The Possession of Water Dragons (Axolotls) is illegal in the State of California CA and New Jersey NJ.

Does a Water Dragon (Axolotl) need a hiding place?
Water Dragons (Axolotls) do need a hiding place. I use a PVC 4" inch size pipe that has been cut in half the long way so that it is about 6"- 8" inches long. I like using PVC pipe because there is no paint on it.

What is the best way to separate Water Dragons (Axolotl) during the cannibalistic stage?
The easiest way to separate Qty 2 Water Dragons (Axolotls) during the cannibalistic stage is to buy an aquarium tank divider. Aquarium tank divider is low cost solution; under $10 for a 10 gallon aquarium. However, you do need to make sure that the water level is a least one inch below the top of the tank divider. This will make sure that they cannot climb over your tank divider.

Do Water Dragons (Axolotls) eat gravel?
Yes your Water Dragons will eat sand, gravel and small river rock and they can die from it. Water Dragons will eat anything they can fit in their months. I do not recommend because over time it will clog your drain. If you use Slate, by either placing it inside or outside your tank. Also you can put Sand, Gravel or Small Pebbles under your tank. Now that Sand, Gravel or Small Pebbles are under your tank, it will be impossible for your Water Dragon to Eat It.

What is better than sand or gravel to use on the bottom of my tank?
I recommend that you use Slate. Slate is a natural stone that comes in many different colors. You can buy it at your local home centers. You can also use Slate to make attractive terraces and hiding place in your tank. Just remember to remove any of the sharp edges on the Slate so that your Water Dragon can not get injure. By using Slate you can make a very attractive tank without the danger of your Water Dragon dying from eating gravel or too much sand. Using Slate will make cleaning your tank easier; when you siphon the waste and old food off the bottom of your tank, you will not siphon any sand or any gravel out of your tank.

When you use Slate to design the bottom of the tank you can include a terrace, Water Dragon hiding place and pots where the plastic plants will be put in. To glue your Slate together you will need to buy 100% silicone rubber sealant clear color; and make sure that it states on the back of the tube; that it is ”safe for food contact”. I recommend a drying time of 72 hours. You will also need to buy or rent a tile cutter to cut out your design. You can find them at your local Home Center. Make sure that there are no sharp edges that a Water Dragon can not get injure. When you are done with your design; you will have a great home for your Water Dragon. It will be very easy to clean and maintain. Your design will be very attractive too, without endangering the life of your Water Dragon, as sand and gravel do endanger the life of your Water Dragon if eaten.

Can I use Play Sand in my Water Dragon Tank?
Yes you can use play sand. However, your Water Dragon will eat the sand and by doing so will endanger its life. This is why I do not use and or recommend it. To clean the sand will take some time because it has a fair amount of clay and can be quite dirty. So you need to thoroughly rinse the play sand to get the clay out. Play sand is also very affordable.

How do I clean my tank/aquarium?
You should NOT use any soaps to clean your tank, they contain chemicals that could kill your Water Dragons. Just use clean water and a new plastic scouring pad. That is all that you need to clean a tank. If you are using a tank that had another animal in it, then you need to use regular bleach to remove anything in your tank that may be harmful to your Water Dragon. Next give it a good rinse to get all the bleach out of the tank and then your tank is ready to use.  

How do I clean the driftwood?
What I recommend that you do is to put the driftwood in a “New Bucket” that has never had any chemicals in it like soap, etc. Then do 100% water change every day for a week, this will wash any chemicals that may be on the driftwood. Leave the chlorine in the water. By leaving the chlorine in your water it will kill any harmful bacteria that may also be on the driftwood.

What about Water Dragons (Axolotl) Tank Mates?
An important consideration for tank mates is that the Water Dragons (Axolotls) like cold water 57 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Water Dragons cannot be kept with other fish because fish like to nip at the Water Dragon gills. Also a Water Dragon will eat any thing they can fit in their month including other smaller Water Dragons. However, you do see Water Dragons with small feeder fish; like Rosy Minnows, small Gold Fish and Guppies, but these fish are being used as a live food source for the Water Dragon.

What is the best way to transport my Water Dragon?

