I surprised sweet tooth didn't die
This is for my axolotl sweet tooth
Looking for safe axolotl enrichment ideas after losing one axolotl to a tank decoration. They only appeared sick after the decor was placed and I am scared of impaction so the tank looks very plain. He likes to play with the bubbles a lot but I’m afraid he’s bored most of the time. ^this is Lichen, the axolotl I lost.
So chunky. these pics are right after she got done eating 8 worms. Last pic is of my normal child that doesn’t gorge herself lol.
Compared to my other 3 he’s very social and certainly the hungriest.
I recently upgraded tank sizes and thought i did an appropriate transfer but it seems like he scraped himself on some decor but Im unsure on how to treat this, i lowered his tank temperature but I unfortunately can’t tub him since i have cats and have no where safe for him, can anyone help??😭😭😭
And to make this clear he was never originally mine im trying to rehab him as my grandparents were neglecting him
Hi everyone! I picked up two 2-3 inch axolotls today and was told they are just strong to grow their legs. It looks more to me like they were bitten off by their tank mates before I picked them up. I have them separated now, but am wondering if there is anything I can do to help them grow back?
Tootheless finally getting to enjoy the her plants after they started to grow
Im so happy I got a chiller if I didn't he would be dead
i've always been able to keep the temperature at a nice 60-65 but today my chiller decided to stop working and I don't get paid till Friday so I can't afford to just buy a new one immediately. The tank water is currently around 80°. im cycling frozen water bottles and using a fan right now, but the water temperature is not really changing. Should I put her in the fridge or should I wait till I can get a chiller like a week later?? the weather is 90° today but almost all of next week the high is gonna be 60° so should i just let her thug it out??? I really don't want her to get sick. She's still a baby.
What could cause a nitrite spike (over 5!) in an otherwise established tank?
No new changes to my feeding habits or anything, ammonia is 0, nitrates between 0-5. Typically do weekly to 25% water changes, nitrites were undetectable a couple of days ago.
(I’ve tubbed my axolotl while troubleshooting this)
Hola este ajolote estuvo en malas condiciones de agua y poco alimento bastante tiempo, solía estar así hace año y medio, que se puede hacer para que vuelvan a estar como estaban, ya tiene un nuevo hogar con buenos parámetros, bastante oxigenación y alimento con lombrices, pero en un mes no me visto cambios, que podría hacer ?
I have a new tank that I want to cycle while keeping my current tank if I place the new filter along with current filter in my current tank will it boost the new cycle or crash my current cycle
After I got the deserved backslash for the AI image in this post https://www.reddit.com/r/axolotls/s/sJxvgfCPLa here is now the watercolour image.
Not quite happy with it, because due to a lot of RL stress It was more of a side-project and I also used hot pressed paper so the Faber Castell Watercolour markers didn’t work as well as on cold pressed paper
i’ve notice small red spots on my axo, she’s been eating, and moving fine , gills are fluffy and not curved, peramaters are 0 nitrite 0 ammonia, and 0 nitrate (i have a lot of live plants) and ph is 7.6. i am unsure what they are caused by as my numbers are stable
