Saying wild axolotls live in bad water so they don't need water care is like saying ancient humans lived naked in the savanna so putting a naked human there is a good idea!
When u adopt a pet I see it as ur job. To make the animals life 1000× better. If u can't or don't. Ur a horrible person.
@@Xx_D4RK_K1N_xX ?
@@swarmeddan1836 They said that when you adopt a pet it's like a job, and you're supposed to make the animals life better, and that you shoudlnt adopt a pet if you can't take care of it
@@swarmeddan1836 why did you put a question mark, can you read?
Never heard someone say that tbh
This is extremely important, all people wanting axolotls should watch this along with their research
I want one but im not gonna get it since i dont want to mistreat it.
My brother owns several fish so he might get an axolotl he also does his research but we aren’t getting one very soon tho
@@pofflet yeah that's the reason why I might get a crested gecko, cuz they are easy to take care of and I could give them good lives
Exactly what I’m doing.
@@xsenarii8086 Noice, I’ve been researching for a while now and this video popped up
"axolotls live in poor water conditions in the wild" yeah and my hamster would be eaten in the wild should i let my cats get her? i hate the excuse of "Oh but in the wild they-" as an excuse not to give your animal proper care. this is such a great video as always!!
But ya know normally in nature wolf's go in packs. So I SHOULD bring them in side!
I really don’t know why people compare animals to their wild counterparts so much, especially exotics, sure they haven’t been bred nearly as much as a dog or cat but dear god they behave completely differently.
A burmese python in the wild is a powerful predator that careful chooses its ambush method and it’s capable of eating crocodiles, goats and even tigers, then there’s my Burmese that hides her head when a fly lands on her and runs from her food at times (which is thawed btw, it’s not even living).
They aren’t the same and it’s not an excuse
Okay but im fine with people comparing animals with the Wild.
I have dogs, cats, hamster and Guinea pigs.
hamsters borrow in the wild and go alone. They should also do that in a home.
Guinea pigs go in groups and likes to eat grass hay, forage, and to hide, they should also be able to do that.
Dogs are not like “wild wild” that is more wolves but they still mark their tertiary.
Cats can go outside and catch mice, birds and they also use claws.
I understand that it’s not all animals but really it’s not that bad sometimes.
Fish should have room to swim and explore like in the wild.
Birds should be able to fly.
Rodents should have more space.
Borrowers should be able to borrow.
Some people just are curious, trying to help or don’t really understand.
Please to try understand them before hating on it.
@@thepiglife2591 they're hating on the people who give the bad excuses, you can only use the "in the wild" excuse to a certain point, like we should let rats burrow because they enjoy burrowing, but for example we shouldn't let me crested geckos tank get over 80 degrees, cuz even though in the wild it does get over 80 degrees where they live, my gecko wouldn't enjoy that
@@bulbasaurhimself8914 yeah but I also said that I understand it's not all animals.
I'm not an expert to every single animal that would just be impossible.
I hope you understand that as well.
The goldfishes are much bigger! They are living their life
Wild ones are
They live for like 2 weeks lmao
@@xtyql they can live past 5 years...
@@xtyql if you give them a good care, and not abusing the in a round tank thing, the can live 25 years.
So it's not funny that they are getting abused that much.
@@xtyql When given proper care, they can live up to 25 years. Funny how you’re commenting this on a channel that talks about stuff like this ALL THE TIME.
Wait, you are telling me, that there are people that hurt animals??- RIP childhood innocence. Cause of death, realizing that there are sick people that hurt animals.
i love axolotls but its insanely hot year round where i live.
Ill just have them as pets in minecraft
you must build them a 50 by 50 glass tank
Yeah same I’m on my Minecraft Axolotl sever a lot
@@averagebriarmain Or also a really cute pond
Amazing video, as always. I work at a local Fish and Axolotl shop and omg literally so many people come in to bring their axolotl back or tell us how we scammed them because the axolotl died within a month, and we said they live 10-15 years. Thank you so much for another informational axolotl video, as minecraft made them huge, now everyone buys them without doing research, so thank you soda!
I’m so sorry for you...but sometimes I don’t understand People like DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!
@@milliemupurp3728 YES
Oh hi again.
@@FishLeFish EXACTLY!
Something I feel like your store needs to do is actually ensure that people have a proper setup and have done the research before buying. It’s standard in so many stores but when that’s not the standard, people think it’s okay to abuse animals because they seem to think proper care is luxury to them.. when actually the very least you could do is give them liveable conditions
Soda: don’t get a water heater for your Axolotol
Me who lives in Antarctica: No I think I’m good
I’m actually doing research to get one! This really helps my research :D
Also the birds flying around are adorable-
same!
same lol- also YES COCKATIELS ARE SO CUTE
I got an axolotl like a week ago, And this really help. Thank you!