Just reused all the shipping materials you get from Buy-Axolotls.com

What about the water? 
Water Dragons (Axolotls) like Cold (below 72°F) Clean Water. If your tap water is safe for you to drink then it will be safe for a Water Dragon that are 3 months or older, so you can leave the chlorine in your water. However, if your tap water is not safe to drink then it would not be safe for your Water Dragon. You will need to check with your local government to see how you can make your water safe for drinking, either by using water filters and or a reverse osmosis water filter.

If you can use tap water for your water changes but let the water run so that it gets as cold as possible. Whether you have a filter in your tank or not you still need do 90%water change once per week. It is better to change too much water than too little. By doing water changes every week this will help stop the build up of Ammonia and Nitrite levels in your tank. Ammonia (cause by the Water Dragon's Urine) and the Nitrite (cause by the Water Dragon's Waste and Rotting Food) that is in the water. If you do not do water changes the 1 per week you will be removing 90% of the Ammonia and Nitrite in your aquarium. If you do not do weekly water changes then the levels of Ammonia and Nitrite in your aquarium will reach levels that will kill your Water Dragon. So it very important that you do water changes 1 per week. Doing water changes each week will greatly extend the life of your Water Dragons.

Water Dragons have lungs like we do and are air breathers, unlike fish that has gills and would breathe the chlorine in the water. The chlorine will turn into a gas and be out of the tank within 24 hrs. By leaving the chlorine in your water it will kill any harmful bacteria and fungus that may be on the Water Dragons or in the tank.

One last point regarding chlorine, as you know swimming pools have chlorine levels that are 1,000s of times higher than drinking water. Can you please tell me how many people have died from swimming in chlorinated pools? Please include Babies and competitive Swimmer who swim up to 4 hrs per day in a chlorinated pool; in your total. ... And the ANSWER is 0 ... No person has ever die from swimming in a chlorinated pool, which has chlorine levels 1,000s of times higher than drinking water; because Water Dragons and Humans are air breather and use their lungs to breath the Air not the Water. By taking time to do water changes each week will greatly extend the life of your Water Dragons.

How do I do a water change? 

The first thing you need to do is remove the Water Dragon from the tank. You can do this by using a big net so that your Water Dragon cannot jump out. Put the Water Dragon in a plastic shoe box (one shoe box for each Water Dragon), you can buy at any store; make sure that has never been contaminated by soap and any other chemicals that may harm your Water Dragon. Make sure that this container has enough water to cover the Water Dragon completely. If you have Juveniles then you need to keep them is separate containers. 

Now that your Water Dragon is out of the tank and in a safe place you can now siphon the tank water to a nearby floor drain (shower) by using a 5/8 inch diameter siphon hose; that will reach a floor drain.

If you do not have a floor drain, then you need to buy a new 5 gallon bucket.  By buying a new 5 gallon bucket will make sure that this bucket has never been contaminated by soap and any other chemicals that may kill your Water Dragon. You need 5/8 inch diameter (or larger) that is 5 feet long clear plastic siphon hose that you can buy at any home center. Now siphon water out to a 5 gallon bucket. If you do not have a have a 10 gallon tank then they should take you to three trips before all the water is removed from the tank.

To fill your tank you will need to buy a Water Quality Drinking Hose to fill your tank. If do not have a hose connection nearby then fill your tank up using the New 5 gallon bucket.

In the summer; use only cold water; let it run for a minute or two, so that it gets as cold as possible.

My water is cloudy what should I do?
If you just did water change and you have Sand at the bottom of your tank, then wait 24 hours and it should go a way. If your water is still cloudy and you did not do a 90% water change then you need to do one as soon as possible. The cloudy water is from too much waste and or too much uneaten food. Your Water Dragon will live longer if you keep the water as clean as possible.  

What should I do when I am aware of a health problem with my Water Dragon?

