Hey all,

Originally there were two larva that were thought to be wildtype axolotls. One morphed and to me it looks like a tiger salamander. I haven't seen many other salamander species except for axolotl and tigers and just wanted to make sure that it (they since there are two) are actually tigers so that it will get the kind of care it needs. The main reason that I am double checking is that the first one seems to be quite a bit smaller than most when they morph. They were obtained from a pet store in Utah that didn't seem to know exactly what they were to begin with.

The link to the pictures is here Salamander? - Album on Imgur. The first pictures are of the one that has just morphed. I don't have an accurate size measurement but they both fit easily in the hand. The last picture is of the currently un-morphed one.

Thanks for the help!

    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.
