I have an axolotl, and my in laws have one. I have heard of wild type aggression with other axolotls. I was wondering if it was true,are wildtypes more aggressive? Will my axolotl always be alone because of his aggression?
the only time I ve ever had one axolotl nip at another is when they hadnt been fed and were hungry, or in the process of feeding
I have 3 juveniles and 1 adult
The adult lives bu himself and the 3 juvies together
All 3 juveniles were missing their back legs from being nipped before i got them
2 of them almost never seem to nip at the other, but the other one will nip at the other 2 when it comes close to feeding time
Ive noticed that the hungrier they are the likely they are to nip at anything that could be considered food
when i keep them well fed and feed them in separate areas of the tank (i can lure them with bits of worms til they swim where i want them, hehe) they are very well behaved, heh
How big are the smaller three? Do you find them growing at different rates affecting their nipping at each other? I worry because stevie the wildtype is growing faster than spike,the,melanoid and i worry if there continues to be such a size difference, stevie will nip at spike.
