Hi all
I currently have 1.1 tiger sals and 2.2 marbleds. I'm interested in breeding them, seeing as barely anyone does over here. Can anyone point me in the direction of good info on them? This forum has loads on tigers, which is good, can't seem to find much on marbleds though....

Cheers
 
I'm not sure but I think it involves at least building an outdoor pond enclosure.
 
A. opacum can be done inside using much of the same amphibian cooling methods that you would use for other north American amphibians. That combined with some simulated heavy rainfall in a terrestrial setup with some shallow water and you should be ready to go. I know people that have used that method in the past at least with good results.
 
Yes, I've noticed that when my marbleds get around 50 deg. if I come in and mist them at night, they come out and head for water. They only do it at night and around that temp (it never gotten colder than 48 in my basement). Hope that helps

    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.
