Hello! Im Tim from the Cleveland OH area and I'm new to breeding axies; although I have been an adoptive parent of the female (Axy) for 3 yrs. :)
As my first time - just posting here to open myself up for any constructive feedback :cool: and if it helps any other n00bs.
Also, making sure things are progressing as expected (I have no personal baseline yet) along the way.

I'll try to keep this updated as things progress. Please lean in if you see something detrimental!

Laying Date: 09/28/2024

Woke up Saturday morning - and made the morning rounds (axies, salt water tanks, guppy tanks (breeders, babies, etc)) and was elated to find Axy had started laying eggs. Let her finish her business for a day then collected.

    Hello. I’m looking for some input. My axolotl is about 7 months old. I came home and her gills are completely white. I was reading that they do shed around this age. Could this be why her gills are white? The ph is 6.5-7. Nitrates are 80 Nitrites 0.5

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu

    I believe my axolotl is constipated. I got him 8 days ago and have not seen any poop in his tank. I have a 20 gallon tank. No other tank mates. 2 hides and a bare bottom. I didn't feed him the last two days. His belly looks swollen and dark in color. I believe it is the food you can see. I fed him blood worms and soft quick sinking axoloty pellets. I tested his water today. Ph was 7.6. The nitrite and nitrate were both zero. The ammonia was 0.25 ppm. I was advised to cycle my tank due to the lack of nitrate. I added Seachem stability 10 ml to my tank yesterday and 5 ml today. I have a tank chiller. The water temp is set at 64. He is still active, but his tail floats up when he is moving about the tank. I am on the fence about fridging him. I also don't know how long to go without feeding him. I don't want to harm him. Please help asap. Thank you.
