What should I put on the bottom of my axolotl tank?

If you want to go the bare-bottom route, consider using slate or tile on the bottom of the tank to provide your Axolotl(s) with some extra grip. Gravel, stones or marbles are a huge no-go for Axolotls. These salamanders see practically anything as food and are very clumsy during feeding time.

What size tank do you need for a Axolotl?

15 to 20 gallonAxolotls can get quite large for a salamander, so at least a 15 to 20 gallon fish tank (aquarium) is recommended, although the tank doesn't have to be full of water (the water only needs to be just deeper than the full length of the axolotl). The tank should be kept in a cool room away from bright sunlight.

How long does it take to cycle an axolotl tank?

about six to eight weeksThe cycling process typically takes about six to eight weeks. Once ammonia and nitrite levels are so low that they aren't showing up on your tests, you may add more fish. However, you'll want to do this gradually, introducing just one or two new fish at once.