Same! Exceot i did the research many months prior. I just love her youtube 😂
1:10 yeah that excuse isn't good because I think one of the reasons why you might want a pet is to give it a better life than if it was in the wild
I never thought an all nighter could lead me to being this early
I read alligator not all nighter. I was like 🤔😂
without even watching this video all I have to say is: oh no...
I wish I could get an axolotl but with my mental health I don't think I would be able to give them the care they need
Ive been struggling with depression for 3 years now and my axolotl has made me want to get out of bed out of the fear of losing him. I love him to death and would do anything for him. Hes honestly helped me so much and he just sits on his tock and eat all day! Lol.
Kind of similar to me. My cats, fish, and mouse all keep me alive- as well as my plants
Soda, you’re so underrated! Like, you’ve been age restricted for other people’s animal abuse, hated on, told you’re wrong, and you still have courage to keep going! You’re so determined to do anything you set your mind to! Basically, I’m saying you need more love and subs, your too underrated. You’re videos are amazing, and you make me happy watching your videos. :D
Can you please talk about gecko abuse? It’s very common sadly and there was a trend where you put a gecko up to something dangerous and yell in its face saying ARE YOU GONNA TEACH ME HOW TO SAVE 15%? First if you drop it that’s will kill it and second it’s putting that through so much stress and third just why would you do that to a poor gecko? Please talk about this.
So many people have improper setups it’s crazy
Woah!!!! You took my suggestion of what to make a video on! This is an amazing video. Very informational. We love you! Keep being awesome!
I was just researching axolotls earlier & this popped up on my recommendations! Thank you :)
Axolotls: children that will put everything in there mouth.
I'm so glad you showed the fans and chiller, I was wondering how I'm gonna keep their tanks cool enough! Right now our house temp is keeping it down but I'm worried about as it gets hotter!
at 2:27 when toothless' eyes popped in and out a lil... made me laugh very cute
I got my axolotl 3 days ago and he’s doing pretty good he’s my frost ever his name is Oreo only struggle at moment is keeping it cool
But my tank was cycled for 1 Week before I got him and he was eating the same day I got him like 2 hours after and he’s very active at night and just chills in his hide in the day his tank is big enough for 2 so he’s living the life XD
I’ve never had one of these, but omg they are so cute, like real life Pokémon, such an interesting creature. It makes me sad that some people treat them so poorly. Thank you for making these informative videos!
5:25 i was just admiring your fish and that little dude starts dragging the stuff
Thank you so much for this video!
I've been researching axolotls a lot recently, as I've finally got a chance to get a pet of my own, and your videos have helped me tons so far
I find their care fascinating and as much as I would love one, I know they’re very complex in general, I dont want to get a pet and not care for it properly, an axolotl is definitely a later down the line kind of pet after extensive research
Best TH-camr I found that makes the knowledge 100% easy to consume and entertainment
I’m actually thinking about buying a axolotl I’ve done 6 months of research making sure I know everything I can, I’m planning on doing more research thank you for the help.
Is it fun that I never knew axolotls where real until Minecraft came out with them-
how
are you serious
@@im_the_end I learnt about them before minecraft but that was only because I got a video of them in my recommended. Nobody ever tells you you about these kind of animals or even knows they exist themselves. It’s hard to find out about an animal if you never even knew it existed.
even if they could “live through it” that doesn’t make it a good thing and doesn’t mean they are not suffering, for example there are people that lived through the holocaust, does that mean that the holocaust was ok ? no they still went through torture and suffering even if they lived. it’s the same for abusing/mistreating animals
I have an axolotl, I love her, her name is Bruno. Tought it was a boy, its a girl lol. I used to work in a reptile store and we had axolotls, costumers would never know what "cycling a tank" is, yet they wanted an axolotl. It was very stressful.
