Yay! No more gravel.

do they all get along together with having so many in there. i would love to have that many! how big is your tank?. does it get dirty quick?. lol so many questions i only have one female at the moment but i want more! axolotls are so kool.
 
It's a bit naughty but I have a 4 ft tank - max capacity is 8 according to axolotl.org. They all get along really well, so long as I keep them well fed!

I'm registering some nitrite problems now because of the substrate change but normally water chemistry stays balanced with weekly water changes.

The eight I have is six offsprings from the two original tank mates.
 
wow. i have just got a male to go in with my female. and after 2 hours he is starting toleave spermatophore's everywhere! u would think he would have waited a while. how often do urs reproduce. i dont want this to happen too often. so im thinking of getting a male tank and a sepperate female tank.... do u let urs breed?....

i havent seen all this before so im so excited about it...its cool. but im a bit worried for the female she is getting a bit pushed around...
 
Don't panic - just sit back and watch the show!
If she picks up the spermatophores, you'll get eggs in a couple of days. Make sure there's lotsa plants or other surfaces for her to lay on because I'm telling you right now - the less contact you have with these disgustlingly slimy creations the better. Can you tell I don't like em (the eggs, not the axies)

Mine generally only reproduce once a year but some peoples axies do it fairly often I believe.
 
lol. yeah i hope mine dont do it too often. but after only 2 hours togehter?!..lol i hope its not going to be a on going 'trend'. lol
