i have two axies bought at same time one keeps nudging the other one around the tank and sits on her and she doesnt move at all why? is she sick?}}
 
Might be male and female. Maybe the one is trying to mate with the other one? Can you post pictures?
 
Mine sit on each other sometime as well, seems normal to me...my wildtype is way more active than my albino. Axies are lazy animals in my opinion.
 
dont know how to post pics
went to the aquarium today where i bought it and she said they may be male and female aswell,
how do i tell for sure
 
Hi everyone! I'm quite new to the world of axolotls but keep 2 that i was given, i think that they are amazing but im one of those people that can worry quite easily if i dont know everything about somthing. one of my sweeties has a sort of red spot on her upper lip and i dont know what it is, any ideas?
also i dont really know how to use forums so any help there wud be gud 2!! ;)
 
hi, i feed them lots of different things, mainly worms, but also locust, crickets, we keep some frozen lancefish just incase we ever runout of live food... they have been known to eat a minnow aswell... what do you think is the best thing to feed them?
 
mine had something that sounds similar to yours except it was on her tail, it was sort of like blood that came up to the surface, it eventually went away. maybe she scratched herself. salt baths wont hurt so have a read around about them/how to do them (its been ages since ive done one so i cant remember exact ratio *i think its 2tbsp to a litre?*) can someone refresh my memory
 
alexis - Would it be possible for you to post a picture of the red spot?

As far as food goes axolotls need a variety of foods to stay healthy, and it sounds like you are trying to do that.

Should you choose to salt bath the mixture is 2 teaspoons of salt in 2 liters of water soak for 10 min.
 
hi everyone, seems that the red spot must have been just a little bruise as it did infact slowly dissapear. thanks for all the suggestions thou, i don't know anyone else who keeps axolotls. its gr8 to have finaly found a forum where i can talk to other axolotl keepers.
