It is much easier to own one, not a pair or community. A ten gallon tank is an acceptable size to house an adult, but a 20 gallon is better. Make sure the tank has a lid, Axolotls have been known to jump out of their tank. They do not require any lighting and love hiding spots. It is very entertaining to watch them maneuver around. Their diet consists of nightcrawlers (large worms) and frozen bloodworm cubes. A good substrate for axolotls is aquarium-safe sand. Axolotls have a habit of ingesting aquarium gravel and mouth-sized objects if they are available. This can lead to gut impactions and even death. They usually last 10-20 years.
