Hahahaha

Lol
I enjoy the content but the sound needs balancing. the "background" music is overpowering the voice.
Yeah... a couple of people have said that to me. I wish I could go back and fix it, but I uploaded this video months ago. I certainly do agree and appreciate you pointing it out though. I have more axolotl videos coming soon, and I’ll definitely be more aware of the music volume in editing. I also have better equipment to film with now, too, that picks my voice up more clearly. Thanks for watching and for leaving your feedback. I hope you come back for my future axolotl videos.
Adhd and autism look into them i think u may have them because the sound is driving me batty but its coz my brain is focus on both sounds but likes the sound of music more therefore foucs on it far more compared to the voice even tho im wanting to know what hes saying 😅
@@jashanham6377 no adhd but autism is definitely on the table I have almost every marker but haven't been officially tested
So informative🥰 my little boy (hes 8) has been asking for an axolotl I think because of minecraft. After watching your videos I've decided I dont think it would be in the animals best interest to have me as an owner lol, they seem like a lot of upkeep, so thankyou so so much for your videos it helped a lot of heartache in the future.
@@JeremyGoneWildPetsand I cant put m6 volume up that way the music will get louder
i just got a pet Axolotl for my birthday!
i have been wanting one for 4 years now
and i finaly got one!!!!
How exciting! Congratulations, and happy birthday!
@@JeremyGoneWildPets thank you!
How’s it doing now?
i man good! It is healthy and happy :)
Laila S that made my day
I have a black axolotl in a 2.8 feet tank and I love him so much!🖤
hows he doin'? ^°^
I’m thinking of getting an axolotl and I was wondering if you could do a cage tour video? But this video was very informative, thanks!
YES! I would love to do a cage tour for my Axolotl. Consider it in the pipeline.
me and my sister are thinking about setting up a tank in our living room and getting two of the cute little guys, i'm so excited and trying to do as much research as I can so we can give them the proper care they need.
@@hitler1794 Good luck!! I've been doing some research too. Also, check Etsy for super cute (sometimes customized!!) decorations or reddit and pinterest on how to make diy decorations that are safe for them :) it could be a cool project for you both to do
Are they available in the middle east? Oman, to be exact
I ganna get one axolotl soon maybe
therapist: metamorphosed axolotl doesn't exist, it can't hurt you
metamorphosed axolotl: 1:36
Lol if you showed it to a Christian they would probably throw holy water at it
Wow someone with a apropriate beta tank,very refreshing to see!
They are also extinct because tilapia fish were introduced to the water canals to help the economy and they basically ate most their hatchlings until extinct in the lake. Great information you gave
I am getting a axolotl for my birthday and because I am a aquatic nerd I am trying to do as much research as possible, same as I would do for any of my fish, your video was very useful I have a 40 gallon that used to be snake tank (snake tank got upgraded) then a terrarium (terrarium got over populated with snails and had to go) but is very well capable of being a fish tank, i am going to start trying to get that all set up but wanted to do my research before hand
Thanks for the great video...you have showed me that it would be too hard to keep the temps under 70 degrees where I live and it is not a good pet for me and would be unfair to it. ...props 👍
Glad it was helpful! I'm sorry you can't realistically keep one, though. They're great pets. Maybe in the future some day you can buy a chiller, or put one in a basement.
Love the screen lid, low light, low placement of tank, and the fan is super info I did not know and it makes perfect sense ! Thanks Jeremy !! ✌💞
I'm planing to get an axolotl and doing my research. Your way of cooling the water is so helpful. It really stressed me out as I wasn't able to find some kind of water chiller in the country I live in, don't know why. So fans are the way to go and I will actually being able to afford them. Thanks so much!
I know nothing about them but they are so cool to look at👍💪
Thanks so much for your video! I just bought 2 baby axolotls and have no idea how to take care of them! Now, I know I am on the correct road to properly caring for my new axolotls!
Jeremy! I loved this video. You are so smart and informative. I feel like I truly learned a lot from this video! Your level of knowledge on these creatures is wonderful! The food part really helped me a long with the cooling method Bc I like hearing first hand from people what they do! Also, it was funny when you said “they like worms!” Hehe it’s just cute how they love worms so much 🤣
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Nice information. Took a little worry away from my water temperature. We have tarantulas and tropical stuff so I keep my ac/heater at 75F degrees. This is obviously too warm for an axolotl tank. So I bought a chiller. Some people are saying this will be sufficient but some say it will only take the temperature down a couple degrees. This is so weird to me because, look at how cold a simple human window unit blows.? Lol Oh well, I hope this works!
