It is certainly worrying. There's a real lack of knowledge out there about how to care for them, the need to cycle tanks, etc. These are precious creatures which need love, proper care and knowledge.

Axolotls are "forever young". Unlike other amphibians, axolotls keep their adorable juvenile features, like their frilly external gills, for life. They never "grow up" into a land-dwelling adult form and remain aquatic, adding to their unique charm. #axolotls #axolotlsofbluesky

Axolotls should be kept in species-only tanks. Fish may nip their gills or be eaten, causing illness. Plecos, catfish, and snails can harm or block digestion. Crayfish and crabs may injure them. Only Cherry and Ghost shrimp are safe, though they may still become snacks. A peaceful, solo tank is best

Axolotls come in various colors due to genetics and breeding. Common types include Wild (green/brown), Leucistic (pink/white), Albino, Golden Albino, Melanoid (black), Copper, Mosaic (rare mix), Piebald (spotted), Axanthic (grey/blue), and GFP (glows under UV light). #axolotls #axolotlmorphs

Did you know?💡

Axolotls are only found naturally in one place in the world? They're found in the lake complex of Xochimilco in Mexico City. This makes them critically endangered in the wild due to habitat loss and pollution.

Axolotls usually stay aquatic with feathery gills, but they can transform into land-dwelling salamanders when exposed to hormones. This rare change is stressful and shortens their lifespan, so most axolotls remain in their youthful, aquatic form forever. #axolotl #salamander

“Did you know axolotls can regenerate entire limbs, parts of their heart, and even sections of their brain? These ‘walking fish’ (which are actually amphibians) are basically the superheroes of the animal kingdom!” #axolotl

Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon was inspired by animals like cats, dogs, and axolotls. Black axolotls, like Toothless, are rare, playful, and have a sleek, dark appearance. Both share a youthful, mysterious charm. Excited for the HTTYD live-action movie in 2025! #Toothless #Axolotl #HTTYD

Did you know that the name 'axolotl' comes from Aztec mythology?

Xolotl was the god of fire and lightning, and the twin of Quetzalcoatl. He was also the god of the underworld.

Cycling your axolotl tank is crucial for their health. It involves growing beneficial bacteria to break down harmful waste like ammonia. The process takes 6-8 weeks, but adding used filter media or live plants can help speed it up. Regular water testing ensures safe levels for your axolotl.

So happy with these little guys! Developing beautiful floofs! #axolotls #axolotllove

We've moved our leucistic babies into bigger containers today. They're doing great!

Note that axolotls are cannibalistic and if you put them together and they're significantly different in size, they may well have a chew on gills and legs.

Ready for homes end of Feb. Pls message for reserving.

Did you know axolotls exhibit an exceptional resilience to cancer? Researchers attribute this to a combination of genetic, cellular, and regenerative factors. Studying axolotls and their resistance to cancer may lead to breakthroughs in understanding cancer prevention and treatment in humans.

Did you know? 🤯 axolotl babies have a unique growth pattern? Their front legs develop before their back legs!🦎 Isn't nature amazing?

Very exciting! Hopefully to get some baby black melanoid axolotls (Toothless) next year! ❤️

It is always best to do lots of research or message us for any questions before you decide to take on a mini Toothless of your own. #howtotrainyourdragon #httyd #axolotl
