Hey all, I'm new to the site, been getting so much amazing info from here so thought I'd join too?. I've recently become the proud owner of Aristotle the Axolotl. He's about 6months old and 5.44inches long. But I'm not sure if he's male or female, obviously you can tell I've been siding on the male side but just wanted some experienced Axolotl owners to have a look.

It looks female to me despite the slight bump. The cloaca isn't very swollen

Thanks, guess I may need to come up with a different name haha! Still young I guess so I'll see how it goes.

6 months may be too early to tell.

Yea wait another few months, they don't reach sexual maturity until about 1 year usually, six months is still really early. I was just guessing ?

    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.