I work at a pet store with a large fish section the stress I deal with when clueless people come in wanting fish with no research prior. Thankfully we no longer have axolotls because of our suppliers breeder retiring. so I don't have to talk unprepared people out if buying an animal they aren't ready for. (at least in the case of axolotls, they definitely still do this with fish.)
oh my gosh axolotls are SO cute and precioussss I can’tt 😍😍
Hi I have a kinda rare case with my axolotl she will not eat a worm well I say well because she ends up throwing it up later idk why I’ve even chopped it up in the tinyest pieces it still won’t work but she does take crickets really well
What kind of worms are they? Are they definitely earthworms? Sometimes axolotls can just be picky. Try not to feed crickets too much as they should be a treat and some people say they can be harmful if fed to much. Try repashy grub pie, most axolotls love it
Are you feeding nightcrawlers or red wrigglers? Red wrigglers secrete a bad tasting liquid and a lot of axolotls won't eat them. Crickets don't make a good staple food due to too much exoskeleton and lower protein content than worms. You can try to tempt your axie into eating with a bit of cooked shrimp or salmon.
Girl in all of your videos the backround literally sounds like nature like I fucking love it
Am I the only one who started watching her and can’t stop?
Tfw when you got into sodapets TH-cam channel 1 or 2 months ago like me and you realize she posts so often, way more often than all of your other fav yotubers, and you feel so spoiledddd love you 💕💕 Amazing video as always!
I want an army of axolotls and i will take good care of them.
That will take up so much room lmfao, a 20 gallon long tank EACH!!!!
Super important video i have axolotl and I have had Zelda about 6 years now . You need too take information before you get one and test water all that she said.
Can you make an aquarium cycling tutorial? I’m thinking of taking in my friends goldfish who has been neglected and I want it to be as safe as possible
hehe, I got hurt a bit because my tank is filled ONLY with livebearers. Namely; Guppies, Mollies, Platies....
Who remembers when axolotls weren't so popular?
Right!
WELL...chicken is not a mamal! But agree you should not feed it to them...
When someone who's axolotl died in a stupid way tells you how to care for an axolotl- lmfao.
I really like the thought of having a axolotl, yet the heat where I live is making me doubt if I should get one. But I want to do as much research as possible, just incase I decide that I don't want to have one. I can still share this information, thank you so much this video it helps a lot! :)
I have 3 axolotls quarantined right now. All of them are eating well, their gills look totally normal, 2 of them are very very chill, one of them is always walking.. I now figured he's just a very active one. Sometimes he also chills but when I enter the room he starts walking right away, they are in a pretty shady dark place and the water temp. Is 16°C- 17.5°C all the time :) . The previous owner used quarz sand (more than 3mm) as substrate, which I now changed for round axogravel (in the main tank not the tubs of course, because they all poop a ton of this quarz which has to hurt internally... Hoping my tank won't take too long to cycle, I will do the first water test in 7 days. Then I just need a cooler for the summer to let them alone and keep peace of mind :). Hope I'm doing that alright. I also might have to get a second tank because 2 of them are definitely males, but one has a very female shaped cloaca. So I wouldn't keep the 2 males in the same tank as the female if it turns out to actually be one.... I'm very exited about giving them a better home than b4 :))
Hoping to find other axolotl owners in the area of Berlin to get to know and maybe exchange plants straight from the axo tanks so I don't have to disinfect every single one myself ... I really don't like using chemicals on anything that goes into my tank..
before i got my axolotl i almost bought a 10 gallon tank cuz an axolotl site said that was ok but my mom called the pet store ad they said 25
I currently have mine in a 10gallon temporarily as hes only 9 months so hes still small enough to be in a 10
My dad got me I think 4-5 shrimps, 2 $5 shrimp and some ghost shrimps. Guess what, my axolotl ate all of them. Guess she got her nutrients
No surprises there
My local zoo had 4 axolotls, housed on gravel. They now have 1 axolotl, still housed on gravel.
You can 10000% keep other tank mates not many but you can. Ghost shrimp minnows and tuffies are just fine.
My axolotl just likes to sit near and next to the filter just like a massage i guess
Hi, I’m rescuing a small Axolotl that’s a few years old from my mums hair dresser,
She doesn’t have fluffy gills and is very small. I am worried about her and want to help her.
I haven’t told them tho that she isn’t in the best condition.
I have a tank setup at home that she is going in, but will her gills grow back?
She is Lao very skinny. They told me they feed her pellets which Ik are not good, they also give her half a bloodworm cube every two days.
I think that’s why she isn’t in the best condition. If anyone is experienced in axolotls, please tell what I can do to change her life around!
I’ll have to binge all your axolotl videos, as I’m getting one soon. I’ve done my own research but I want to be 100% sure that I take care of it properly!
Ty for making this a lot of people are getting acolytes because of Minecraft (not blaming them btw) and they don’t do research before getting them
I wanted to get one , even if not immediately in some months and thank u for this
Yess, I love your axolotl videos!! :>
Is there a specific way you’re supposed to clean an Axolotl’s tank?
