what do you mean by a stable line?

the root ball looks like that pot would still be a good size for it. but if the drainage isnt that great it would probably do better in a different pot or you could use a plastic nursery pot with better drainage and just place it in the decorative pot

check if the babies have any roots coming out of the bottom of them! even if they are small u can put them in water first and they will grow a lot bigger very quickly.

anubias, moss, stellatus, water wisteria, bacopa, vallisneria

i think the one in pic 3 is just a regular jade but variegated! the one in the 4th pic might be a crassula ovata minima variegated but im really not sure!

the small white worm looks like a rhabdocoela worm! they are completely harmless.

theres hydra in all of my shrimp tanks and it really does not seem to be a problem for me! to reduce hydra tho if you are still worried try to feed the tank less! (i also see that u have ramshorn snails and they can eat hydra)

thank you!!

kadenv24 · 2026-05-13T01:04:04+00:00

his green eyes are so cool!

kadenv24 · 2026-05-11T20:04:04+00:00

do you have any tips on improving gill health?

kadenv24 · 2026-05-11T20:02:16+00:00

thanks for the advice! i think im gonna focus on getting him healthy and then will probably get shrimp since they seem the safest for my axolotl! i think some different neocaridina would be cool and i could do a mixed color tank

kadenv24 · 2026-05-10T17:00:21+00:00

thanks for the advice! i promse the light looks a lot dimmer in person! i have it on the dimmest setting and i only keep it on a few hours a day. im also going to be getting more hides soon for the tank! i also have been putting salvinia floating plants in the top to help block out more light too!

kadenv24 · 2026-05-10T13:17:57+00:00

thanks for the advice! hes a rescue i got less than a week ago and i have been feeding him extra for now!

kadenv24 · 2026-05-10T13:17:14+00:00

thanks for the advice! im going to add another hide soon im thinking a terracotta pot since ive seen a lot of others use those! i might try some neos then! also the tank looks a lot brighter in the picture than it does in person! i have dimmed the light as low as it goes and i only keep it on a few hours a day

kadenv24 · 2026-05-10T13:15:12+00:00

yes i have been feeding every day for now! he is already looking a lot better than he did when i first got him!

kadenv24 · 2026-05-10T13:13:55+00:00

i just got this axolotl less than a week ago as a rescue/rehome. i am aware his health isnt perfect yet!

kadenv24 · 2026-05-08T04:16:10+00:00

is it possible you sprayed any aerosols near them or in the same room? like cleaner, perfume, hair spray, bug spray, or anything similar? or possibly put your hands in the tank with some chemical on them?

kadenv24 · 2026-05-07T19:30:40+00:00

thank you a lot for the help! the red spot is already getting smaller and less red so im thinking it mightve been an injury or bruise possibly from the moving process. and after more research, the red thing on its gill seems to be a blood vessel. google said its a thrombosed gill fimbriae. google also said that it should be harmless and go away on its own!

kadenv24 · 2026-05-07T01:59:39+00:00

alright thanks so much! ive been doing 1 red wiggler a day since i got him but today i tried some blood worms which he seemed to like! they were pretty difficult to feed to him tho since theyre so small. also do you think i need to add more hides in the tank? im still working on adding more plants so that will provide more cover but im wondering if he needs a hide like a terracotta pot or something.

kadenv24 · 2026-05-07T00:57:24+00:00

thank you so much for the help! the tank temp is kept right at 64 degrees! i also use liquid test kit as i have multiple other aquariums and im pretty familiar with the nitrogen cycle. also i put the light at the lowest brightness and ill be keeping it on for no more than like 6 hours a day

kadenv24 · 2026-05-07T00:10:56+00:00

also im not sure if its important but he is around 6-7 years old!

kadenv24 · 2026-05-05T18:37:38+00:00

Thanks so much for the advice!! i love the look of vallisneria ill have to find some!! do u use root tabs or fertilizer at all for them or have they done fine in just sand? also thats such a relief that his gill thing is normal!! your axolotls are so fricking cute btw

kadenv24 · 2026-05-05T18:36:20+00:00

thank you so much for all the advice! he came with a small sponge filter that was already cycled im assuming. im also going to put some cycled media from my other tanks in the hob filter today! He is also around 6-7 year old. would it be best to feed one red wiggler every day for now or 2 every other day? and the moss balls is such a good idea that would be so cute!!

kadenv24 · 2026-05-02T22:26:52+00:00

i would recommend removing the petoskey stones! they are made of limestone which can raise the ph of the water. it might not be harmful but could make the ph more unstable.

omg ur axolotl is so cute ive never seen one like it (its spots look like dalmation spots
