I just bought some live food for the first time, i put some little shrimps in with my axolotls , one of them appears to be annoyed by the shrimp. looks like he is being tickled and has sudden bursts of movement. i can't see that they are eating them yet, can anyone let me know if this is normal ?
 
Sounds amusing!

Wait until night, turn out the lights, and watch them stalk the shrimps.
 
I had to remove some of the shrimps cus there was too many in there lol
 
It's typically a good idea to quarantine anything you plan on introducing into your tank for about 30 days. You never know if there are parasites or something harmful that could be acquired through the pet shop.

    Hello, I’m looking for fire bellied newts that will ship to Ontario, Canada. Are there any captive breeders here? I’ve had many in the past and I’m looking to get a pair for my 12 yr old. I will be the care taker!

    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
