    Hello! I have been made aware of something I missed out in this video. Axolotls in fact have both gills and lungs!
    Good luck guys and thanks for watching! 👍

    finally! so many people put them into bare bottom tanks with plastic plants and fake driftwood because "it's easy to clean" so what! you're supposed to provide the best possible life for them. which is what this dude is doing, thank you

      Hello!
      The plants in this tank are all relatively easy plants which don't need CO2. I have cryptocoryne, hydrophillia siamensis 53b, limnophila, microsorum and java moss. The vine coming out of the filter is pothos. All the plants were from Tropica and comes in packs. Hope that helps 👍

      I would try my best to keep it below 18 degree celcius, which is pretty easy here in the UK 😂.
      🤔 I've never had issues with growing pothos in cold or tropical temperatures. Maybe start with a cutting and allowing it to root in the water, that what I did with this setup.

  • @caderas5
    @caderas5 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi i know this video is a year old! But how to keep your plants green and from not melting? i've read fertilizers are poisonus to axolotls because of the iron?

    • @alasdairaquatics
      @alasdairaquatics  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not sure about the toxicity of iron to axolotls, either way it's a trace element in our tap water for most countries. I ended up rarely adding fertilizer to this tank as toothless created a fair amount of waste(nitrogen) and then my water changes replaced the trace elements which the plants were using up. Also these were very easy and hardy plants so I didn't worry too much about their care as they thrive in almost any aquarium from my experience. The plants I used were anubias, microsorum, limnophila, cryptocoryne wendtii and moss. Bare in mind lots of plants melt when first added to an aquarium as they are adjusting to new water parameters, so if it's early on and you see melting I wouldn't be too alarmed, the same goes for plants grown emersed. Good luck and thanks for watching!

    • @alasdairaquatics
      @alasdairaquatics  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Different sites say different things. Personally I think that is enough water volume for two as it is roughly double the size of my tank. The main thing to consider is the footprint of the tank, you'll want a tank with a large area for the axolotls to walk around as they spend most of their time walking. Something long and wide rather than really tall. Also keep an eye out for aggression between them. Bigger is always better though! Have a look at other tank on youtube for ideas 😁
      Hope that helps! Good luck! 👍

    Ey up! Great video. I was just wondering whether you know the footprint of that aquarium? I am trying to work out whether a 70 litre ( ~ 15 gallon ), with a 50 L x 40 W footprint might be adequate for a single juvenile axi.

    • @alasdairaquatics
      @alasdairaquatics  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Some sites recommend 10 gallon per juvenile but i think 15/20 gallons is better. Just bare in mind they can grow up to a foot long when adult 😁. Sounds like you will need to upgrade in the future, they do grow pretty fast. Good luck with your axolotl endeavours!
      Thanks for watching! 👍

    • @alasdairaquatics
      @alasdairaquatics  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The footprint of this tank was 60x36cm roughly 20 gallons. I think this really is the minimum size. I ended up rehoming toothless to a hobbyist who had a 200litre so hopefully hes happy there 😁. Hope that helps!

  • @xander.pierce
    @xander.pierce 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    what type of maintenance do they need when it comes to water changes, filters, pH, etc, and how often?

    • @alasdairaquatics
      @alasdairaquatics  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      They definitely need a filter with cycled filter media, although they dont like strong flow. Sand or bare bottom are best because they can choke on gravel. They are a cold water species. Ensure ammonia and nitrite are always kept at 0. I would not let nitrates go above 20. My maintenance was a 50% water change weekly. My pH sat around 7.4.
      Hope that helps! They are great animals! 👍

    • @alasdairaquatics
      @alasdairaquatics  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi there,
      unfortunately I didn't film the setup of this axolotl tank when I planted it. However I followed the normal method of setting up a planted fish tank which my channel features a lot about if you are interested.
      With this axolotl tank I placed some plastic light diffuser to keep the bottom of the tank safe from the rocks. I then added a layer of fine sand and planted the plant roots straight into it. I used easy low demanding plants such as Limnophilia, java fern, anubias, java moss and some crypts. Other than that I add a small amount of liquid fertiliser every few days and the tank is still going strong almost a year later!
      I hope that helps.

