What happened to your axies gills in the second pic? is it morphing or are they just flat against it's head and we can not see them?
 
I've noticed that in my axies, their gills tend to shrink as they age. Perhaps this is in inverse proportion with the development of their lungs? Or the fact that adults tend to be housed in better conditions (ie filtered, oxygenated water) for O2 exchange than larvae?
 
they are pretty small aren't they... they are actually very/fairly furry looking... they are just down. lol I love that HUGE gill thing.. their filter is at minimum and I haven't cleaned the tank in a couple of weeks - lol my bulb syringe thingy broke. Ah well... they are fat and healthy. Thanks for looking guys!!
 
Nice, I love the yellow albinos. Also, I have some whites and I have some that are around 4 years old and huge!! lol, they actually eat about 1 "fuzzy" everyweek or 2 (thats where they get their calcium).
 
hhhmmm I breed feeder mice - haven't tried a mouse on mine ....
 
Sharn, I saw frozen mice in an aquarium shop today. The thought did cross my mind...
 
It's common enough. Pinkies and fuzzies are a good source of calcium.
 
omg I shudder to think of the poop that I'm gonna have to clean up after... think my imagination has gone over board.
 
The "poop" isn't really any different that that from worms unless the item has fur. The fur can come loose from the fecal and suspend in the tank until the filter takes care of it.

Domestic mice are a good source of calcium as long as the usually high levels of vitamin A are balanced through the addition of D3 to the diet or are used as an occasional food item.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
