    Sand for Axolotl

    So I've done lots of digging, and I'm still pretty nervous. Does anyone have any brands they know of that have safe sand for an axolotl? I would hate to put something in Dollar's tank that would hurt him. Thanks in advance, Tjebb

    Question: Looking in to getting shrimp for my axolotl

    I am looking in to getting little shrimp to live, and get eaten, by my axolotl. Would I have to feed the shrimp? Or would they just live off of the plants in the tank. Anyone with experience, please let me know!

    Help! Axolotl not eating, doing a "throwing up" motion

    So I have had Dollar for about a year and a half now. He is usually in good condition, other than a few ammonia jumps that happened in the earlier years. He hasn't eaten in a about two days, and he keeps trying to "throw up." I keep moss balls in the tank, and I am worried he decided to eat one...

    Fluttering Gills A Lot

    So I had just moved my axolotl into his new tank, well cycled and everything. At first he was super still and nervous, then he would do small movements, but he still isn't moving much. Please note he has only been in the tank for around 30 minutes, so I figure he is adjusting. His gills are...

    Question: Food Farm Thingy? (I don't know what they are called)

    Is it possible to give my axolotl feeder fish and have them breed and he eats them as they produce? So like a farm thingy? What could I "farm" for him? What do you guys do? And can they be in the same tank or no? My wording is kinda off, I am sorry. Also, what do you guys recommend to feed...

    Help? I don’t know if this is normal or not.

    So, my axolotl, Dollar, has a transparent under body. Like, you can see his organs almost clearly. Is that okay? As he has grown up, he has lost color and gained that transparency. His back side is almost all black, with a few colored spots. He is about 2.5 inches long, give or take. Dollar...

    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?
