I know this post was awhile back, but I admit to being behind :) Just
wanted
to comment on my 29g unheated axolotl tank. I have one of these, and it has
the least maintenance of any tank I own. Water is filled 25% of the tank and
filtered by a Penguin powerhead with sponge. I do 50% water changes about
every 6 months. Occupants include the 4 year old albino axolotl, his 2
3-inch shubunkin buddies, and whatever feeder fishes he lets swim around.
These fish get a little fish flakes 2-4 times a week depending if I remember
them. Only plants are a handful of java moss that manages to keep up with
the nibbling goldfish, and 3 medium banana plants with 3-inch lily pads. I
also admit to never changing the light. :)
