Yesterday i ordered a male and female axolotl. And im going to breed them. My uncle has axolotls and breeds them he said they are easy to breed them but you have to breed your own brine shrimp to feed the new born

if any one els has had experience with axolotls and there is any thing i should know plz tell me

[Tylon]

Wow! Where do you order them? I always wanted one...

Good luck with breeding them!

[Kurt]

In this country, you can get them from Michael Shrom/Above Average Amphibians. His ads can be found in the Kingsnake.com classifieds.

[Tylon]

Wow thank you very much!

I will be sure to look into it!

[Kurt]

You're welcome.

I have an axolotl! he's called Casper, 'cos he looks like a ghost

Anyhoo, he's great fun to watch! Especially when he's dashing around doing his 'dolphin' impression! Feeding time is also fun! Best of all though, is people's faces wgen they first see him! I don't know anyone who'd ever seen one before.
He's kept in a tank with a gravel bottom (I feed him with tweezers, rather than dropping worms in to minimize the risk of him swallowing any gravel), a small filter (they prefer very still water) and a hiding place (which he rerely uses).

This will sound silly, but you should add visual boundries in the tank. So they dont go fighting. Also there is this really neat site that is the counterpart of this site. Its called
caudata.org

I pop in every now and then. They will be better to assist you on these amphibians. Seeing as alot of people tend to post int he axolotl threads.

Well hope this helps, good luck and great to know people are getting intrested in these fascinating animals.

They don't fight as such, youngsters try to make a meal out of each other's feet and tail if not fed very well.

[spooky]

But eaten limbs do grow back (I'm 99% sure...) they're amazing creatures! I don't have pics of Casper, will try and get some though

[frog boy]

here are some picture of my new axolotl. I am not going to name it yet untill i know if its a boy or girl .I dont know why the picture of its face look yellow their just taken from a diffrent side of the tank from the side on ones. Its not because of the water

[Ebony]

[frog boy]

[Ebony]
