Saying Hi from Mi

[alexismommy23]

Just posting to say Hi and join in on the posting fun! I have owned axolotls for about a year and just 6 months ago started breeding and selling locally. I have 9 adults of all different types and many babies! :bowl:

They look very healthy
Love the big wild types!

My concern would be the size of some of those pebbles look like they could easily be swallowed >_<

Having seen some of the X-rays on here showing similar size pebbles lodged inside an axie I'd be steering clear of the pebbles (also for cleaning they're not the best option). Also I'm a big fan of live plants, plastic do not offer the tank as much as some live plants do.

Hi,
Thanks for sharing your pictures. Your axies all look gorgeous. I hope mine look like that when they grow up. Noticed your later pictures of them on sand.

I've had no issues with the pebbles. The sand, they hate they would perch on the logs and rocks, they didn't like it very much. I am looking to switch to a different bottom besides sand and gravel.

Axolotls will swallow substrate. If the pebbles are large enough to be swallowed but too small to pass through the digestive tract, they will cause impaction. This can be deadly.