I believe there is more than one way to do it but the best way to clean an Axolotl tank is to get one of those tube things with a pump and when you do your weekly cleans, you just take out 30-40% of the water, add prime to new water, make sure its the right temperature, and then put the water back in. With cleaning alge off the glass of the tank, you can just wipe it off with a tissue or get a specific tank glass cleaner.
@@theweeb_chickennugget4692 I wanted to know because I’m trying to figure out the reason that mine passed away last year… I thought that maybe the way we cleaned his tank was stressful on him, but how you described it is how we did it. Are you not supposed to remove them from the main tank to clean it?
@@fairielites9087 Did your Axolotl show any of the symptoms that Soda meantioned in the video?
@@theweeb_chickennugget4692 No he didn’t, which is what surprised me. We did know he was dead though. He was floating upside down, gills tucked in, and didn’t react when he tapped him. We left him for a day and he didn’t change he just, passed. I thought that maybe it was because he got overly stressed when his tank was getting cleaned
@@fairielites9087 Was the temperature as it should be?
I rescued an albino axolotl that was left for dead, he was floating at the top of the tank and I actually did think he was dead until I walked past and saw him move slightly. There was no chemicals, not even water conditioner there, and there were little bugs in the water that were eating away at him. I made the quick decision to save him and bring him home even though I had no clue what I was doing. He’s now in a 150L long tank with live plants, a little bit of lighting, good water conditions and a proper diet. The water he was in was constantly above 30 degrees celcius and now sits between 17-19 degrees. I’m so proud of him, he doesn’t look frail anymore and he actually has gills again
I thought I would add that he wasn’t from a pet shop, he was from my friends foster parent who had moved away, the house was empty and about to be demolished and I went with my friend to collect any of her stuff that was still there and that’s when we saw him and assumed he had passed. I had only met him once but it broke my heart to see him in the dark brown sludge filled tank with no filter, red sand that was originally white… and a couple fake plants that were really sharp that we immediately threw away
Hi so I know you do some content about axolotls and fish and stuff so there is a TH-camr named marady fish fighter who puts axolotls and stuff in a lake hides them and pretends to save them and do it over and over again please make a video exposing him.
Number 1 thing to do is use seachem prime and stability. It will cycle your tank in a week.
Cool I did not know that axolotl all right I never actually knew that good advice since I'm a axolotl owner
I don't even want water puppies- I just love watching you Lol
Water puppies? Im so confused 😂 Like the water puppy salamander? Or are you refering this to a nickname of the axolotl?
@@kendra5130 a nickname for Axolotls Lol
@@AzulaisQueen743 haha im sorry 😂 i got confused from the actual salamander
@@kendra5130 I honestly forgot Waterpuppy Salamanders existed to be honest Lol
@@AzulaisQueen743 haha 😂 i did too until you mentioned it! They also look like acolotls in some way tho!
OMG THE THING I WAS READING WAS SO WRONG! I feel horrible about feeding my axolotl only blood worms and pallet food…
I’m gonna get my mom to buy earth worms now brb…
Im getting an axolotl tomorrow(im super exited)and this video helped me so much because I want to make sure im giving my axolotl the best life I can !
I'm planning on owning a axolotl for the first time is there anything else to know
I have three baby axolotls in a long 55 gallon but I do have one that is a runt and a little smaller than the others not by much though
Keep an eye on him and make sure the other ones don't outgrow him. I had one that was just slightly smaller and I noticed he was getting smaller and the other ones were getting way bigger. Had to separate him because they were picking at him.
I am currently raising 3 teeny tiny babies (maybe a week ish old!) And watching your videos are helping alot!!!
Blood worms is the only thing my axolotl can really eat right now. He's just a baby, so pellets and earth worms are too big. Do I have to feed them the stinky Repashy?
I really like your brown-black axolotl it reminds me of the wild axolotls in lake xochimilco
SODA! my Blackmore goldfish swims upside down
and needs a weak filter what do I do?
These axolotls really go through alotl
I have a shirt I wear to reptile conventions that says "You sure axolotl questions" 😁
@@heatherpony lol
hey soda !! :D i was wondering how you prepare repashy grub pie to feed your axolotl, and how you clean it up since it melts fairly easily in the water
You should make a vid on the feeding Steven channel. Which if you haven't seen its a channel about feeding Steven a seagull that is getting fed to get his trust gained.
Love this video. Your room looks amazing.