This was so informative!! I just got my Axolotl and your video really helped me to make sure I was caring for him correctly. I’m going to swap out my lid and get a fan asap. Thanks! :)
My Ace is 10 inches, male, has an 81L tank (17 gallons), which came with a filter that suits it (not a big current). Also a large water cooler that originally had a large water flow, so I cut holes in the tubs to distribute the force. It was left to cycle 8 weeks before I put the plants in, then we got Ace the next week. Usually the tank is 16C or 17C. I check the Ph levels 2 or 3 times a week, to keep it between 7.4 and 7.6 (Axolotl Ph levels). I don't use the lights in my tank unless I'm changing some water out- which is when Ace isn't in there. He has many hiding places, including his favourite barrel. He has mainly a pallet food, but also frozen food (worms, oysters, etc.) that's specifically for axolotls. I've also been thinking about buying some Ghost Shrimp for him
Here in Montana, we have wild axolotls. They live in Axolotl Lake in southwest Montana, between Virginia City and Ennis
An unbelievable amount of information, all interesting and needed but I really struggled to hear it over the music. I'm saving this for my family so maybe they can make more of it . Many thanks to you Jeremy.
I really like your voice and the way you speak. Your a good person and I see how much you care and know for Axolotls. Thank you for the content. Your awesome.
You literally answered all my questions I needed to get mine
Metamorphosized axolotls look like Dart from stranger things lmao
They do!
This was extremely informative! May be adopting an axolotl in a month and this was a fantastic and knowledgeable!
Been researching on em for a while now thinking of getting one they look adorable and this really helped thanks!
This video is one of the more informative ones I have seen, which is really helpful. I am getting my OH an Axolotl for Christmas so we are starting to set up our tank now so we are ready. Thank you for the video!
Thank you so much for your kind comment! Since you are setting up an axolotl tank, you should also watch my video about axolotl substrates. It’s linked in the description of this video. How exciting that you’re getting an axolotl for Christmas! What a great present.
Thank you for this information back when you did this video I was still in the beta phase and my all-time love is Hippos ..( not a option for a pet) ...
So these beautiful axolotls..I can give 1 a great home and doing research so my axolotl has the best life!!! Thank you for this video again as I prepare to be a great axolotl mom!
I could hear the music more than I could hear you. please cut back on the music so I can hear you better thanks
Thank you for letting me know. I was concerned about the voice clarity as well, but didn’t notice until after uploading. I will be doing more axolotl care videos moving forward and I’ll make sure the audio is clearer. Since recording this video I have purchased better video equipment and my voice picks up much clearer. I recorded this video on my old cell phone.
Awesome video man! That’s some great info! I didn’t know they were almost extinct in the wild. That’s crazy. Thanks for sharing!
As soon as you said to continue to research other than your video I hit subscribe.
That tells me that you most definitely know what you are talking about. Thank you. 🥰
I have an axolotl that my friend gave me and these videos are soooooo helpful
Thank you! I’m glad I could help!
Love this! One of the better videos I have seen here on youtube even though it wasn't in depth.
Thank you
LOOK AT HIS G I L L S OH MY GOD SO FLUFFY!!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL HEALTHY BABY TvT
Thank you for the tips I’m going to get the actor axolotl one I am 10 so thank you
Thank you! My 12 yr old ( and me😋) wants an axolotl so am checking things out. This is one of the clearest take on things iv found and very helpful, especially the cooling system you use as its warm here in oz in the summer but definatly need the cheaper version. Will of course do more homework but this was a great start for my son ( and me) to know what we are in for... ie he better be prepared for lots of poop removal 😜. Thanks again, mel 😀
i’m hoping to make an axolotl my first pet this fall, i can’t wait! thank you for the info :)
hi I am a kid from Hong Kong but just want to notice you that a fan is definitely not enough in hongkong due to the hot weather ,so I bought the coolling water machine 👍good vid 🔥🔥support （subscribed)
I just found your channel, and I am impressed. I look forward to watching more.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the feedback
I know this video has audio issues. This video is a few years old. Care standards change with time too. But I have good news:
I made a new, updated, complete care guide in 2021. That video doesn’t have the audio issues and is way more informative and up to date. GO WATCH MY COMPLETE AXOLOTL CARE GUIDE: th-cam.com/video/HwXwasS5Qao/w-d-xo.html
Great content J... I knew nothing about them until your video, you could totally get started with one by just watching your video, great info braddah appreciate you much love and aloha🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽
The tanks i can see are so simple yet so stunning wow im excited to set up one
Ty
Thank you so much this video really help ❤
You were my only video I watch and it helped 😅
This is more information then any other axolotl video
I am saving up more than $300 for Axolotl stuff!!! I really love hem SOO much!!
