Hello.

A friend went on holiday and left her axies in my care, and lo, they bred. So I have about thirty hatchings and have a couple of questions, if anyone wouldn't mind humouring me.
For one, when should I separate them? Right now they're all in a tub and have plenty of room. Can I wait until they're larger?

Feeding is causing a bit of confusion for me, they eat their Baby brine shrimp and I've set up at hatchery, but I'm not sure how often to feed them. If I feed them more frequently, will they grow faster?

They're about a week old now, some less. They're getting little arm nubbins through. I'm thinking they're wild and yellow as the two girls in the tank are dirty faced and yellow, the male is wild type.

Any answers would be very much appreciated.

    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.
