deep clean the AXOLOTL TANK with me! | axolotl updates 

The general rule for axies is to keep their body the same width as their head. You are feeding nutritious food, so as long as his body is as wide as his head he is a healthy lil monster XXX

I love how positive of a person you are. (:

I love all your vids you have helped me take care of my 3 juvenile turtles

Hello! To your concern about Mochi’s stunted growth, sometimes we just get small axolotls. It could be related to genetics. If you’re feeding him earthworms and have great water parameters, you’re doing nothing wrong. He looks great 🙂

Question : do you use brand new water to put back in or the water you took out? I wasn’t sure if you use the previous water and just wanting to take up the debris

Thankyou so much! Not so long ago I bought an axolotl and I’ve been struggling to find a good tutorial for cleaning it out so this really helps

Thanks so much! I got an axolotl a while ago and you were very helpful before I got him. Now that I’ve had him for a couple months you’re still helping a lot

Thank you so much! I am getting an axolotl and i really needed help with the cleaning! I couldn’t find i good non-complicated video!

You are a life saver! I recently adopted a turtle who was abused. She had been living in a 10 gal. Tank with basically one inch of water. She had never swam before, never felt the warmth of baskin. They told me that she was 8 years old and only 5 inches poor baby was growing out of her shell which looks uncomfortable. I had no idea where to start but your channel helped me out so much! Also I have a 40 gal. Tank at the moment and saving up for a bigger one. I filled it all the way up and set up her cage and she has been under the warm light for so long. She looked finally relaxed and happy. 💖

Glad to see Mochi is doing well. (& you to). Quality content, as always...

Hi I love ur videos and u inspired me to get turtles and I got 2 turtles in a 75 gallon tank with creek stone and watching u helps me know more.

great video. i like the way you do diffrent topics. well done. peace, love and blessings.

When you were scraping the glass the axaotl was stareing at the tank it was So cute!

This will be my axolotls first Halloween. I love watching axolotl videos. For christmas i am getting a 3ft tank! I am so excited

Another great video, Sol! 🥰

This was really cool. Thanks! :-)

I love this type of videos

mochi is the single perfect name for your axolotl

Thanks for this video helps me alot

Definitely!! I think he will love the 40 g! I got my axo about 3 yrs ago and he is 13 inches! When he was about 7 inches I gave him a fuzzy mice he grew like inch that month lol would you be able to try that? I did lots of research! Although mice is NOT A GOOD STAPLE diet once in a lifetime won’t hurt! Great video! He is adorable!

I got my axolotl last may. He was the runt so he is growing very slowly

I once had a baby Axolotl I thought had died and I put it in the water flea tank. I found it a month later in the mulmb At the bottom it had to be at least 10 times the size of the others the same age. It had an endless supply of food and way outgrew his clutch. I’m just guessing but the more you feed them as they grow the bigger they get and when they reach maturity whatever size they are is kind of where they stay. I’ve had some that were a foot-long and some that were 8 inches, some 10 inches. I imagine in the wild they eat however often they run into food and want to eat. Live food and things that tickle their snout seem to trigger them to wanna eat more as well

I'm getting myself an Axie and have watched all your videos on mochi so I know roughly what I'm doing! He is such a little cutie!!! I'm so excited to get mine!

I love all your vids there all sooooo cool

I love your videos. I am a new turtle mom but I do have other reptiles before having my red eared slider Lily. Then just end of Feb someone asked me to rescue a softshell turtle. I was supposed to just foster her but ended up adopting her and named her Morla. Then surprisingly she laid eggs only after 3 weeks or being with us. only 2 of her 11 eggs are fertile and hatched and now she has 18 more eggs from her 2nd clutch (9 of which are fertile) I have videos of them on my channel. I actually came upon your channel when I was searching for softshell turtle care. I learned a lot more about how to care for Lily my RES. We also have a leopard gecko, ball python and sailfin dragon, my 11-year old daughter has been a reptile lover since she was 9. The LG's and the BP are actually hers. By the way you might want to watch my DIY enclosure videos. I make their enclosures myself. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3zfUq1087kU.html