Yup. That’s an amazing axolotl. I’m super jelly lol. Keep up the good work. Looks amazing.
I knew you'd like her :)
Great video, axolotls are amazing little creatures
U deserve more subscribers man
Love this video - very informative - thankyou so much
my axoltl is a literal diva ! she knows she’s special 😂
Great tips Jeremy. Thank you.
(Your music is overpowering your speech)
for my tanks i got a couple ice cube trays from the dollar store and make ice cubes out of de chlorinated water and about a tray twice a day kept my tanks at the ideal range during the summer heat warnings
If that works for you, then that's great. Seems like too much maintenance for me though. With the fan I don't have to manage the temperature constantly.
I stick frozen water bottles in, but being in new england ofc that was enough so i had to move the tank to the basement
Awsome! I’m getting one soon and this was very helpful specially the cooling thing

Great video mate!
I am contemplating getting an Axolotl but just brushing up on some research first…
Hey!
Where did you get your mesh lid? I have been able to find some but is the material easy to cut through so I can get the filter tube/s coming out the top?
TIA!(:
I got this lid at petco but I ended up replacing it with another one. This one was metal and it rusted after a while. Now I have a plastic lid that I drilled ventalation holes into.
Very helpful video thanks 👍😀👍
I use an aqua clear designed for a 20gal in my 55 gal so that it keeps the water calm and then i do 30% water change weekly and that seems to be a good balance. if you have a Python it takes like 10 mins once a week.
Such cool creatures! Very informative video! Maybe I will keep one someday
great video! very informative, thank you!
Thats funny!!! Your green axo is named "Amy" ??? My 4 year-old son named his green one 'Amy' as well!! And the yellow one is named "Tails"... ue really loves Sonic the Hedgehog... obvi...
informative video, music sounds very twin peaks ha!
I've had my little guy for almost a month now and while he's still young, he's about 7 inches long. I know he's eaten worms before and the second time I fed him, I gave him a large nightcrawler cut in half (first time was pellets) and he happily ate a full half, but wasn't interested in the other. Since then, he hasn't been willing to eat nightcrawlers, no matter how small I cut them up. He tries, and he's really excited to try, but always spits them back out again. Any tips?
My axolotl still to this day doesn’t like nightcrawlers either. Sometimes she will eat red wigglers but not often. She does like frozen bloodworms, but she’s so big she eats an entire cube at once, so I only feed her those a couple times a week. I also feed her sinking carnivore pellets. Hikari makes a good high quality pellet that is appropriate for axolotls. If you do decide to go with a pellet food, avoid off brand foods that contain a lot of filler, go with a high quality, high protein, carnivore pellet.
@@JeremyGoneWildPets what percentage would you classify as high protein? Also, he has eaten nightcrawlers before, he just won't anymore and I don't know why
Maybe the nightcrawlers are too thick, not just too long. Have you tried cutting them the long way to make them thinner?
The Hikari pellets I recommend are 47% protein. You don’t have to get those per-se, just get the highest protein you can find. Anything below 30% protein you should probably avoid.
@@JeremyGoneWildPets hi, just wanted to update, I have gotten him to eat some half worms--I guess he just wasn't hungry enough before. I always have my pellets on hand though, just in case, because sometimes he's only willing to eat the smaller pellets. Speaking of the pellets though, how many do you think would be sufficient for an axolotl between 7 and 8 inches long? Mine has a lot of vision problems, so I always have to drop the pellets one at a time right in front of him--he can't find them otherwise. I've been feeding him about 7-10 every other day or so (usually alternating back and forth between pellets and worms, but probably more often pellets) and I think he's a healthy weight, but I just don't know what I'm doing, soooo.
Amurry 24537 I can’t say an exact number of pellets, but when you view him from above, his head and his body should be the same width. That’s how you know he’s at a healthy weight. That’s good that he’s interested in worms now, though. That’s honestly the best diet for him because that’s what they eat in the wild.
