No, it is not recommended to keep plecos with axolotls in the same tank as plecos may nibble on the axolotl's gills, causing harm to the axolotl.
To effectively lower nitrates in your axolotl tank, you can perform regular water changes, use live plants to absorb nitrates, and ensure proper filtration and maintenance of the tank. Additionally, avoid overfeeding your axolotl to reduce excess waste that contributes to nitrate levels.
I have never kept them but at least a 30ltr tank is advised by experienced growers for one Axolotl and an extra 10 ltrs needs to be added for each extra Axolotl.an axolotl tank should be at least 10 gallons.
Yes, they do. if they're in a tank put some shells in it for it to swap them over. Otherwise no they don't.
They like a bit of old pipe so you can make a little tunnel for them to hide in.
Yes.
Yes you can. Go to a pet shop and buy a bag of shells for fishtanks. These are good because they won't introduce bacteria to the tank.
If axolotls breathes oxygen, then yes.
It's generally not recommended to put egg shells in a septic tank. While they are biodegradable, they can take a long time to break down and may contribute to the buildup of solids in the tank. Additionally, they could potentially disrupt the balance of bacteria that help in the breakdown of waste. For better septic tank maintenance, it's best to stick to flushing only human waste and toilet paper.
No you shouldn't put egg shells in quantity in your septic tank. I work for a plumber and we pump 20 tanks a day and you can actually see the eggs shells in the tank. They tend to make everything really hard and alot hatder to pump the tank, that in turn makes the cost to pump the tank a little higher. Some think that egg shells sharpen the blades on the disposal.While a disposal and a septic tank don't do to good together because for some reason the ground food doesn't break down it just sits on top. Try ice instead of egg shells in youe disposal. That will sharpen your blades {ever so slightly}/
It is alright if your axolotl swims around at the top of their enclosure. This may however signify that they need more oxygen and that you should clean the tank more often.
No, this isn't a good idea. The betta might nibble the axolotl's delicate gills, and a big axolotl could swallow a betta, but the most obvious reason why the two are incompatible is that they prefer very different water temperatures. Bettas are tropical fish that require relatively high temperatures of 25-30 degrees Celsius, whereas axolotls prefer their water cooler, around 15 degrees.
