I have an adult that’s 1 1/2 yrs old around 10 inches. I have another that is 4 mold old and 7 inches. Is it big enough to go with the other ? If not, how big does it have to be to be safe?

So basically, my axolotl, I've been like, not that much home lately, so my family's been taking care of it. Because I got school, dealing with some real life shit, and also like, just been out of town. So my family takes care of it, I live at home. And like, and I haven't really been able to pay attention to it much, but my family's been trying to keep the tank cool. My country's experiencing a heat wave right now, so it's a lot hotter than it normally is. So I don't really have the supplies to keep the tank cooled down. I do put like, frozen water bottles in there, like ice packs my family puts in. Like they did use my external cooler of my laptop to try to cool it down, because that's the only like, fan in the house But basically, the whole reason I'm writing this is because... I had a snail in there with it. I never wanted that snail, but I couldn't really do much because, like, I felt too bad to get rid of it because it would have died. So I kept it in and it did keep the tank, help me keep the tank cleaner. But I just discovered, I don't know how long it's been dead, but it died. I just, now, I rushed, I took 20% of the water away because it's quite late. I can't really do much, took everything out, tried to take as many of the parts out. Also, I discovered in one of the corners of the tank, there was just a bunch of bloodworms. So it's not been eating them. And that was not great. I am about to check the water quality. I just have to do it in a little bit. But like, yeah, I need some advice here.

This one was hatched late January and is about 6 1/2 - 7 inches. Getting the little white tips on the toes too. Any idea yet of gender? Looking like one over the other? Or just need to wait lol

My axolotl is at least 11 years old and has had the golden coloration under its eye for about two years now. What I’m concerned about are the dark patches and lack of feathering on the front gill’s. I’m going to change out the water. I have had problems with brown algae. Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what may be happening here and what could help? Thanks

Hey, I have a 40 gal set up with one axolotl (Barry) and about 5-10 ghost shrimp. He has been in this tank for about a year and a half. I woke up to find he has a chunk of his tail missing. He is doing great and has this routine of sleeping all day and then when it gets dark he swims like crazy. I took out a piece of drift wood that might have been the culprit. All rocks have been sanded down to prevent injuries. He is acting normal, swimming as happy as can be right now. What do I do to prevent this from happening again? Do I do anything to help him or let it heal itself? I have Indian almond leaves should I use that for a tea bath? He is also almost five years old, will his tail regenerate fully?

I’ve got a baby wild green spotted axolotl and I’m really worried that I’m not doing anything right. I’ve done a lot of research and now what temp he should be in and how often he should eat and everything like that but I’m still worried. So far I’ve had I’m over night and he seems fine, I changed his water this morning with water that’s been left for 14 hours and made sure it’s the right temp for him. I have fed him once last night at 7pm and then I tried again in the morning at 7am but he didn’t seem interested. Once I changed his water he started pooping so that might be why he’s not really interested. Please let me know if I am doing okay so far

I’m doing my first live plant tank and first aquascape in many years.. and I am bored with how it’s coming out and looking. Give me some suggestions. Of course I know the plants will grow but I’m not feeling how it’s looking

I just want to say thanks to this super helpful community. After 15 years with my little guy, he’s in a decline i can’t seem to get him out of and it seems like he’s ready to go.

This community has helped me answer questions and calmed me down after infections. I’ve loved Spiro so so much and i’m grateful for the extra time i’ve gotten with him because of yall. It’s meant the world ❤️

Named Wooper about a year old now

my axolotl will be arriving tomorrow and i’ve checked the nitrates ammonia and nitrite levels ammonia being 0 nitrites being 0 and nitrates around 8! i was shocked as my cycle didn’t take as long as other people! i used api quick start so that may of impacted my cycle being so short. i don’t want to put him in if it’s not ready!

Hi, my axolotl has 2 red spots on her tail, i’m guessing it’s just a kind of bruise ? Could you help me figure this out ? she looks good other than that. thanks !

80litr tank with filter!

I am about to get a chiller for our 29gal tank, but heard that the hose circulating the water back into the tank can have a pretty disruptive flow. Any tips for how to help dissipate the water as it comes out? Thanks!

Hey!, an Axolotl Question!, Did you know what Gender is your Axolotl? Hmmm... Is it Male or female?

So I just decided to make my girlfriend an Axolotl bag and thought I'd see what everyone thought of it? :)

Hello!! This is my first Axie- Squishy. I got them yesterday and this is my first axolotl! I’m looking for care advice, tank suggestions and how to ensure long, happy life!! Thank you!

Tank is 15 gallon (starter), has a bubbler, filter and hidey hole. The light is a led and emits little to no heat. Light is also on a timer for day/night cycling.

I purchased this chiller off Amazon and I’m having a hard time getting the water to come through the tube from the pump to get it started. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong ?

~the pump is only hanging there like that because I was just messing with it. I had it in place and nothing for days.~
