Breeding my axolotl

[bubbas5kids]

Can anyone help my wife and I, we are trying to breed our wild type storm fly with our male valcor. It seems he doesn't want any thing to do with her any one have suggestions for us.

I don't have experience breeding axolotls but it would be good to check water quality as a first step. Is your tank cycled? Have you checked the parameters for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, PH and temperature?

Not related to your question but I notice in the photos you have the little glass/plastic stones. These are pretty but unfortunately are hazardous to have in an axolotl tank. They pose a risk of the axolotl swallowing them and becoming impacted as they are not able to pass the stone. This can be fatal. I would recommend removing them.

I don't know of anything you can really do besides making sure the condition are correct so checking water quality is a good first step. Others here may have some further advice.

Also, how old are your axolotls?

Age is a huge factor... Ive hear lowering the temperature to about 5 degrees Celsius stimulates breeding behavior, mostly in males however. Here is a link that may help http://www.axolotl.org/breeding.htm