      Most websites say 20 gallons is a minimum for one adult axolotl but once toothless grew I found it to be a little cramped... I therefore rehomed him to someone with a 250 litre aquarium to live out his best life 👍. I would say just be prepared to upgrade to a larger tank down the line as they grow quickly.

    Hey I have a question obviously its been a year since you filmed this how is your axolotl doing, have you had to up your tank size and has it ever tried to jump out as you have no lid on your tank. I'm asking as I'm looking at getting one myself and want to get everything right so any advice would be so appreciated

    • @alasdairaquatics
      @alasdairaquatics  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello, sorry for the late response! He was doing great in this setup for over a year. I ended up rehoming him to someone with a 240 litre aquarium I just felt that he needed more space, I was sad to see him go but glad to know he will be in a big tank. Some places online say 10 or 15 gallon minimum and I would personally suggest at least a 20 gallon if not more for an adult as they grow so quick! They are amazing pets and so interesting to watch. I never had a problem with him trying to jump out I just kept the water level a bit lower in case. Although toothless would occasionally swim up and splash a bit of water 😂

    Hi man, don’t see this comment as hate, just trying to help! They do get air, which isn’t strange, they have lungs and they also have gills so they sometimes choose to get air at the surface, Not weird at all! The lights are also kind of unnatural to the axo’s. They live in murky lakes in Mexico, so they don’t like lights at all! Try to put a PVC-pipe in there, you would see that the axolotl spent more time in the pipe then in the light! :) Axolotls don’t see. They are practically blind! They use their sense of movement to eat. You can see this when you put your hand in the tank, the axolotl would start to react to the movements in the water. A good food could be earthworms. Don’t feed them something else like crickets ( way to hard of a shell ). In one year, your axolotl should be pretty close to FULLY grown. ( if you feed them good foods ). Have owned them over 15 years know! Love the tank, once again, not hate, just trying to learn you something. I have been working and studying axolotls since I was 5, so I know a thing or two! :)

      Hi thanks for the comment! Like I said I am not an expert. I have looked into it and you're correct they do have both lungs and gills which is amazing! Thanks! 😁 I understand what you're saying about lighting. Which is why I mentioned to beginners to use no lighting or dim lighting. In my case I am using dim lighting, this is to keep my live plants alive, the plants pull nitrate from the water, increase oxygen content in the water and benefit the water quality. Water quality to me is very important. As I'm using dim lighting I have provided a cave which I made using driftwood and rock and Toothless can use the dark areas of thick plants if needed (used to have floating plants to keep the whole tank dimmer but Toothless ate them 😂) . I also recommend to viewers to do their own research on this matter. But like I said in my video Toothless very rarely uses his dark cave and spend almost all his time out in the open under the light and I am yet to see him become stressed by this. If he seemed stressed I would make a change. I hope your axolotls are well! Thanks 👍👍👍

    Toothless is a melanoid HOWEVER he’s a melanoid wild type in my opinion because he isn’t fully hyperpigmentated he has freckles of various colors like wild types do he just isn’t as light colored. My albino bred with my melanoid and had babies identical to toothless. And just to cover all 4 types a lucistic is basically an albino with black eyes they’re the most common axolotl in the pet hobby (also out there are yellow, a soft brown color, and chimera where they’re split down the middle black and white and many others). Frankie’s axolotls on TH-cam is super informative if you’re interested in the water dragon way of life.

    NO! Axolotls are a sepret creater from a salamanders. When a salamander is young it looks exactly like a axolotl. Axolotls NEVER morph there for makeing it a SEPARATE specices.

      Salamanders aren’t just a single species, they are many many different species (axolotl’s included). Axolotl’s have evolved to remain in their larvae stage and don’t metamorphose into adult salamanders unless of stress. Ive read iodine can sometimes make them transition but at the cost of a much shorter lifespan.

      Axolotls will transform into a terrestrial salamander if injected with thyroid hormones

    Please turn off the light!!!! That is too much light for the axolotl!!!! Even though it has a small hide it isnt enough!!!! Axolotls dont have eyelids so please turn the light off!!!! I cant even look at the tank because it is too bright, how do you expect that a axolotl can? Turn off the Light!!!!

    Sorry. But axolotls definitely 10000000% breath air. They call it booping. They swim to the surface and..... boop air
