Question: Axolotl hikari algae wafers pellets, are they good for my axie???????//

[mudkip246]

I just got my axolotl hikari algae wafers pellets. just wondering if these pellets are good for my axolotl? Should i gotten the hikari sinking carnivore pellets instead?

Axolotls are carnivores. They don't eat plants (unless they accidentally suck some up with their food). You need to check if the nutritional values of the carnivore pellets are good for axies and see what they're made of before feeding it to them, but the algae wafers are no good, sorry :/

Those are made from algae so no not good for axies. The carnivore pellets aren't too bad from my experience but those I fed the sinking pellets didn't grow as quickly as the ones I fed Axolotl pellets despite the HSCP being slightly higher in protein and fat than the axie pellets I have go figure.

Take those back if you haven't opened them or have no other use for them and get the carnivore pellets instead.

You won't have done any damage with just one or two so don't worry about that. The problem would occur if it formed the staple diet for a period of time. The algae wafers don't contain everything an axie needs and would lead to a deficiency in your axies diet and more than likely poor health would result.

can i feed my axie reptomin too? could that be a staple diet?

There are plenty of members who use reptomin, it's up to you.