My axolotl is not moving, is this normal? 
A Water Dragon (Axolotl) will typically spend most of their time relatively motionless on the bottom of the tank. However, if you have live food in with your Water Dragon, like a live Rosy Minnow or live worms, then their predator instinct will take over and your Water Dragon will try to find a way to get some lunch. Water Dragons will try to catch live food is by ambushing it, rather than chase it. We at Buy-Axolotls.com we feed our “Water Dragons floating pellets” rather than sinking pellets. Because Water Dragons have their eyes on top of their head, they are always searching above for possible food opportunities. When you do see your Water Dragon move it is usually because they need to get a gulp of air. Water Dragons have lungs like us and need to come to the surface of the water in order to breathe.  Water Dragon also flicks their gills from time to time.

Are Water Dragons Eco-Friendly? 
Yes, Water Dragons are Eco-Friendly and have a very small carbon footprint because they do not require the use of electricity. You do not need a tank light or filtration system (if you do weekly water changes); because of this Water Dragons are one of the most Eco-Friendly pet.

Yes, Water Dragons are completely child friendly; they do not bite, have no claws and are not poisonous. Also Water Dragons do not breathe fire. Because of this Water Dragons do not require any safety precautions

Can I hold my Axolotl?
I don't recommend that you hold your axolotl. First of all your axolotl has a protective slime coat and by holding him you would remove some of that protection. Also axolotl's protect themselves by doing a tail flip that turns the axolotl 90° in less than a second, if your axolotl should accidentally fall out of your hand he would probably die. The reason for this is that the skeleton of the axolotl is very delicate because he spends his entire life in water. So any fall would probably kill your axolotl.  

How often do you feed a Water Dragon? 
I feed my Juveniles Water Dragons 3 times per week; Monday, Wednesday and Friday. After 24 hrs on; Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. I feed my Adults Water Dragons 2 pellets per Adult every day because I want to have food in the tank if they are hungry. I remove all uneaten food and waste to prevent the growth of fungus and bacteria in your tank. You can remove all uneaten food and waste with a net; or you can use a 1/4 siphon hose (about 4ft long) to get all the uneaten food and waste out, by siphoning it to a bucket. You can buy the tubing/hose at Homedepot or any other home center. It is better to feed too little than too much.  

How much food do I feed my Water Dragon?
This amount will change over time, for now start feeding for Qty 1 Water Dragon (3 to 4 inches Long) 2 pellets or 6 bloodworms per feeding. When you see that they are eating all of food a majority of time you can start feeding 3 pellets or 8 bloodworms per feeding (and so on). You must remove all uneaten food and waste to prevent the growth of fungus and bacteria in your tank. You can remove all uneaten food and waste with a small net. I find it easier to use a 1/4 siphon hose (about 4ft long) to get all the uneaten food and waste out, by siphoning it to a bucket. You can buy the tubing/hose at Homedepot or any other home center. It is better to feed too little than too much.

Then present it to your Water Dragon's mouth. He should eat it. Depending on the size Water Dragons they will eat 2-3 to Rosy Minnows per week. It is important that the Rosy Minnows are smaller than your Water Dragon’s mouth. Also make sure that you buy healthy Rosy Minnows that are not sick. If a minnow is sick, take it out so that it cannot be eaten. Rosy Minnows are a great food source for an Adult Water Dragon (Axolotl)

Feed as many worms as your Water Dragon (axolotl) will eat and feed your Water Dragon (axolotl) three times per week. Remove any uneaten food after 24 hours so that your axolotl will not eat food that is contaminated with bacteria. You can remove the uneaten food with a net or siphon it out by using a 1/4 inch tubing about 4 ft long that you can buy at Homedepot or any other home center.

The best way to feed frozen Bloodworms is to is to first let them defrost in a cup; then you need to use a brine shrimp net to wash out the blood before feeding. If you do not wash out all the blood, it will make your tank water cloudy and that will cause the water to be unhealthy condition for your Water Dragons. When feeding Bloodworms you can use a tweezers and present the Bloodworms in front of your Water Dragon (axolotl's) mouth. Feed as many frozen Bloodworms or live California Blackworms as your Water Dragon (axolotl) will eat and feed your Water Dragon (axolotl) three times per week. Remove any uneaten food after 24 hours so that your axolotl will not eat food that is contaminated with bacteria. You can remove the uneaten food with a net or siphon; using siphon is a fast and easy way to clean the bottom of your tank.

