My hungry axo

[saints78]

Just a quick msg my friend put my new gold fish in my axo tank today while i went out for a for min and when i got back the gold fish was gone and there is only one answer where it has gone lol. the question is will my axo get ill from eating a 2inch fish or will it be ok and just not feed him for a few days now

good news he just brought the fish up

I am assuming that your new goldfish has not survived the encounter. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I think that you may need to explain to your "friend" the responsibility of keeping pets, why it is dangerous to both animals to mix axolotls and fish and why the possible injury or death of either or both animals is no laughing matter.

yes the gold fish did not survive and explained to y friend why its not a good idea to put fish with axo

If someone touched one of my animals/fish/axolotl, and it resulted in it being eaten I'd be pissed. Sounds like a pleb. Inhumain and inconsiderate

You also want to be very careful considering axolotls can get diseases and parasites via fish. That's why they aren't a popular feeding choice-- you'd either have to breed your fish or buy multitudes of them to quarantine so you knew they weren't disease-ridden. So, I think from all of us, tell your friend super firmly to never do something so dumb again. This didn't have to happen to that fish, and I wouldn't want to see your axolotl get sick because of it either.
