I am getting a new fish for my 17 gallon and I've chosen the Axolotl. Accordingly, they need hard water. How do I harden it and how would I check?
Sorry, I haven't updated my siggy yet. The black moor has been moved and the tank is now being set up as a tropical. I read a lot about it (something about Axolotl colonies) and it said they have only managed to succesfully keep it with plecostoma.Fruitbat said:Oh...by the way....I wouldn't expect a small black moor to survive long with an axolotl either. Surprises do happen but eventually the salamander will look at that black moor with much more hunger than affection!
I've noticed that with some of the larger ones at the LFS. does not bode well for me, I've set up the tank already with gravel and an undergravel filter. We'll have to hope all is well. Maybe if I put in some plastic trees it will restrain itself from eating the gravel and may use the trees as climbing things? Or find other uses? I put in a little barrel that the axolotl can sleepin or climb on, and perhaps climb through.rubysoho said:it talks about how gravel isn't a very good choice because sometimes they'll eat it... etc...
