Just recently got our first axolotl. He came with a fully cycled tank, sand substrate, sponge filter and some artificial plants. We added one hide as well as a few more fake plants. I plan on adding some live floating plants as well. My concern is the tank that he came with is a 20 gallon long. I’d love to get a larger tank but the only spot we can keep him isn’t large enough for a 40G breeder. I’ve seen folks say the 29G is an option but it’s only taller, not longer. Also, in the few days we’ve had him he hasn’t been eating much. A few night crawlers and a couple of the lotl pebbles that were given to us. Is that normal? Maybe he’s just getting acclimated to his new surroundings? Any advice would be much appreciated
