Hi, I was wondering if you have any ideas about the best way to introduce enrichment to an axolotl aquarium. I bought mine a bunch of new fake plants, some quite colourful (his tank has been pretty sparse lately) and am unsure if I should add them all at once or stagger it over time?

I don’t know a lot about axolotls specifically, but I do know that for any animal a lot of change over a short period can be very stressful. I would suggest staggering them so that he has time to get used to each new thing and isn’t overwhelmed. 

Gradually change things. Swap individual decor items out, as long as you leave several good places to hide. Odd items placed outside the tank are good, too, if your critter can look at them.
