Re: Hi

I'm just wondering how you got your axolotls to breed. Was there a special way you did it? A breeder I know puts his axolotls in an icecream container, puts them in the fridge for a week, and then puts them back in their tank to breed them. How do you do it? Mine have laid eggs but it was a bit unexpected.

Re: Hi

Hi,

my axies do that all alone, without my helping hands.
Late in autumn they begin laying eggs, some weeks (6-8) later they lay again and so they do till spring comes.

Re: Hi

Hi Jye,

Axolotls are prolific breeders.

To increase their chances of breeding successfully, ensure that you have a pair of healthy sexually matured axies of opposite sex.

Keep their tank environment optimum. Ensure good water parameters and temperature. The presence of aquatic plants and hiding spots do help as well. Also keep them well fed with nutritious food types - earthworms etc.

Stimulus for breeding includes temperature changes and difference in photo period (amount of light exposure). Thus, gradually decreasing their temperature and light exposure could be the trigger you require.

In Australia, Axies tend to breed between May - Aug, to coincide with the cooler (darker) winter months.

Cheers.