My sister wants an axolotl, she thinks that they just eat blood worms so- if she does get one I’m gonna tell her what they should eat-
I feed mine earth worms from my backyard
@@kendra5130 that’s not a good idea as they could be carrying parasites
@@Marie-si9xn they washed thoroughly and kept in "quarintine" to check if theyre sick.
one of my moms friends owns and axolotl and her and her kids all say its a fish and not an amphibian so i'm always worried if its being properly cared for
I’m getting 2 axolotl‘s I’m saving them from a childcare that did not know how to look after them, they’re pretty traumatised and I hope to give them a quiet life
so i got an axolotl and forgot to cycle its tank, ive had it for about 2 motnhs now and it seems to be doing fine, shoud i have any concerns or do anything?
cycle the tank now that you know! like soda said, get involved with aquarium/axolotl groups in your area. they can offer even more specific help to your situation
Yeah you need to tub it while waiting for your tank to cycle by putting it in an uncycled tank you are killing it also make sure you do proper research on tubing too like when you buy a tub make sure it's big enough and doesnt smell like any chemicals you will also need to do daily 100% water changes
@@woopie8945 Ive never cycled my tank for my first and she did perfectly fine. 😂 But my water is well water so im not sure if that makes a difference
Thank you for making this video! My mom is wanting to get me an axolotl and I really like them but don't really know how to take care of them now I know more if I ever get one!
What type of food should I feed my baby axolotl?
Live brine shrimp and live daphnia
I learned about axolotls from Minecraft they are cute 🥰
My sister has a axolotl and she doesn’t have a chiller so she uses little fans and the mini frozen water bottles so when I get my first axolotl I wil probley use fans
Who would ever hurt those derpy faces?
Predators in the wild like large cichlids , catfish and wading birds
Irresponsible people
Great video, didn't know that about the black sand
i have a question im am gonna get a axolotl and i want to ask do you think about 6 week of Cycling good enough for them? and i have betta rock on the bottom of the tank are thouse big enough for them? i just want to khow cause i dont want to kill my axolotl
The only thing i know from them is not holding them all the time
thanks for another lovely video!!! hugs! ♡
Yeah OK i wanted an axolotl for my 13th birthday but i guess ill wait a while 😂
I live in germany and i can buy special axolotl gravel with a size under 3mm so if they swollow it, it comes out on the other side without harm the axolotl. We have a very good online Community with some researchers an a special Shop for axolotl care. But i really like your advise and the informations.
you should do a video where you show us your room and where all the stuff is that would be really cool
I have an api kit . Where’s ghost though ?
The worst thing is that one time I opened twitter and I saw an axolotl in a card box with a rice bowl
😭
Get the ceiling fan tornado monster to come after the person who did that
thank you for this, a few weeks ago i rescued a axolotl from HORRID conditions and didnt have time to cycle my tank since it was a 24 hour decision and preparation :/ im still lookin for a homee for her. i do not know how to care for a axolotl esp since i have did and physical issues and family housing issues.
Sounds alot like keeping a catfish and small fin eels. I love your vids keep it up I love the slimy creatures but my eels and catfish will eat everything in the tanks
i love soda a lot but she makes a few confusing mistakes; the most common one being when she makes comparisons and says stuff like “but they’re not wild, they are captive bred” and then later on says “…in the wild” besides that i love her videos and this is crucial information she shares !!
Well it's still important to replicate their wild inviroments to an extent, obviosuly we shouldn't replicate the fact they live in dirty polluted waters in the wild because its what's killing them, but when I was talking about temp "in the wild" i was talking about and keeping axolotls under 20 degress Celsius. This is something we cannot change from the wild because axolotls aren't evolved to handle warm water, but yeah im not good at wording things sometimes lol
@@sodapets That’s okay I myself (clearly lol) can’t word things very well, and I guess you’re still totally right because captive bred and wild don’t share all the same characteristics or some other word… but there is even other species who need different things then say their ancestors (specifically humans). Your point still came across pretty clear to me-and hopefully other people if not everyone else-so thank you Soda!! Saving lives, one axolotl at a time
What are the white spots onbthe axolotls? I have black axolotls and they have small white spots too.
can you give me
information about a axolotl so My
axolotl has vellow dots over its body
and I have not seen it until today is that
normal or is it not normal
I just need some help for an information. The people i’m talking to get an axolotls tell me i can’t feed them with Repashy grub pie. I’m not sure who to trust. Could anyone help?
What's their reasoning for that? Repashy grub pie is one of the best foods for them next to earth worms.
This is probably a stupid question but should you do water changer when you are cycling your tank?
I didnt
Because the water gets dirty, basically
The thing is that one of the reasons they are going extinct is because people are eating them and catching them