What is the best way to feed my Water Dragon while on vacation?
I would recommend that you buy Rosy Minnows. Petsmart and Petco sells these feeder fish for about 15 cents each. You need to lower the tank water to be about 1 inch above your axolotl's head so that he's able to reach the feeder fish. Also it is important that the feeder fish are smaller than your Water Dragon’s mouth.

A Water Dragon (Axolotl) produces about 2 to 3 pieces of solid waste per week. The waste can easily be cleaned up by using a small net.

Would a Water Dragon (Axolotl) be suited for a garden pond?
It really depends on the temperature of your water. If your pond temperature stays below 72° and above freezing and does not ice over during the wintertime; then it is possible to put (axolotls) Water Dragons in your pond.

I do not recommend that you put Koi or any other type of Goldfish in your pond, because Koi and Goldfish grow much bigger than the (axolotl) Water Dragon and they may bully or even look at your Water Dragon as a possible food source. What I recommend is that you put minnows in your pond. Minnows our excellent food source for your Water Dragons and very entertaining to watch because minnows like to school together. 

Is a Water Dragon (axolotl) disease-prone? 
Water Dragons are very hardy animals, however they are prone to a bacterial and fungal problem if you do not do change the water weekly or if the water temperature is too high you will be putting your Water Dragon at risk for these problems. I also recommend that you keep the chlorine in the water as a preventative to kill any bacterial and fungal problem that may be on your Water Dragon or in your tank. 

My Water Dragon sick and won’t eat what should I do?
First, put your Water Dragon in a 2 1/2 Gallon tank and do water changes every day, because your tank may have high levels of Ammonia and Nitrite. By doing a 100% water change you will be removing 100% of the Ammonia and Nitrite in the tank.

If they still will not eat, try feeding LIVE food like; Rosy Minnows or Californian Black Worms or Red Wiggler Worms. You can buy them at Petsmart and Petco or your local tropical fish store. If your Water Dragon is big enough you can feed them Rosy Minnows. Use a net and catch a Rosy Minnow then grab the Rosy Minnows by the tail fin. Then present it to your Water Dragon's mouth.

I have noticed my Water Dragon (axolotl) is floating around on top of the tank. Is there a problem? 
This behavior should not be a problem; most times it is just normal behavior for a Water Dragon (Axolotl). However, if your axolotl is struggling to reach the bottom of the tank, then you may have a medical problem. Simply put; this is a blockage of your Water Dragon digestion track. When your Water Dragon adds air to its digestion track then you will have positive buoyancy. If your Water Dragon struggle to get to the bottom of the tank then you need to treat for your Water Dragon. There is a simple but effective way for treatment for this condition. You can either use a laxative or a stool softener. First you need to liquefy either the laxative or the stool softener, the best way to do this is to use a pan on top of a stove add 3 to 4 times water to liquefy the laxative or stool softener. I would recommend that you make more then you need so that it will be available if condition ever happens again. After your laxative or stool softeners has liquefied then pour it in to a glass jar and let it cool. You can shake the jar so that it will produce foam on top of the jar. Use 4 to 5 spoonfuls of foam in a 2 1/2 gallon sick tank. Usually you will see positive results within 2 to 3 days.

My room temperature is around 76F with no cooling what do you recommend? 
I would recommend that you put the tank on the floor or buy a Water Chiller or you can make a Water Chiller (See Above for DYI Water Chiller). It should be cooler on the floor away from any heating vents. You need to maintain a temperature of less than 72F degrees.

My Water Dragons do not move around is some thing wrong?

I had two Water Dragon (axolotl) and now they are both dead. Can you tell me what happen? 
More often than not, when you have two or more Water Dragons die at the same time in the same tank the cause is usually chemicals based. Either, you did not change the water and there was ammonia build up in your tank or chemicals like cleaning solutions came in contact with your tank. You need to make sure that you only use clean water to clean you tank and the 5 gallon bucket you use has never had any chemicals like cleaning solutions in it. Also make sure that you change your water weekly to avoid the build up of ammonia that comes from your Water Dragon’s urine.

