I am wanting to seperate and move some of my babies to other tanks and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on the best way to do this. I was thinking brine net or turkey baster but I dont wanna hurt the little guys... they are .5in I have accidentally sucked a couple up before and they didnt get hurt but dont want to take chances.
 
People say a good way is to suck them with a baster.
If i were you i would just use a cup or a tube-a-ware.
Thats what i think
 
I sucked mine up with a turkey baster....head first so their gills didn't get hurt. :D It's always better to get'em when they're sleeping too...:p
 
sucked em right up with turkey baster. No casualties or injuries.:cool:
 
I use a turkey baster when they are tiny, much easier.

    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.
