I have three axolotls and they like playing with the turkey baster.
My problem is that lately, they'll snap at everything. I've noticed them snapping every time something happens to disturb the surface of the water. My oldest, Bubbles, isn't quite as bad, but my near-adult, Midna, is, as well as the juvenile, Seren. They will attack that turkey baster if it is in the water. I'm wondering if this aggression will be redirected to one another when I introduce them as tank mates.
I plan on getting a large tank, probably around 75+ US gallons. Something else to note, I often stick my hand in the tanks. Bubbles and Midna often crawl on my hand, sometimes nibbling my fingers, but Seren swims away and will have nothing to do with me unless I have food. She is very easily scared and has been known to swim erratically around the tank if startled. This can be triggered by a worm, and if she's startled, she won't eat.
