Axolotl care??

I have seen it done in many climates by the members of the sister forum, Caudata.org. It is all about figuring out which works best for you. Keeping the tank on the floor of a basement during the hottest months is another cheap solution.

I was wondering about substrate. I have read in care sheets that you can buy play sand from Home Depot and use that, but to rinse it until the water is clear. What exactly do they mean by that? Every time I put the hose in the bucket, it kicks up the sand and makes it look murky - it never runs clear!

You can buy play sand and rinse it well. I did that for my african cichilds, in fact when I had them. Wash until clear means exactly that - until the water isn't murky anymore. It takes awhile if you do a lot at a time. Try doing a small 2.5 gallon bucket at a time. Fill the 2.5 gallon bucket half with sand and rinse. Eventually the water will run clear - it just takes several minutes.

I got me some pool filter sand from ace hardware and it turns clear quick.
