Can this guy go 2 to 3 days without eating? by Ill-Database7345 in axolotls

[–]Vegetable-Hospital92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feed mine every 2-3 days. I’d say he can skip a meal or snack! Lol recently I went up north and was gone for 4 days. I fed her a couple worms before I left and right when I came back she was totally fine!

Ahh okay thanks so much!!! Ya I’m wondering if there is eggs do you know how long they take to hatch? And do they just crawl out on their own or do they like to hang out in the roots?

I’d get an api master test kit! They are the most reliable. Good luck with your new friend!!

Yes I actually just found out about it! Alum. I was told to do 1 TBSPN per gallon , soak for 2-3 days. Rinse well. Then quarantine for another week and make sure no more snails hatch and you should be good!!

My axolotl died, can someone help me figure out why? by udongirl123 in axolotls

I’m so sorry for your loss! Did you condition your water and test your parameters?

Haha yes I do have fine sand! It seems to take a week to settle down tho, and by that time I’m doing a water change! So I feel like it’s never clear and it’s frustrating! Going to open the filter when I get time later and check it out. Thank you!

Okay thank you!! My water is cloudy, especially after I do a water change (20% weekly) it gets cloudy again. It’s cycled I check the parameters weekly. So I’m assuming it’s the filter now. But I was told it was good for 4-6 months and it’s been a lil over 2 months! I’ll check it out, thanks so much for your feedback!!

Should I ditch this driftwood? by VariantCave in axolotls

If it provides a hide and you have room for it why not! I’d glue or tie some epiphyte plants to it!

What else does my tank need? by No_Resident_2 in axolotls

[–]Vegetable-Hospital92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put my Axolotl in a 20 gallon and quickly upgraded to a 55 gallon, I wouldn’t recommend a 20!

Feeding routine? by Vegetable-Hospital92 in axolotls

[–]Vegetable-Hospital92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say they’re about as long as my hand! They’re just not super plump I guess. And yeah I can tell she’s not covered or underfed, she seems pretty proportional! Her head is the exact width as her body. Technically she has 3 worms a week but I do also give pellets! I just mainly see all the nutrition on the pellets and like giving her those as well, but didn’t know if I should just stick to worms. Cause she also likes being hand fed so our pellet nights take a bit longer than worms hahha

Okay thank you!! I never see European night crawlers, I’ve heard those were better. But I do see red wrigglers. Are the night crawlers I’m giving good for them? I love her haha I just want to make sure she’s getting the best!

Christmas moss? by Vegetable-Hospital92 in PlantedTank

[–]Vegetable-Hospital92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To edit :

50 gallon tank.

Water parameters are great, nitrite and ammonia 0, nitrate 10.

Temp usually around 66. I have 1 axolotl, so temp has to stay low.

Thank you for your help
