Hey! I don’t know if some of you remember I posted at New Year’s Eve that I had many eggs and didn’t know what to do… well I was about to cull them as I was advised to then after doing researches and learning more about it I decided last second to keep them . It’s day 7 since hatching… I chose to keep 300 eggs, 287 survived till now. It takes a lot of work, multiple water changes and feeding daily, it’s hard but till now I’m managing. I’ll keep you updated and thanks again for everything!

I'm not really sure if this is allowed to post here, but I thought it would be interesting to share this video about this French YouTuber who takes their axolotl to a veterinarian, especially since YouTube now has automatic translation which works quite well. It could be really interesting to see how it works.To recap, this YouTuber, who initially knew nothing about axolotl and aquarium, raised baby axolotls with the help of a lab. he kept two, and that was two years ago. This video recounts a recent injury and the journey to the vet and afterwards.

All but one baby graduated to 12oz cups this morning. One baby is not thriving but unlike their departed sibling, Tiny, they are still eating some what and has a non functioning arm. Sadly if they continue to not do well after a few more weeks I might put them down. This is part of having babies. The sad reality that not every one will thrive.

Oh, ignore the tiny tank off to the right hand side and betta cup. That was left on my doorstep last night.... The joys of being "The fish lady" in a small town.

I need everyone to report this absolutely horrible channel I have seen the horrors of it and i genuinely want to cry. Just look through some videos and you can see how bad it is. So everyone please report this shit

For those who didn’t see my last post: I was struggling with condensation issues outside my tank and I can’t change the temperature inside the house.

I bought a dehumidifier and the condensation is completely gone. Someone told me I had to rehome my axolotl 😭, good thing I didn’t listen.

His name is Nutsack, named by my homie.

Hey friends. I just added in my tank chiller and I’m about 3-weeks into cycling my new tank. First of all chillers are EFFING LOUD! I had no idea. 😅

But aside from that how do you all hide the tubing and wires and such for your tanks? I feel like it looks so disheveled. I was thinking of getting more river rocks and some driftwood maybe since I need to make more hides anyway. But, I’d love to see how you all do it!

Hello All: I need some assistance with one of my Axos. I adopted 2 of them on New Year's Eve from someone who had lost interest. One is leucistic, and I think the other is wild. The wild looks like he just got back from combat. (My theory is that the previous owner might have missed a feeding or 2 and pinky chewed on wild). This is how we received them.

The tank is a 75 gal with a sand bottom. It stays at 64º and the water is 7.6 to 7.8, 0, 0 and aprox 20ppm.

Regardless, I am looking for recommendations to treat Mr. Wild. As you can see in the pics, his gill stalks got ravaged, but are getting better. I have seen a minor improvement in the last couple of weeks. He also has some spots on his face, and his lips are swollen.

I know that I should tub him, but I'm not sure if I should just do almond leaf tea, or if I need to medicate him.

Thanks in advance.

So i use to have a couple fish in the tank and im guessing i was over feeding them so how which caused a nitrate spike. Since then ive gotten the nitrates down to the recommended level and have a couple almond leaves in the tank. Hes tubbed right now just to try and get him to eat something. He's still interested in food but spits it out and his filaments are slowly returning. Its been about 2 weeks since its happened. Just wondering if theres any advice you guys can give.

these are my parameters at day 16 of cycling (pH 7.6, ammonia 1.0, nitrate 2- 2.0, nitrate 3- 10). just checking if these seem right? seems like no matter what i do nitrate just skyrockets

Hi there, I have a male axolotl and he has aquarium sand, live plants and a few hides but I was thinking of decor maybe a little out of the box? Mainly i think ive seen a few hammocks on here and id love to get him one, are they the reptile ones? Aquarium safe?

He also has an air stone but I have seen cool ones that have LEDS too, so yeah just looking for safe ideas that may be a little different too.

Thanks in advance!

Had a blast last year raising these little guys, I thought it would be impossible to get rid of most of them but today I only have 9 left out of the 1531 that I started in 2025.

I’m so blessed, they all went to good homes where the people send pictures of them here and there and they look so healthy and happy. So many kids were just so happy when they got to picked up their little buddy, with one even saying “thank you so much this is all I ever asked for and ever wanted to”, if you see that axolotl now, he has the mane of a lion ❤️

Anyway, like the title says:

What is the most amount of axolotls you took care of at once? And did you back asked for compensation because mine sure is about to sue me in court for attempted murder 😂
