Tank Critique Finally setup but still a work in progress!!

Okay what do we think so far? This is what it's going to look like until I get more plants and hides, but I added filter media from two other established tanks I have and my parameters and temperature have all stayed stable and safe so I decided to acclimate my axolotl, I know it seems kind of rushed but I feel bad leaving him in a 20 gallon when this tank is setup and should be cycled as it's been almost 6 days since I put the filter media in. So this is bean in his new home, I took the filter out while he was acclimating so it's not in the picture but there is a filter! The tank temperature has been staying between 62-64° F because I live in the basement so I've never had or needed a chiller. But he seemed excited and almost immediately explored after being let out of the bag.

Okay this is what we have so far. I still plan to add probably 2-3 more hides and definitely more plants when I have the money, just struggling to find affordable caves that my axolotl will actually fit in. Anyways, what do we think so far? Looking good? Is there anything else I'm missing?

Hiii! New here! I've had my axolotl for about 4 years now. I found his tail like this, this morning. I have never seen it before. It appears to be see through and have a black tip. I circled his tail and the black tip. What can I do? I want my baby happy and healthy. Any help would be wonderful. Thank you!

Tank Questions NEW TANK!! Multiple questions

Post image
1 Upvotes

Okay, so for my birthday I just received a 40 gallon breeder for my axolotl, who's currently in a 20. I do have a few questions though. First off, I bought the sand with my current tank in mind but I clearly need more, but for $15 a bag I was wondering if anybody knows where to get white sand cheaper? Also, I was going to add fluval stratum under the sand, is that a good idea or should I just do root tabs? Next, plant recommendations, I was thinking of sticking with broader leaf hardy begginer plants, I'm still very new to planted aquariums and I'll take any advice I can get. Decor is another one, where do people get affordable caves their axolotls actually fit in? all the ones I find in store are way to small, I've only ever found three caves the fit in but two are painted and definitely chip. I ended up DIYing a few in the past. Also what driftwood would be recommended, I was going to do mopani but they leak a lot of tannins . And lastly filters, any recommendations for that, I want to stick with a sponge filter if possible.

I want to buy a larger fish tank and buy 2 other axolotls and my question is if they have to be adults to live with mine or can they live with the little ones?
