Buy axolotl as pet

Our adorable axolotls for sale available in stock are now waiting for you to be taken into their new homes. Here are some suggestions for prior to and following the purchase of an axolotl:

Feeding axolotl pet

Our axolotls are fed on worms as well as other high quality live food items, based the size of their axolotls and their albino age. Live worms provide the best nutrients and better growth. Worm cubes made of frozen bloodworms can be found in most pet shops and are simple to feed. However, they will only last until the axolotl is about 4 inches and at that point, we recommend changing to live worms.

Worms like earthworms as well as nightcrawlers are among the best foods you could feed to your axolotl. They can help to promote large gills as well as an increase in growth. A lot of people find that feeding their axes using tongs is an easy way to feed their axies. Live foods don't decay as quickly in water.

Tank Cycling

It is strongly advised to make sure that your axolotl has an aquarium with a water filter to reside in. This ensures safe water parameters. It is possible to water cycle a tank on your own by using liquid ammonia or buy an already-cycled filter online (sponge filters are excellent). There are a lot of great tutorials on Facebook, YouTube, etc. about what you can do to cycle your tank of fish yourself if you decide to do it yourself instead.

It is important to note that this procedure could take a few weeks, unlike pre-cycled filters that allow the addition of new residents immediately. If you do not cycle your tank before it is advised to conduct regular water changes every day until your filter has matured to get rid of food waste and uncooked food and check it every day to keep track of levels. When your tank is cycled it drastically reduces the need for water changes.

Tank Requirements Axolotl

The first step is to choose the tank you want to use. It is possible to use an aquarium of 10 gallons for your axolotl However, you'll discover it easier to manage them in a larger 20-gallon tank.

Axolotl produces a great deal of waste. Providing them a larger volume of water can aid in keeping the parameters of your tank's water in check. It is important to prioritize floor space over the height. This means you need an aquarium that is 20 gallons.

Axolotl don't require specific lighting, but they may become stressed when the light source is too bright. A plant-friendly LED light is the best option as you are able to control the brightness while keeping your plants well-nourished.

The proper water condition is essential for your axolotls' overall health well-being, longevity and wellbeing. Temperature: 60-70degF (15-23degC), pH: 6.5-8.0.

Shop bred fish/amphibians can often adapt to many water parameters. Find out from your axolotl seller about the pH of the water it has grown in. Prepare your tank to have it at that level. An equilibrium pH is what you should be trying to achieve.

Tank mates

Axolotls can be housed in a tank exclusively for the same amphibian species such as copper, gfp, albino, melanoid axolotls, provided they are properly fed.

Some other tank mates are also able to be included in the event that they've been properly quarantined and willing to take the risk that they will end up being food! Certain species are more reliable than others, and all tankmates will be compatible, based on the character of the individual axolotl.

Orders placed Monday through Thursday by 1 PM ship the same day via FedEx overnight shipping. Live Animal orders placed after 1 will be shipped on the next day. Orders placed between Friday and Sunday will be shipped the following Monday.

We suggest floating the unopened bag in the aquarium for 21 minutes in case it is found to be a temperature change. The bag is then unlocked and the axolotl removed using a net, then removed from the water in the bag and then transferred into the tank. The water in the bag should be discarded.

It's normal for your Axolotl to feel a little nervous after receiving it, but it's only temporary, and the axolotl will begin exploring its new surroundings in the shortest amount of time.

Make sure to shut off the lights within the tank for at least the initial 24 hours in order to allow the animal to adapt to its new surroundings after being kept in a dark cage and make sure the flow of the aquarium filter isn't overly intense.

Axolotls are extremely durable animals in the case of shipping. Even in the event of delays, axolotls who are well-groomed and taken care of like ours are extremely robust and live arrivals are anticipated.

feed axolotl when it first arrives

If you are the first to receive your pet it is recommended to feed it lighter and more digestible foods in order to allow the digestive system to resume its normal functions. Frozen bloodworms are among the most well-liked foods by axolotls delivered.

It's out of the norm for the Axolotl to be exhausted to the point that they refuse to eat however, if it happens it's not uncommon. When your axolotl is extremely hungry, food alternatives could be provided, for instance cut up nightcrawlers, pellets, or even chopped-up night craw.

Do not feed animals more than the animal will eat, and don't leave unfinished food in its tank or in its container.
