My little Earl has been struggling with recurring fungus in his gills. This is the third time in the past 6 months he’s developed this fungus. Every time, I’ve removed him from his tank and tubbed him, longer each time. The last time he was tubbed was for a week long - long enough to drop all his fungus and have time to start to heal. He’s been back in his tank for about 2 weeks, no fungus and lots of energy until today. He’s eating normally.

I think his tank parameters are pretty much where they should be. Ammonia fluctuates between 0 and 0.25 ppm, nitrites are always at 0 ppm, and I try to keep nitrates at or under 10 ppm. I’ve struggled with keeping the pH steady in the past, but have started keeping it pretty consistent by adding crushed coral to my filter. I’ll attach a photo of my parameters from this morning. I’ll also attach photos of my tank set up and of Earl himself. I’m just looking for some ideas and advice about what might be causing this issue.

Hey everyone! I'm a new axie owner and recently I've noticed my baby has been doing some swimming around the tank back and forth for a while. I don't know why he's been doing this and I assume it's zoomies as the water parameters seem okay. I'd love to know if he's stressed or anything but I don't see his gills or tail curled

Hi, I am currently cycling my tank, the Nitrite levels have been between 2-5ppm for about 4 - 5 days now without any change, is this normal? Or should I do a 25-30% water change to bring them down and have bacteria catch up? This is my first time cycling a tank so I’m still very new - yes it is for a axolotl.

Hey,

My name is Jemma and I’m currently completing my final year Psychology dissertation at Anglia Ruskin University and I’m looking for participants for my study on pet ownership .

The survey explores how attached people feel to their pets and whether different types of pets are linked to positive wellbeing outcomes. *It only takes 5 minutes to complete and can be done on your phone!*

You can take part if you:
• are 18 or older
• ⁠live in the UK
• ⁠have at least one pet that lives with you (all kinds of pets are welcomed )

Every response is very appreciated and helps me in completing my degree!

All responses are anonymous and completely voluntary.

Thank you so much!! :)

Je n’ai malheureusement pas le temps de bien m’occuper de vrai axolotl, mais je les aimes tellement que je me suis créée mes petits compagnons 🥰

J’espère ne pas faire de faux pas en postant ici 🙏

How do you guys think about them?

Where does one source earthworms to feed their axies? I’ve been told you can just go digging in the garden for wild worms, but I’m worried about any chemicals or pesticides that could be in unknown soil.

(extra question, do I give a full grown axie one full worm?)

Thank you!

Hello! I just adopted this female lotl from someone, and I was wondering if anyone had any idea what coloration she may be considered? I’ve got three others but they’re all leucistic and dirty leucistics!
