Wild Type Axolotl CB24

Axolotls are fascinating creatures that require specific care to thrive. To keep your axolotl healthy and happy, here are some tips to keep in mind:

Axolotls require a tank that is at least 20 gallons in size. Larger tanks are better, as axolotls produce a lot of waste and require plenty of space to swim.

Axolotls are sensitive to poor water quality. It is important to maintain a clean and well-filtered tank. Perform regular water changes and test the water frequently to ensure that the pH, ammonia, and nitrate levels are within the appropriate range.

Axolotls are cold-water creatures and prefer a temperature range of 60-68 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid sudden temperature changes, as they can be stressful for axolotls.

Axolotls are carnivores and require a diet of live or frozen food, such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and blackworms. Avoid feeding them insects or anything that can harm your axolotl.

Axolotls do not require any special lighting, but they do need a day/night cycle. Keep the tank in a room with natural light or provide artificial lighting on a timer.

Axolotls require places to hide and explore. Provide them with plenty of plants, rocks, and caves. Avoid using sharp or rough decor that can harm your axolotl’s delicate skin.

Remember, axolotls are delicate creatures that require specific care. With the right environment and diet, they can live up to 15 years in captivity.
