Please check out the new and better setup here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzUjv22atbs&t=8s&list=PLETIG8JUt5oSch-wupkoWhEGcFcb7rFjA&index=74

Regarding the GRAVEL please READ the following INFORMATION!! :)

Feel free to check the newer setup, it's better than this one (imo): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzUjv22atbs&list=PLETIG8JUt5oQ_xoi3Tf5gxrZ4U-p5SnGW&index=9

We set up a new tank for the axolotls. It's a 240 l tank, so more than enough space for my two axolotls. :)

I wanted to keep as many snails as possible, so I first collected them out of the old setup. They eat the axolotl faeces and keep the tank clean.

If you want to use gravel, be careful! The gravel should not be larger than 3mm and should not have any sharp edges! There is some special "Axolotl gravel" you can use, it is completely rounded.
Axolotls may swallow the gravel, if the gravel has sharp edges it can seriously hurt the animal's inner organs, what can lead to its death!

Axolotls need the opportunity to hide. Clay tubes are a perfect 'den'.
Plants will keep the oxygen in the water on a high level.

The water flow you can see at the end of this video looks quite high. Usually there is no big flow in this tank, I re-adjusted the filter-pipe after filming this sequence.
I use an external eheim filter, which is running only a few hours per day and without causing much flow.

Usually you would need to cycle the tank a few weeks before the axolotls can move in. However, as I used much of the already cycled water from the previous setup, this was not necessary in this case.
