Axolotls (ambystoma mexicanum)

TEMPERTURE

An easy way to kill your axolotl is to do a rapidly temperature change. When you use too many ice cubes or bottle ice this will change the water temperature too fast and you will kill your axolotl. It is better to maintain a high stable temperature than to rapidly change the temperature down.

The temperature of the aquarium is very important should be between 57 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Lower temperatures result in slow moving salamanders with slower metabolism, while higher temperatures than 75 will cause stress. Too high and the axolotl will die. If it is too cold this will only slow their metabolism. Too cold is better than too hot.

HOUSING
Axolotls should not share their living space with other animals especially fish smaller than their mouth because they will eat them. Also the fish will go after the axolotl's external gills. Axolotls 12 months and older Axolotls can live with other Axolotls because their cannibalistic phase should be over.

Axolotls are entirely aquatic and so a Aquarium Fish Tank is the ideal home. But you need to give your Axolotl enough room to move around. So a 10 gallon fish tank is good for up to 2 Axolotls. A good rule is for every 10 gallon you can have 2 Axolotls. A low long tank are better that a high tank. The Axolotl's tank should only have about 10 inches of water in it.

Filters are important but stay away from filters that produce a large current because the Axolotl like calm water with no current. A sponge filter works great. Axolotls will eat gravel in the tank so it is a good idea to use no gravel or to use smooth rocks that are lager than the size of the Axolotl mouth.

Axolotls enjoy plants, caves, and other decorations to hide in but make sure that the Axolotls it has plenty of room so that they cannot get trapped inside. Also if you decoration is painted and starts to lose it paint take it out immediately because the paint may be harm the Axolotl.

WATER
Axolotls like Clean Cold Water. You can use tap water for your water changes but let the water run so that it gets as cold as possible. You need to change water once per week and up to 100%.
It is better to change too much water than too little. If your tap water is safe for you to drink then it will be safe for an axolotl that is 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 you Axolotl. Axolotl have lungs and are air breathers and unlike fish that have 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 that may be on the axolotl or in the tank. Taking time to do water changes each week will greatly extend the life of your Axolotls. You should keep the water flow at a minimum because the water current can cause Axolotls to be stressed from fighting the current.  You will see that the Axolotl spend most of the time in the same spot, moving their gills occasionally to disperse carbon dioxide and circulate new oxygen. The water in the Axolotl's aquarium should have a pH of between 6.5 and 8. Axolotls prefer relatively hard water. If the tap water available is soft, it can be supplemented with added salts such as Holtfreter's and Steinberg's solutions.  

LIGHTING
Axolotls have a low light requirement please do not put your tank in direct sun light. Also the lighting should be fluorescent light with a low wattage lamp. Don't use bright lights or lights that generate any heat, this will help keep the temperature down in your aquarium.

FEEDING
In their native habitat, axolotls eat the abundant small fauna, including snails, worms, and crustaceans, various small invertebrates such as daphnia, and small fish and amphibians. They will in fact eat just about anything that will fit into their mouth, but this doesn’t mean they should. Generally they can be fed Black Worms and other frozen or fresh carnivore’s foods. Special axolotl food is available on this website

Avoid feeding them mince or other budget meats as they cannot tolerate fats. Any food that the axolotl doesn't eat should be removed after 24 hours otherwise it will begin to go rotten and spoil the water quality. Also any solid waste material should also be removed. If your axolotl is not eating be sure to check the water quality and temperature first.

AXOLOTL TANK MATES?
An important consideration for tank mates is that the Axolotls like cold water 57 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Axolotls cannot be kept with other fish because fish like to nip at the Axolotls gills. Also an Axolotls will eat any thing they can fit in their month including other smaller Axolotls. However, you do see Axolotls with small feeder fish, but these feeder fish are being used as a live food source for the Axolotl.

CONFLICTING AXOLOTL CARE INSTRUCTIONS
There are literally hundreds of Self-Appointed Armchair Axolotl Experts out there on the Internet and some these guys even have impressive sounding names like PhD. 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 PhD 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 VC-I we have over eight years of continuous practical experience in care and feeding of Axolotls. The information we provide on our website is time-tested, hands-on practical experience from working with our Axolotls. We continue to take a practical common sense approach in the care and feeding of our Axolotls and hope that you will too.

GENERAL

Axolotls are unique and easy to keep. They can live for up to 15 years and make an excellent pets and companions. Axolotls do not bite and have no claws.