Definitely think that if your able he would love the 20gal.L 🥰

I may have accidentally deleted my comment so I’m re-commenting. I had an axolotl that I thought died and put it in the water flea tank. Found it a month or three weeks later it was at least 10 times the size of the little ones from the same clutch.It had had an endless supply of live food. It’s just my guess that Axolotl’s top out in size In their first year or at least until they reach maturity. And yes I agree some Axolotl’s might be smaller than others genetically but I have found they can where outgrow each other depending on how often they eat and how much they eat. I’ve had Axolotl’s around 6 inches and some as long as a foot

LOL..he was hungry. He looks great. i don't think he's stunted at all. I have 4 lotls. Also, i did a deep cleaning on two of my turtle tanks today. Always good to see you. Have a great weekend.

OMG TURTLE GIRL I LOVE U❤️ GREAT JOB U INSPIRED ME TO GET ME GECKO IM CRYING

Thank you for your video. Can you please say what you use to scrape the tank (and where to get it), as well as what you use to take the water out of the tank? Also, do you use tap water in the tank, and if so, how do you make sure it is safe for your Axi?

Omg I love you channel so much!!!! I wished you posted more you should start posting two or three times a week if you had time?

Mine are in 55 gal tank and they doubled in size, about 12 inches now, I heard they can get bo 19inches so that is why I put them in 55gal

I've been in the process getting my tank cycled and ready for a axolotl. ive been learning in the mean time all i can about axolotl. Question went u do the water change do you need the water to be the same temperature it was before u took him out. I have a fan running its at 63.

Early! I love your videos!

I have a yellow belly named Kilo and I didn’t even know half of the things I needed to know when I got her lol. I used to literally move her tank and empty it and clean it by hand 😅.

Next Friday can you do your Nelson milk snake??? I want to learn more about them because I'm thinking of getting one myself

I want the cardboard cut-out so bad 😂 I just discovered you and am gonna go see what else you’ve got!

So do u use different water to refill or the same I’m rly confused? I rly want to get an axolotl but idk if I’m prepared enough so I just want to make sure Ik what I am doing if I do end up getting one!!

Hi! I have a question. Before putting the pipes in, did you have to do any prep work? Did you sand them? Or anything else? I have recently bought some pipes like that and am scared to just throw them into my tank

Lol ur makeup is rlly good

thanks so much for the tips soon i'm getting a baby axolotl

Love your channel

love your videos! how often do you recommend feeding your axolotl? i just got mine but i’ve gotten a bunch of different answers on how much and how often to feed. thanks!!

When Mochi crawled into the tub so you can clean his tank I cried ❤️😭

Hi how do you keep the tank so clear & clean?.. I feel like I'm daily cleaning mine & changing the water 2-3 times a week.. it still has debris floating around & don't know what I'm doing wrong 😪.. I feed mine bloodworms, night crawlers & pellets.. & my axie is on a bare service like yours & I'm using a filter.. what's the sponge filter for ?..& should I get ramhorn snails to control the debris?

I think some axies are just small! I have two and one of them is at least an inch/inch and a half smaller than the other one (even though they are the same age).

Axolotls are my favorite animal!!

Some axolotls are genetically stunted, but others can become stunted due to diet and other improper care. Axolotls generally do most of their growing in the first 12 months of their life, growing at around an inch per month until they reach 6-10 inches in size. A mini is an axolotl that looks normal (normal body proportions) but is just smaller than average adult axolotl size. Normal axolotls reach 9-12 inches and minis are generally around 6 inches. A dwarf will look proportionately different, usually with a shorter, fatter torso. They can reach normal adult axolotl size but generally are a little smaller. A healthy weight for an axolotl is when their belly is the same width as their head. I couldn't tell in the video, but just a heads up. Also, a lone axolotl should be housed in a minimum of a 20 long, so upgrading him would be a great idea!

I have a leopard gecko too 😍 he’s in a 40 terrarium but he keeps eating the cleaning crew 😓. But anyway do you have to prep the water a day before the change?

hi! first of all i love you and you have taught me so much. Can you do any vids of baby turtle care if you ever had one because the internet isnt really giving me the answers to my questions. Thanks!

