Axolotls can accidentally ingest rocks the size of their head or smaller when eating, which can be fatal -Axolotls like cool water with low flow, currents will stress them out -Provide at least one hide per axolotl, and keep in mind they do not like bright light -Axolotls will enjoy eating a varied diet containing: earthworms, frozen/fresh bloodworms, frozen brine shrimp, and salmon pellets -NO TANKMATES! Axolotls are not suited to share a tank with anything besides other axolotls. Any axolotls kept together must be of similar sizes. ​ _________________________________ **Good resources:** ​ •[caudata.org](https://www.caudata.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=48) ​ •[axolotl.org](http://www.axolotl.org/) ​ •[FAQ](http://www.axolotl.org/faq.htm) _____________________________ **Sick Axolotl?** ​ •[Fridging guide](http://www.caudata.org/forum/f46-beginner-newt-salamander-axolotl-help-topics/f48-axolotls-ambystoma-mexicanum/f58-sick-axolotl/85263-axolotl-fridging-guide.html) - For impacted/floaty lotls ​ •[Salt-bath guide](http://www.caudata.org/forum/f46-beginner-newt-salamander-axolotl-help-topics/f48-axolotls-ambystoma-mexicanum/f58-sick-axolotl/72698-salt-bath-picture-tutorial.html) - For skin/gill fungus __________________________ **Related subreddits:** ​ •[r/aquariums](http://www.reddit.com/r/Aquariums/) ​ •[r/fish](http://www.reddit.com/r/fish) ​ •[r/aww](http://www.reddit.com/r/aww/) ​ •[r/pets](http://www.reddit.com/r/Pets/) ​ **PLEASE**, no spam or posting any personal information! submitted by /u/hacelepues [link] [comments]

HELP- Fungus?? Posted: 01 Apr 2020 11:55 AM PDT Hi everyone! I got my axie about a month ago, and he'd been doing very well. But today I woke up to find some white/clearish spots on his gills? http://imgur.com/gallery/qjJ0AR4 I'm wondering if this is fungus? Any help is hugely appreciated! He's about 5 inches currently, and has not shown any changes in behavior. He's still eating, walking, and swimming just fine. Ammonia levels are .25 ppm. Don't know how it got to that but I'm going to do a water change today to bring that down. Nitrites are 0 ppm, Nitrates are 20 ppm, Temp is 64 degrees. Thanks again for helping! submitted by /u/bebtacular [link] [comments]

I need help! My axolotls gills are turned forward. Posted: 31 Mar 2020 11:41 PM PDT I've had the two of my axolotls for awhile, and they never seemed to have any problems. Up until one of my axolotls swam frantically into the glass, which I don't know could be the reason his gill is turned forward. I have a 20 gallon tank and two axolotls, along with a sponge filter but that's all. Someone please help me, I don't know if I should be worried or not. I have read they can become stressed, or maybe sick, or their gills are just very long. But I need answers, please anyone respond so I can help my babies! I can show pictures too submitted by /u/Trinnidy006 [link] [comments]
