My axi's gills tend to shrink from time to time, and they've never developed like the axolotls I see online (with long, feathery gills). I was wondering if there's a way to fix that? He's a little less than 5 inches long at the moment, he eats well, and his tank is always clean. I don't know what's wrong...

@@meylinhernandez461 With fluffy gills, I heard it's a combination of genetics and environment. Your axolotl's parents may just have shorter gills. All you can do is keep the water quality clean, the axolotl well-fed, and cross your fingers. :)

@@GirlTalksFish hey, my axi is getting white fluff on his finger tips, and a buddy told me to tub him for a couple days with some methylene blue (changing his water every day of course). I've been doing this for 3 days now but nothing... the white stiff is still there. It's not a lot (it's not like on his body, just the tip of his legs) but I dont qant him to die. I'm desperate for him to get better bc i think my other axi died of this stuff a long while back. Btw he eats just fine. Any advice would be much appreciated. 😪

griffin clements Hey! If you have tons of decorations in the tank, you can do bare bottom! It will only stress them out if they font have any or enough decorations. It’s really easy to clean, I really recommend it! That’s what my axolotl Aether has in his tank!

@Justme-pt1ld 4 года назад

I just do bare bottom. :) Very easy to clean.

@birbsandme750 3 года назад

Sand is a good choice for fake plants too. I belive you should use because axoltols like to rest on plants and live plants will be crushed when they are resting on it.

@jojoMantraMind 4 года назад

When I was 14 I got my first Axolotl, and he was, I would guess given his size at the time, around 3 years old. He died just this year, I am 28 now, so that was 14 years ago. That would have made him 17 years old. He grew quite emaciated and frail, and at the end would no longer take any food. But I have kept many many axolotls and have never seen one get as old as he did, he was quite ancient. My other axolotl lived to be 12, and I currently have one that is 5, and he is quite young looking. I think they can get to be pretty old if kept right and fed properly.

Very good job! :) Well I tried to keep a guppy colony with my axolotls, I have 4 in a 90 gallon tank, all 4 adults, I added 150 guppies which I bought from a friend in the tank, my plan was to keep the guppies there for the axolotls to take AND keep the colony going but to my surprise I woke up the very next day and only 9 guppies were left! 😂 These monsters never stop eating haha, anyway, loved your video! axolotls are awesome! Greetings from Belgium! :)

@GirlTalksFish 5 лет назад

Lol, your axolotls are guppy-eating machines! I have a friend who put some of her guppies with her 3 axolotls, and they never touched them. They prefer to wait for their owner to conveniently drop pellets and earthworms right in front of their mouths. 😂

I'm still watching, but I'm an *experienced* axolotl owner. This is one of the only videos that mentioned how messy it is when they poop. I have my baby (not really a baby anymore) in a 10 gal cause he got stressed in a 20 gal. IF YOU SEE POOP CLEAN IT lol. poop that's flung is not fun the clean up. Also fun to note, sometimes barebottom can stress them out:). My axolotl went from eating bloodwork. Then he started refusing when I offered up size. He prefers pellets and still eats 2 times a day haha. I'm glad you said there could be no fish because I've seen a lot of guppies and tanks together. Also, Idk if I missed it..., but did you mention water testing?

Alex Sparks what do you use to clean the poop

@dozy-arts8812 5 лет назад

Another experienced axolotl owner here! 20 gallons is the accepted minimum for any adult axolotl and then ten more for each additional axolotl. It's possible yours was stressed not because of the additional space but maybe lack of cover? If they don't have hides or plants that can stress them pretty badly. Bare bottom should also not stress them but fine sand isn't much more difficult to clean and it looks beautiful.

Btw Axolotl is a Nahuatl word and it's phonetic pronunciation to English would be more like Asholotl - X is a very soft should like "sh", both "o"s are pronounced like in the word Ocean, the "TL" ending is a fast sound generated at the back of your mouth by keeping the tip of your tongue behind your incisors meanwhile moving the back of your tongue rapidly downwards to produce the sound "L".

I use quatz sand, and never had any problems with it, they can eat it, and It just comes out the other end. Fine sand can get stuck in the stomach. Axolotls do like to have grip on there soft feet. DO NOT bring them out of the water or they will die. If you're Axolotl goes straight then they are stressed, put a lot of hiding holes, turn light of and put something over the tank, helps them when they are stressed. Put a book right near the tank and they will read it. Check out what I said and then make your own decisions. And remember each to there own.

Oh goodness, one would hope not! They already have so many invasive species; who knows how another one would affect their ecosystem.

We have mudpuppies , they look very similar . No negative impact , only new flavor for the gar... Too hot in Florida for cold water fish ( except in a spring )

the water is too hot for them there, but yes funny joke

I have a gold fish with my axolotl and there mates they don't bother each other at all just swim past each other and I use pepples as a substance because a flat ground/slippery can stress them out😀

In Southwest Ohio we have a fish store called Gerber’s Tropical Fish and it has an Axolotl section with baby Axolotls. They also have every fish you could ever imagine! Even saltwater fish. They have tanks, decorations fish food and medicine and they even have water you can buy. I really recommend if you love fish and live in Southwest Ohio!

White Cloud Mountain Minnows are perfectly fine to house with axolotls. Assuming there is adequate filtration. No defensive spines, tolerate same temperature ranges well, and are not prone to picking at the axolotl gills. In my experience they live well together and the school of white clouds are never eaten by the axolotls. Great video though!

@GirlTalksFish 6 лет назад

Good point! I was definitely thinking about adding white cloud minnows to my axolotl tank. Glad to hear that your axolotls haven't eaten them and the minnows haven't bothered the axolotls. 👍

@liakantor5517 3 года назад

Thank you for the guide. Decades ago, I bought an albino one for my mom because I thought they were so weird/cool. I"m pretty sure it was in a little bowl and I can tell from your vid that I was not in the least prepared! I was thinking of getting one for myself but I'm sad that they aren't legal in California anymore ;-( I wonder, theoretically, if they would be able to survive a few day trip from WA in a car...

I use ultra fine sand for mine! I have a ten gallon with a sponge filter and a PVC pipe junction for its hide. He relaxes in the pipe a lot but sometimes he comes out to explore. I’m excited for my future with him, also for keeping the water cold. I simply have him in my basement and put an ice cube in everyday.

@butterflysnme724 2 года назад

@always_bethany2961 4 года назад

For my axolotl I like to use tile! It’s great because it makes him stand out! The only problem is that I have a hard time cleaning it because I break out when I touch the cold water! I have cold urticaria (basically an allergy to cold temps, I break out in hives! Yes it’s real!) of course I still do it often because I can’t not clean it 😂
