the volume of the six foot tank

[@unitking12_official]

@paulstingray it's actually 5 foot tank sorry so 152.4 centimetres and 60.96 centimetres wide

[@paulstingray]

That’s 540lts so you would need a bigger chiller

[@slaughter819]

That tank is half the recommended size. You should definitely upgrade it.

[@paulstingray]

The 60lt tank setup was going to be for baby axolotls but now houses a marine moon crab. The main tank in this video is 250lts,as we recommend for two or three axolotls.

[@slaughter819]

@@paulstingray I have one sub adult in 150 liters and it requires at least one 50% change a week. Sometimes more. I feel anymore than 2 in the 250 would be a lot of work.

[@paulstingray]

@slaughter819 You might need better filtration.

[@slaughter819]

@@paulstingray lol filtration doesn't lower nitrates

[@paulstingray]

@slaughter819 Well somethings not right with your setup.
