hi there after some advice whats the best way to raise axie larvae so many site sites say so many different things any advice on here
cheers matt
 
Hiya
I have recently raised 10 babies.

I kept the eggs in small tubs and did water changes every couple of days (dechlorinated water)
Once hatched i fed them on baby brine shimp. (i hatched the brine shrimp)
I also changed their water daily 100%


Once they get bigger you can start them on live bloodworm, mine have their back legs now and are about 4 months old and are on frozen bloodworm. I am slowly introducing pellets to them - but they have little interest just yet!

Thats the basics really
Just need to keep them well fed and water clean.

Hope that helps

There are lots of ways to raise them, just a case of finding what works for you. Keep an eye on water conditions and make sure they're well fed; you shouldn't have many problems.

    Hello. I’m looking for some input. My axolotl is about 7 months old. I came home and her gills are completely white. I was reading that they do shed around this age. Could this be why her gills are white? The ph is 6.5-7. Nitrates are 80 Nitrites 0.5

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu

    I believe my axolotl is constipated. I got him 8 days ago and have not seen any poop in his tank. I have a 20 gallon tank. No other tank mates. 2 hides and a bare bottom. I didn't feed him the last two days. His belly looks swollen and dark in color. I believe it is the food you can see. I fed him blood worms and soft quick sinking axoloty pellets. I tested his water today. Ph was 7.6. The nitrite and nitrate were both zero. The ammonia was 0.25 ppm. I was advised to cycle my tank due to the lack of nitrate. I added Seachem stability 10 ml to my tank yesterday and 5 ml today. I have a tank chiller. The water temp is set at 64. He is still active, but his tail floats up when he is moving about the tank. I am on the fence about fridging him. I also don't know how long to go without feeding him. I don't want to harm him. Please help asap. Thank you.
