    EBay and Axolotl Shipping Nightmare

    Does anyone else have problems selling axolotls on eBay? I have had the worst experience in my entire time on eBay this past week. Listed some axolotls, and it was taken down due to shipping policy. I listed as 1-3 business day shipping. So, I relisted with 1 day shipping only and...

    FS Posting?

    Any idea why the post I made in the FS section hasn't been approved yet? Posts newer than when I submitted mine are up now. I followed the rules.

    DIY Chiller

    Does anyone have experience or knowledge of making your own chiller? I know a lot of reef DIYers say that the mini fridge method is not effective or worth the effort. What about the axolotl community? Is it effective for what we need?

    Axolotl Genetics Discussion

    I'm a little bit of a genetics freak, or at least I was in high school, so I am interested in trying to figure out the genetics for my 4 babies. I have 4 Axolotls from the same clutch (NO I will not be breeding them to each other) that are still unsexed. 1 White Albino 1 Light Wild...

    Grey Color??

    I have 4 4-5 month old Axolotls and one of them seems to be developing a "grey" slime coat? She is a wild type, and has always been greyer in color than the other's, especially down her tail that lacks almost all the black spots. Lately, though it almost looks like her slime coat is turning...

    General Feeding Question

    So, this has a little to do with Axolotls. I got home from work last night, to see my Pearl Cichlids laying eggs! Yay! (Not) I've been having a hard time getting rid of their offspring, as they seem to be very prolific. No local fish stores within 2 hours of me are interested in them...

    Feeding, how much and when.....

    I currently have 3 babies, 3-4" long now. They are currently eating frozen blood worms. I was feeding them 1 cube twice a day last week. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday I fed them 1 cube 3 times a day. Since I work during the week, I fed them 2 cubes this morning before I left. My...

    Curious Momma!

    So, who else spends their work day browsing the forum and looking up old threads just to get as much information on their new little one's at home? Proud momma of 3 3 month old wild type babies, I worry when I'm not home to watch them. Wonder if they are eating their substrate when I'm not...

    Substrate OK?

    Does anyone think this substrate is too big? I don't think so, but they are my first babies so I want to be absolutely sure.

    New Habitat Set Up

    I have a few silly type questions about Axie habitats. I'm more used to fish, so this is all an experience for me. I want to do a sand substrate, since the tank I have is on a stand with no bottom under the tank (20g long standard metal stand), I feel the clearness and visibility to the...

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