Does Mochi ask a lot of questions 🤔 He's adorable! 🥰

Are you only using the bubbler as a filter?We have a true filter but I’m just wondering what’s best we have a 20 gallon tank

Hannah feder is a RU-vid I follow for animal care tips and I just came from a video where she said she's feeding pellets so her axolotol won't have stunted growth. I'm definitely no expert just letting anyone know if they want to look into it.

Sol , hope ur safe there in USA🇺🇸 !

Hi, I love your vidoes. They are really informative. Question: what do you do with the water after you cleaned the tank?

My axo had a showed huge groth when I put them in a 40 long tank with real plants

Wow 😳😳😳 So they do exist.

Hi. I have 2 musk turtles and I have be doing a lot of research on panther chameleons witch I am going to get next. Have you ever thought about get one 😃. Love your channel.

Hi! How do i cycle a tank, and what are the water testing levels of an axolotl? 💕

What pump or syfin are you using to clean the tank?

Hi I was wondering can I put Ammo-carb in my turtle tank filter I have a red eared slider.

How often do you do a deep clean usually? I can’t find info or heard u say:(

where did you get the water chager from?

Hey guys I was wondering if I could get some help, if my turtle tank is on the floor would it be possible to use a canister filter or should I go with an over the back filter? And if I use an over the back filter which one would you recommend that’s powerful enough to filter the bio load of my ninjas?

I am getting two In a 35 gallon tank and am wondering what filter I get because I dont care about the cost but I just need something that is really affective/quiet.

Try making homemade food for mochi . He might grow a little bit . I use bread , earthworms, bloodworms, some banana . Mix them all up . Then make it like worms ( just grate it ) . Donot dry them . Let them just be for 12 hours . Once its ready, feed it to him . It works for mine one : D

What vacuum do you use?

I have a turtle I got it just yesterday and I dont know how to feed him or what should I feed him

What kind of substrate are you using?

Did you feed him everyday while growing? They need to be fed everyday untill full then tapper to every other or three day feeding

What is the thing you use to clean and put the water into the tank

What do you use to fill the tank back up?

I love how attentive the axolotl is in the video. At some point will he want to be a land at all?

what did you use to fill the tank

The axolotl shirt is cool

EARLY!!

what water treatments do you use for you axolotl tank

What kind of tile do you have in the bottom?

He is vibin and I want to vibe with him so bad someone send halp plis :)))))

Hi! Do you have any tips on transporting large tanks? I have an African mud turtle in a 55 gallon along with 3 goldfish and 3 danios and I was wondering how to move it. (We’re moving 2 hrs away from where we live now)

Hi! I had a question about doing 100% water changes. If you want to re-do your tank or whatever and you need to do a 100% water change, wouldn't that ruin the cycle? If not, please explain so I don't do anything wrong before owning an axolotl!

Axolotl enrichment would be good I think for a video

How often should I do water changes in the axolotl tank and how much water should I change each time

How often do you feed him?

Hi! I am planning to get myself and axolotl but I don’t know the right measurements for the tank. If possible could you tell me how big yours is. Thanks

In your axotol tank can he or she not Jump out of it? And how many times a week do u have to feed ur axotol?

My dad told me when he was a kid he had a bunch of exotic fish and he had an axolotl and piranhas. Etc.

Sometimes reptiles grow according to size of their living space. Maybe amphibians also??

when the axolotl bites you dose it hurt?

Thank you! Instant like! How’s mochi doing today? My axolotl’s name is Yoshi! have a good day c:

I really want a turtle but my mum won’t let me

Did you cycle your tank for your Axolotl?

So cute :3

Hi! How big is Nemo,( I'm thinking of getting a turtle) thx :)

I need help with my turtle.she is a stinkpot musk turtle and never eats vegetables and fruits she only wants to eat pellets.some things I tried to feed him are bananas and strawberries and I might try blueberries.I tried making the strawberries smell like the pellets he would be interested.I hope the turtle girl reads this and answers.(btw I had her for about 4 months and she is a hatchling

im getting an axolotl thank you for your help

what water changer do u use?

Where do you get water from? I know nothing. I've never even kept a goldfish!

Try feeding Mochi’s bloodworms and you can feed them 2-3 a day

I know that this is an older video but could you tell me the light you have I don’t wanna over due it with the lights thanks