I don’t know if you see this or not but I’m giving it a try. I just got my axolotl a couple weeks ago. But I’m always afraid he is not okay. Today i walked in on him on top of one of the plants I thought he was dead but I gave him a soft poke and he woke up and swam back down immediately. Believe me I really try my best the water temp from my tank is always around 16-17 degrees Celsius. The PH value is around 7 to 7,5 I clean the aquarium once a week and I check the water every day. He eats very well but swims a lot. Also mine comes to the top to breathe I looked online and it seemed normal but now I’m worried. His gills are NOT curved also his tail is just straight. Tough today I noticed a very small sort of dent in his tail. The thing is with a dog or a cat you know when they are happy or sad. With a axolotl I find it very tough.. the tank is quite large for one axolotl I have 3 oxygen plants a cave couple of big rocks so he can walk over them and a very big wooden sort of statue. I just need some help if this is okay.. my axolotl is almost 3 months old
You are so helpful
I love this so hard thank you!
You have an awesome set up there. I absolutely love Axolotl. Great video 👍🏻👋🏻
The Night Owl thank you
I have a 45G tank and it has depth. Since heat rises, wouldnt that mean the bottom is cooler to where they prefer? I can never really tell what temperature the water is but it is fairly cooler than what thermostat of house says. I plan to get axolotl but temperature part worries me.
Awesome video! I appreciate your honesty! I also like that you didn't come across like a "know it all." The ONLY thing that I can say is...your 10 gallon behind you is giving me an anxiety attack! The way the weight of it on that metal shelf is freaking me out LOL :) 🤣🤣🤣
Hey! Thanks for the comment! Yeah, that 10 gallon tank gave me anxiety on that shelf too. It’s not there anymore. A lot has changed in the pet room in the years since this video was made. That said, in 2021 I made a complete axolotl care guide. You should give it a watch if you’re looking up axolotl info. It’s way more comprehensive and complete.
th-cam.com/video/HwXwasS5Qao/w-d-xo.html
@@JeremyGoneWildPets WOW ! Someone on TH-cam that reads and answers their comment section! Thank you! I love your video's and content. Looking forward to the Axolotl info! Have an awesome day!
Will the fan helps in tropical country in a room without air conditioner? (It could get somewhere around 30 celcius)
I can’t say for sure. I keep my tropical tanks and my axolotl tank in the same room. But I don’t heat the room to tropical temperatures, just the individual tanks that need it with aquarium heaters.
I really want oneeeeee they r cute asffff
I don’t even own one of these or plan on getting one I just watched because it’s cool
I’m getting one for Christmas :D
Good info..clear and direct ..thanx
This video would really benefit from time stamps. But excellent video thumbs up. 👍
Thanks for this guide really helpful
If you are opting for chilling with ice, then you should calculate the ice to water amount, i can chill my 200 liter for 3 to 4 hours with a solid 5 kg iceblock a couple of celcius and if i can keep up with exchanging the chilling elements against the thawing time i xan keep it stavle, but it is the most laborious way to do
Commissar Ankerstjerne yeah that’s a lot more work than I want to put in.
@@JeremyGoneWildPets bin keeping these sweet little thing for about 5 years or so, amd have not had the money for proper cooling, so had to what i know i can do
VERY GOOD
I like your presentation man 😁👍
I'm so glad I found this cuz I will have an axoloti soon 🤣
So informative. Thank you❤
I have 2 axolotls in my 75 gallon. Looking to add to the family soon 😍😍
75 GALLON FOR TWO! They must love it!!
I'm getting one
I may get a axolotl for my birthday, I hope so, they cute ❤️
I'm going to get one when I get 14
very very interesting
Very informative. Tyfs!
Around 68 degrees is great also
No come on- but you are actually adorable in the things you say and how you day them
This was so helpful thank you 🙏
wait, if there are actually axolotls that completed their metamorphosis to land-dwelling isn't that a big deal? that one can be bred since it might be the evolutionary link to make more land-dwelling versions
Thanks! This is the last bit of info I needed!
Thank You for the information, well said!! Def Subing to this channel, I love my Axolotlts and can never learn enough about them. Yours Is Beautiful, how old is it?
Thank you. I’m not entirely sure how old Amy is. I got her in March of 2018 but she was already getting close to full grown when I got her. If I had to guess I’d say she hatched sometime in late 2017.
Awesome video !
They need fans ? Wow, I have to tell my friend about that. He is not using them.👍😅 Great video with cool haircut.👍😀
If the room is cool enough you don't need a fan. Some people keep them in basements, for example, and get the right temps naturally.
I’m thinking of getting a axolotl but I have cats so I need to keep it on a stand away from shelfs
Great info, really enjoyed watching, I subbed awhile back and really like your content
Thanks a lot! I appreciate that!
So cute
I cut eath worms for my chubby babies x3 sometimes if they dont eat I worry and give them blood worms
