If you want to get one just know that no nonaxolotl fish should be in the same tank, and the tank water must be kept at 50-75 degrees F. About 55-60 is good.
how are you managing to keep it alive with other fish in there? they are gonna eat his gills. also, although bare bottom tanks are alright they are not recommended because of hard footing, and there is nothing for him to to under or in. poor bored, stressed, nipped up salamander :\
I hadn't heard of an Axolotl until I read the excellent book, "The ancestor's tale " by Richard Dawkins. In the chapter 'Axolotl's tale' he explains more about neoteny or progenesis, the evolutionary consequence of which is called paedomorphosis. The axolotl is just an extreme among salamanders. Many species seem to be , to some extent, paedomorphic, others do other heterochronically interesting things. Axolotls treated with thyroxine lose their gills and become dry land salamanders.
To all of the ignorant human beings who keep saying:'AXOLOTLS ARE ALMOST EXTINCT YOUR SUCH A BAD PERSON...OMG....I'M IGNORANT"
Yes, Axolotles, in the wild, are going extinct. But they are bred in extremely large numbers in captivity. Many, healthy, happy axolotles are produced by private breeders. These pets are NOT taken from the wild.
Although, man, you really should get the fish out of the tank, it IS terrible for the little dudes gills.
Dude are you stupid websites for Axolotls are very clear that other fish nip their gills witch is obviously painful. Animal abuser. =...(... Poor Axolotl.
@challie10 it is ok to do wit fish like small shrimp as the axolotl eats them. is it ok to do keep 2 axolotl. i just got my 3 + 4th YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
beautiful creature but his environment doesn't look that great at all =S poor thing =( unless he's gonna eat those fish, take them out!!! Also needs a hiding spot and something on the floor!
Just to let you know, you are not supposed to put any fish tank mates in with axolotls. Fish get tempted to nibble on the gills and it causes disease and they DIE!!!! you dont want your axolotl to die do you?
i will make money and buy a aquarium and a axolotl + my aqarium will be full with hiding spots like my big sea shells , ceramic dragons and fake waterplants
Your Axolotl is sooooo cute, I have been looking all over the place. Please let me know where you get yours, and where I can get one.... I must get one.....PLEASE
For all of you people who think axolotls are illegal you are wrong. The only U.S state where they are illegal is in California. There are many axolotl breeders all over the world.
i did the same man. my axolotl no bottom soil and i have a big tree in there so they can mate and i keep topp fish lik baby arowanas so they wont fight.
This poor little baby is very upset look at the way its tail is wavy and not straight. You should get the fish out as they are nipping at the poor little thing
@lucymia ppl dont do the full research before they comment thats why. :) they jump off the handle pretending to know it all. Nice to see there's still a few level-headed ppl around here. :)
@adrastea99 they're endangered, yes, but only in the wild. the species is flourishing in captivity, and are in fact overpopulating. so relax. its perfectly legal and is encouraged so the species is kept alive. Look at dogs for example. they started in the wild, and now we hardly see them anywhere but in the household. same with cats. Its the same thing.
@fovea001 Yeah I can't believe the people these days. It probably feels like a bunch of little kids are ripping your skin off bit by bit. I almost cried poor axolotl they so cute :(. Thanks for the comment hope these people learn to take better care. Axolotl lover 4ever! :D
how the hell can you put one of these amazing creatures in such awful conditions like that! the bloody fish are biting his gills and he doesnt even have pebbles or any rocks at the bottom of the tank!
Do you have him with other fish? When fish get a disease called "ick" they get white spots on them... maybe it's ick... there is a medication for them at the pet store.
that thing it´s an endemic species of a mexican salamander (Ambystoma mexicanum), they stay in the larvae state all their lifes. and the correct name is Ajolote or Axolotl , I know it cause I´m mexican :D
For all people saying this is wrong, the axolotl can grow back any of its body parts, so even if the black fishes do eat a finger, it will grow back :D
u know 1 day if that thing survives and evolves in like 5000 years(bad estimate) itll probbaly turn into a huge cold blooded predator and kill all fish muhahahahahhahaha
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand
The black fish are mollys and as the axolotl tries to eat them...the fish will learn to stay away and shouldn't bother the gills as they will end up getting eatin.
haha I put 2 goldfish in with my first axolotl, and found one fish with its tail hanging out her smiley mouth. She hasn't wanted feeding for three days, do you know why?? LOL

Before you guys go smartass on the creator: Those are fish that axolotls eat and that do not eat the axolotl's gills. Some fish do, these don't.
And while I agree that he should have gravel, you don't see the whole tank, who says that there is no hiding place?
Also, axolotls may be endangered, but they are legal pets almost everywhere in the world.
And Guppys don't touch axolotls. My guppys swim far away from my lotls because they tend to get eaten by the latter.
