Getting 3 axolotls!

Hi, as the title says im getting 3 of these guys soon, and they will all be in a 20 gallon with a cycled filter. Im getting a gold, a albino and a normal. Im separating them at first because they are 3-4" and i dont want them eating each other haha. I was wondering on what i should be feeding besides bloodworms and earthworms, i also bought some bloodworm/earthworm pellets haha

I also bought a chiller which i guess is just a bunch of fans haha

Do i need to separate all of them? Or will there definitely start eating off limbs? And will this behavior continue for life if they are raised together? I do have 2 dividers and im prepared to split the tank into 3.

Ive seen a whole bunch of morphs, but i couldnt find sellers besides buy-axolotls.com and backwaterreptiles.com, they arent coming yet because i put them on hold until my tank is set up. Can they be housed on sand? And is a weak LED light ok for them?

Just got my shipment in! And.. there all dead... o well ill see if i can get some more in a few weeks.

Yes, they arrived dead, what morphes do you have? Also how long have you had them, and what are they feeding on?

Ive heard that axies raised together still inhibit cannibalistic behavior through out their life, but ill see haha, i feel like getting 2 adults and putting a baby by himself until it gets larger.

I know someone who sells them quite regularly. Did you complain that they were DOA to the seller?
