    Axolotl Bite

    Hi. We've had 2 axolotls in a 20gal long for 2 1/2 years. Today it looks like we got our first bite or bad scrape and am not sure what to do. I know they heal but should I take any action? Picture is attached

    Dead Axolotl

    Hello, My axolotl just died and I'm looking for answers as to why. Yesterday at about 3pm she looked okay, her gills were flared but her tail was straight. Sometimes she flips out after she poops (which she had just done) so I thought the stress sign was from that. Later at about 9pm her gills...

    Speed up cycle

    I have a 20 gal tank cycling for about a week and its still cloudy. I have two axolotls (3") that are supposed to be here Thursday and Im afraid it wont be ready for them. 1. Is there a way to speed up the cycling process? 2. Is it safe to keep axolotls in a tank while it finishes cycling?

    No Filter, No Cycle?

    Hi, I am an eager future to be AXOLOTL owner. I have done some research about cycling, and I don't really want to buy the products. Do you have to cycle, if you clean the tank on a scheduled basis without a filter and if so, how long should the scheduled basis be? (eg. once a week or everyday?)...

    Considering an axolotl

    I've been mulling over the idea of getting one or two axolotl for a while now. It's an idea I keep coming back to. So I think I'm going to give it a go. I know I need to cycle a tank for them first, and that's fine, affordable 10 gallon tanks are everywhere these days. But I have some questions...

    Axolotl! Best Way To Care For Them?

    Hi guys! I just snagged an Axolotl from my friend who breeds them. So far, I have the little bud in a thirty gallon tank all alone. I don't have any substrate in it, and just some pebbles(large) and some glass cut "rock". I also have a large pot type decoration that my new buddy hides behind a...

    Tt's Axolotl Adventure

    Hi guys, picked up a tank today for some axolotls! The dimensions are 36x14x18 inches and is 6mm glass. I've bought a 36 inch LED that is miles bright, will probably have to get some floating plants or something so the axolotls don't go blind :x The filter is an Aquaclear HOB rated for a tank...

    Fishless Cycle - Nitrites Have Suddenly Gone Missing.. Help!

    Hi everyone,   I've joined this forum as I've completely hit a brick wall as to where I have went wrong with my fishless cycle.   At the start of the year I bought a fish tank as I wanted to get an axolotl. I read online about fishless cycles (as a complete beginner to fish keeping) and so I...
