I have officially had my girls for one year and I am crying tears of joy at their transformation since then (first pic: day one. Second pic: today. They were 2.5 years old when I got them).

I gave him a new hide but no, must squish himself between it and the glass

These are my first axolotls after months of research and proving I could care for an aquarium with a betta tank.

Advice For my Setup

Posted: 01 Oct 2020 07:27 AM PDT

Hey guys! I currently have a 29 gal tall with some sand substrate and a the following plants: * java fern * Anubias * Marimo moss balls I have a seachem tidal 55 filter. Basically what I'm wondering is, will this setup be good for an axolotl? What are some tips you can give me for caring for one? I want to do thorough research and know if it's possible before actually buying one!

Having trouble in-cycling an axolotl tank

Posted: 30 Sep 2020 11:09 PM PDT

I have an axolotl tank that is refusing to cycle, and I can't seem to figure out why.

When I first got my axolotl, Roy, I didn't know too much about cycling, and assumed it would cycle within a week. That was almost two months ago, and I'm starting to run out of ideas.

I have a 60L tank (roughly 15 gallons) with one axolotl, who is about 15-20cm. I use a Tidal 35 hang on back filter, with a coarse sponge and a bag of gravel for bacteria to attach to. The tank has river rocks along the bottom, and is moderately planted. Temperature fluctuates a bit, but usually sits between 18-20C. pH is about 7-7.5, gH is 12ish and kH is about 8.

I've been carefully monitoring the tank, and I've never picked up any nitrate or nitrate. Ammonia goes up steadily, and I do a water change every 4 or 5 days when it reaches about 1ppm. Roy has never shown signs of stress, apart from swimming into the glass a lot. No ammonia burns either as far as I can tell.

I've tried using API Quick Start, Seachem Stability, as well as transferring filter media and gravel from both a tropical tank and my outdoor pond.

I thought that the filter might not be powerful enough. However I'm not sure if this is the case. The way I see it, if the filter wasn't powerful enough, but the tank was otherwise cycled, I would still be measuring some nitrites/nitrates. This is just my personal logic, so correct me if I'm wrong.

I also thought that there could be nitrates in my tank, but they are being absorbed by plants before I can measure them. I don't think this is true either, as I measure nitrites daily, and nitrates before each water change. I have never measured anything except 0.

I can think of 2 main options going forward:

  1. Asking my LFS for some of the filter media from their axolotl tank.
  2. Taking the axolotl out of tank and raising the ammonia much higher - he would have to go in an uncycled tank for the as long as his old tank takes to cycle however.

TL;DR Two month old axolotl tank has never shown any nitrites/nitrates. Looking for advice on cycling.

I appreciate any advice you guys can give, so thanks in advance for the help.

HELP-Very small lumps on gills

Posted: 01 Oct 2020 01:16 AM PDT

Hello! I noticed two extremely small lumps, like 1 mm diameter spheres, on the gills of one of my three axies. They are not on the fluffy portion of the gill, and they do not look fluffy as a fungus either. The two tank mates have not developed anything like that. I tried to take a picture but they are too small to see on camera. However they developed over the course of 1-2 days so I am concerned. Main water paramethers are as usual: Temperature: 21°C Ammonia: 0ppm NO2 0 ppm NO3 0.01 ppm Ph 7.2 (it changed a little bit a week ago when I added a new piece of driftwood)

I have a double canister filter and a chiller. But they malfunctioned yesterday so I am now taking them apart. Room temperature is 22°C still, so no problem with that. The tank is a 1.2 m long, a little above 30 gallons, holding three male axolotls. Any ideas?

Axie acting strange

Posted: 30 Sep 2020 11:37 PM PDT

Toothless seems to be showing weird behavior during feeding, he seems to have interest and tries to eat but he just runs into it he does the normal action of eating like the running and the moving backwards but he never opens his mouth and when he does he misses them doesn't do it again for a while
