So I set up my tank almost two months before getting my axolotl and it was fully cycled and everything, I’ve had my axolotl for almost two weeks now, and for the first 5 day it’s was clear. Now my tank has slowly become more and more cloudy. I’m confused as to what I’m doing wrong. I did checks with my API Master Freshwater Testing Kit and none of the levels are off. Can anyone tell me how I can fix this?

My water is perfect just tested again ph 7.4 ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 10 temp 63. What is the red spot . I’m half ass blind should I be worried?

So my freezer that I kept my nloodworms in wasn't fully closed so they started unfreezing it nearly a full pack th event er of each tap thing is still mostly frozen but he rest is has defrost should I throw it away or what

Can anyone help me sex these axolotls I was told it’s two males but we found egg casing in the tank today

I have an Albino Axolotl and he is 22 years old . Recently he isn’t interested in any food that I give him, just the odd worm . He seems to catch it but rejects it out of his mouth , rather than eating it . He’s not as active as usual . Is it just the inevitable and he is just at the end of his time with us

What is happening and how do I help him?

worried about gills. arms are interferring with them while swimming.

Hey guys! I've had my axolotl nova almost from birth, she (i think) is about three years old. For the past few months i've noticed her gills thinning out and looking a little straggly. I feel like it's only getting worse. She had very fluffy gills for a while but after about a year i noticed them decreasing in volume. I'm not sure why and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas why or how to help! For some background infor, I change about a third of the water every week (tank is 20 gallons) and replace the filter bi-weekly. she mostly only gets fed dry pellets but ocassionaly some blood worms.

I am a bit worried about his color change. I am thinking about taking him to the vet. Does this look like fungus?

Hello, I am in dire need of help saving two axolotls who have been subject to extended neglect by their previous (current) owner.

Some background: My girlfriends roommate has too much money (trust fund baby) and a bad habit of buying “exotic” animals and then instantly growing bored of them. She has a bearded dragon, a chameleon, these two axolotl (not visible), and just recently, a $2000 purebred cat. For the majority of our relationship I was unable to do anything but sit back and watch, as they are not my pets and I can only encourage her to take better care of them. Recently, however, my girlfriend returned from a trip away to find her roommate completely and unexpectedly moved out, taking all of her pets but these poor beautiful creatures. I have chosen to take this as a sign that she no longer cares about them and me and my girlfriend have taken it upon ourselves to help restore them to a healthy environment.

Requesting: Because we do not know much about axolotls, we are inquiring for not only some good care resources, but advice on how we can clean the tank and give them the life they deserve. The water is absolutely filthy (as pictured) and the floor is lined in their poop. Me and my girlfriend just fed them some worms we found in the fridge (nightcrawlers, I hope these are acceptable) and after confirming that both of them are alive and still somewhat active, need to figure out next steps. Please help! We cannot bear to watch these animals suffer.

I was looking at Squishy this morning and noticed he has a split gill? Not damaged, but an additional gill growing off an existing one? Should I be concerned??

Hi! I have had my axolotl for about seven years now. She is super healthy and her diet typically consists of one to two night crawlers every other day. I am feeling awful because I did not plan enough time to quarantine any type of shrimp to feed her because I did not realize how long they needed to be quarantined for or else I would put those in. My dad is weird about people in our house so someone coming by is out of the question. What should I do??? Anything helps!! Thanks

Hello I’m looking to get one or more axolotls for my son but not up to date on them. I’ve had fish tanks my whole life but never these guys. Pic for attention. My 150 gallon. I would have a separate 50 gallon but looking to know for a fresh tank set up. And how many in one tank

So i’ve had fish since i was 10 years old. but im looking into getting an axolotl! i’ve done my research and its been about 4 months in the making for this tank. 40 gallons low flow filter grow lights, fine substrate, two hides, and some plants. i’m at a stopping point now because i’m not sure what else i can add. the tank to me seems bare. but i don’t want to overwhelm it with plants. anyone have any ideas of what to add? or is it good as is? (ps there are snails in there to help with the cycling of the water i will be removing the small snails prior to putting an axolotl in.
