If you do water changes the 1 per week you will be removing 90% of the Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate in your aquarium. If you do not do weekly water changes then the levels of Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate 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.

How often do you feed Juvenile Water Dragon Under 6 inches? 
Feed Juveniles Water Dragons Frozen Blood Worms, you can buy the 8 or 16 oz Flat Pack at PetSmart or Petco for the best value. Feed them 3 times per week; Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Every day remove all uneaten food and waste to prevent the growth of fungus and bacteria in your tank. Also feed them live food; Live Red Wiggles (buy them at Walmart in the Fishing section) feed Qty 1 every 2 weeks. Every day remove all uneaten food and waste to prevent the growth of fungus and bacteria in your tank. It is better to feed too little than too much. Too much food will cause health problems.

The best way to remove all the uneaten food and waste is to buy a siphon hose at Home Depot in their plumbing department. The manufacture is Watts the model number is 42141425 description; Polyethylene Tubing 3/8″ x1/4” x 25 ft long. The cost is about $6.00 dollars. Cut it to 6 feet long. This is a great tool to take out any uneaten food and waste from your aquarium into a new 5 gallon bucket. It is better to feed too little than too much. Too much food will cause health problems.

How do I feed Frozen Blood Worms?
The first thing you need to know is what Frozen Blood Worms do you need to buy. Do not buy Frozen Blood Worms are in individual packets because these Frozen Blood Worms are 50% water and 50% Frozen Blood Worms. Instead buy the half pound package of Frozen Blood Worms or the full pound package of Frozen Blood Worms; you will get more Frozen Blood Worms and less water. You buy Frozen Blood Worms at any PetSmart, Petco and your local tropical fish store.

I feed Frozen Blood Worms to Water Dragons that are less than 6 inches long. After they are 6 inches long then I feed them Water Dragon pellets. I feed my Water Dragons every day.  Here is the process that I use; first I break off some Frozen Blood Worms from the package. You can use an adjustable wrench to break off pieces of frozen blood worms from the package. If you don’t have an adjustable wrench you can use a pliers. Them in a cup with water to let them defrost. After they have the defrosted I use the tweezers to gather a bunch of Blood Worms and then I put the Blood Worms in front of your Water Dragons mouth and after Water Dragon has bitten into the bunch of Blood Worms are let go of the tweezers and let him eat everything that he grabbed. Doing it this way you will have very little clean up of food and less of a chance of having the aquarium water go bad. To put back the extra Blood Worms, all you need to do is to pour them in a Small Aquarium Net and wait until all the water runs out. Then use a small spoon to remove the Blood Worms from the net and put the back in the Blood Worm package and then back in to the freezer. Every day you need to remove all the uneaten food and waste. The best way to do that is to buy a siphon hose at Home Depot in their plumbing department. The manufacture is Watts the model number is 42141425 description; Polyethylene Tubing 3/8″ x1/4” x 25 ft long. The cost is about $6.00 dollars. Cut it to 6 feet long. This is a great tool to take out any uneaten food and waste from your aquarium into a new 5 gallon bucket. It is better to feed too little than too much. Too much food will cause health problems.

How do I know if I am feeding the right amount of Frozen Blood Worms? 
For a Juvenile Axolotl 3 to 5 inches long, count the number of Frozen Blood Worms the Axolotl will eat. Example if the number is qty 15 blood worms then feed a little more Qty 20 Frozen Blood Worms that day.  The Qty Frozen Blood Worms will increase as the Water Dragon gets bigger. Only feed your Axolotl three times per week. It is better to under feed than over feed. Over feeding will cause health problems.

How often do you feed Adult Water Dragons 6 inches and over?
Feed your adults Water Dragons that are 6 inches and over every day. Quantity 1 Axolotl pellet to one adult Water Dragon. Also vary their diet, to include live food, frozen food. Also feed them live food; Live Red Wiggles 1 per week. Feeding your adults Water Dragons every day will make sure that the adults are well nourish. Every day you need to remove all the uneaten food and waste.

How do I straighten out my siphon hose?
It is very easy to do. Grab two feet of hose and reverse bend the to a U shape. Do this until the hose shape is what you want.

You can buy Rosy Minnows at Petsmart or Petco for about 15 cents each. Before you feed Rosy Minnows you need to drain all the water from the bag because it may be contaminated with bacteria. You should put the minnows is a separate tank/bucket with water that has been aged for one day; with no chlorine. The best way to feed Rosy Minnows is to use a net and catch one then use a tweezers and grab the Rosy Minnows buy its tail fin. 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)

Rosy Minnows

When feeding worms like Red Wiggler Worms or Night crawlers Worms, you need to chop them up into bite size portions. Every day you need to remove all the uneaten food and waste.

How do I feed Live Black Worms?
When you buy Live Black Worms you will also get Live Leeches. Leeches are parasite that are Not Easy to Spot with the naked eye. Leeches are worms that often appear hearth shaped as they curlers themselves toward the body. Leeches can kill a Water Dragon. Buy-Axolotls does not recommend that you feeding Live Black Worms.

When you get the Black Worms rinse the worms with Cold Clean tap water. You will have to rinse them several times until the water is clear. You must rinse the Black Worms every day or they will die. Put the Black Worms in the refrigerator in a plastic shoe box and lid that you can buy at the dollar store. The lid will stop any Black Worms from climbing out. A plastic shoe box can hold 1 lb of Black Worms. The height of the Black Worms in the shoe box should be only ½ inch high. Don’t drown them, the water level should be NO higher than the top of the worms. Black Worms breath the air and will suffocate if the water is too deep. Do not feed dead Black Worms to your Water Dragons

At Buy-Axolotls we do not recommend feeding Black Worms because leeches can kill your Water Dragon.

Is it okay to feed my Water Dragon worms from my garden?
I would not recommend it because the worms from your garden may contain parasites, and if eaten by your Water Dragon it will die. Also worms from your garden may have chemicals like:pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers which will if eaten also endanger the life of your Water Dragon. If you want to feed worms then buy them from Walmart or on the internet.

How do get my Water Dragon to eat Axolotl pellets?
The process takes about 2 weeks to change from frozen Blood Worms to Axolotl pellets. The best to change the food is feed both Blood Worms and Axolotl pellets at the same time. You need to feed less Blood Worms at every feeding; until your Water Dragons are eating the Axolotl pellets.

I would recommend that you buy Rosy Minnows or use Red Wiggler Worms that you can at Walmart. When using Red Wiggler Worms you do not need to lower the water level; just put them in your tank. When using feeder fish that you can buy Petsmart and Petco which sells for about 15 cents each.

Also it is important that the feeder fish are smaller than your Water Dragon’s mouth.

Can I feed Beefheart to my Water Dragon?
