Frankie’s Tank

I’m showing Frankie’s Tank in case there are any adjustments or specific needs that Frankie might need in her tank, and if there are, let me know.

Hello! Frankie is very adorable :3
I’ve noticed your tank doesn’t seem to have many places where Frankie can hide, maybe add a hide or two. Axies, from what I have observed, tend to feel more comfy when they have a little dark cozy place they go to. Also, is that light always on? Axolotls can be stressed out by bright lights. Maybe add some plants to provide some shade for Frankie. Live plants are preferable because they can help oxygenate the water and also help reduce nitrate levels, but live plants can also be a bit tricky to care for so if you aren’t up to it, silk aquarium plants can also be a good way to go. Sorry if this wasn’t helpful, I’m not the most experienced. Have a good day or night. :]

Hi JazAxolotl!

Thanks for the advice, I am looking into finding some appropriate hidey holes for Frankie and I currently have one being delivered to me from EBay. No, the light is not always on. I only turned it on because it was night and the room was dark. I used to have some live plants which were attached to the little skull in the corner (don’t ask why I have an obsession with skulls 😅) but bits of the plant kept coming off and getting stuck in the filter, so I had to take it out. I was thinking of getting plastic plants but silk plants are probably a better idea 🙂.
(Don’t worry, I’m not the most experienced axolotl keeper either 😆)

Thanks for the help,
AxieFrankie

For the hides if you haven't got any yet, you can use a terracotta pot or some pvc pipe that's what in have in my tank and my axies love to hide in them, just make sure it's big enough so frankie won't get stuck.

Thanks, I’ll be sure to do that. I also ordered one on Ebay that’s a litttle hut for Frankie to hide in, its big enough and its super cute 😅🙃

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!
