Tank Requirements
Tank
A 22 gallon tank would be suitable for 3 adults, I would reccomend a 15 gallon tank at least for 1 speciment although most people do keep them in much smaller tanks
Filter
Not really nessary however if you are using one. It is reccomended to use a slow flowrate of 150L/H because they do not like fast flowing currents in their tanks
Gravel
highly reccomended to use as Axolotls would have better grip of the tank.From what I know, Axolotls would be stressed if they could not grip the bottom of their tanks
Lighting
they are highly sensitive to lighting thus little or no lighting is reccomended.
Tempreture
The water should be kept between 14 and 20oC (that's 57-68 Fahrenheit).Although they are able to survive up to 80 F but that would result in a higher matabolism rate resulting to more feeding while anything lower than 14 degrees will result in sluggish behaviour