Should I use ice bottles to keep the temperature down? 
Please do not use ice bottles, you can kill your Water Dragon (Axolotl). Changing temperature rapidly is an easy way to kill your Water Dragon than if you maintain a high stable temperature. Ice bottles cause the temperature to go down too fast. After the ice melts the temperature will begin to climb back up once again. This is a very effective way to kill your Water Dragon because the temperature changes are too rapidly. 

I understand that axolotls in the cannibalistic stage cannot be housed together. Does this apply to all types of Water Dragons (Axolotls)?

If your Water Dragons is less than 6 inches long you will need to either use a tank divider or separate tank to house these Water Dragons. 

My Water Dragon (axolotl) skin is peeling off / shedding off. What should I do?
This is normal for a Water Dragon (axolotl) peeling off / shedding off their skin. Put your Water Dragon in a 2 1/2 Gallon tank and do water changes every day. You need to maintain the best possible water quality; Cold Clean Water every day. Remove any uneaten food and waste after 12 hours so that your Water Dragon will not eat food that is contaminated with bacteria. During this time feed your Water Dragon (axolotl) frozen bloodworms until the skin has peeled off / shed off is completely.

What do I do when a Water Dragon (axolotl) gets one of its legs bitten off?
The first thing you need to know about Water Dragons (axolotl) is that if a Water Dragon is cannibalistic; this is learned and remembered behavior and that Water Dragon will be cannibalistic for the rest of its life. (This is why at Buy Axolotls.com we separate all our Water Dragons at birth so that they never learn this cannibalistic behavior) You need to remove the cannibalistic Water Dragon from your tank so that it will not have contact with any other Water Dragons. Otherwise more Water Dragons will be damaged by the cannibalistic one.

It will take your Water Dragon (axolotl) and least 10 weeks to grow back the missing leg. Put your injured Water Dragon axolotl in a sick tank. A good size for a sick is 2 1/2 gallon tank. At Buy-Axolotls.com we prefer to use 2 1/2 gallon tanks because they are easy to move around. You will need to do at least three 100% water changes every day and use a water conditioner/stress coat after each water change. By using the water conditioner/stress coat will help rebuild your Water Dragons slime coat over the wounded area and help prevent infections. You should also add a teaspoon of API Aquarium Salt in the tank to keep the bacteria level low and will help as an anti-fungal solution in the sick tank. It is better to use too little Salt that too much. If you over medicate your Water Dragon, it will Die.

Is a forum a good place to find information regarding the care and feeding of Water Dragons (axolotls)?
A forum is the worst places to find reliable information regarding the care and feeding of Water Dragons (axolotls). When you read these posting on a forum you will quickly see that there are 20 different people with 20 different answers and all of them believe that they are correct. If you want reliable information regarding the care and feeding of Water Dragons then you need to go to a website that specializes in only Water Dragons.

I found Websites that have conflicting information regarding the care and feeding of Water Dragon (Axolotls), what should I do?
There are literally hundreds of Self-Appointed Armchair Water Dragon (Axolotl) Experts out there on the Internet and some these guys even have impressive sounding names like PH.D. If you put 100 of these so-called Axolotl experts in one room you would have 100 different opinions. A vast majority of these internet posting are only from book knowledge or from very limited personal experience breeding axolotls. So a good question to ask these so-called Axolotl experts: Are you currently breeding Axolotls? If so how long?

More importantly, you need to understand what is motivating the writer to make these postings.  Are these postings emotional? Or are they trying to scare you? Or do they try to make you think that you need a PH.D. to raise an Axolotl? Could the real purpose be that they want you to join a club or send a donation? If so, the information they are posting is probably questionable at best. 

At Buy-Axolotls.com we have over eight years of continuous practical experience in care and feeding of Water Dragons (Axolotls). The information we provide on our website is time-tested, hands-on practical experience from working with our Water Dragons. We continue to take a practical common sense approach in the care and feeding of our Water Dragons and hope that you will too. 

All Military Personnel that are currently serving in the U.S. Military we offer you 10% discount off any purchase of a Water Dragon (Axolotl).  Thank you, for all that you do.
