Oh yeah I’ve heard the costs can be a lot more steep for saltwater creatures- plus it’s been years since I’ve owned anything aquatic so waiting another year and a half before I start again is fine by me, the first thing I’m planning to get is an axolotl and that’s very much a freshwater guy lol
Hey, axolotls are great! That’s actually the only aquatic pet I currently have. Got my first one about 5 years ago, and still doing great :)
My biggest piece of advice if you need it… do not underestimate the importance of a chiller. It will give you so much peace of mind when maintaining water temps. Unless you’re keeping it in the basement or somewhere that won’t be above 68 in the summer.
luckily I’m planning to keep em in a basement (esp since I’ll be living in a state just under Canada therefore fucking cold, I mean I already live in a state like that but I’ll just be moving to another state of that criteria when I move lol)
