Seidge, your axie is a young one, still a child. They become adults at approx 12-18 months, and the adults usually measure 8-12inches. Mine is a very funny, entertaining female, 1 year old. She absolutely loves riding the bubbles as yours does, and sometimes also attacks the bubbles.Too...

Hi All! Can somebody recommend me a cooler that actually works well at cooling the water and is not too expensive? For a tank with about 100 litres water, please. Also if you have bad experiences of a cooler, lemme know as well, so I won't waste my money. I got an AquaMedic Mini Cooler, that is...

Hi! Does anybody know where I cam buy a min-cooler in London? I had ordered one from a net company, but they are messing me about,so its better I go and buy one myself. Any info appreciated! Anywher in London area is fine.

Seidge, if your axolotl is an adult, he only needs to be fed about 2-3 times a week. He also could be bit nervous still about moving house. Axolotls can go up to one month without eating. As I see you are in the UK, main worry is your tank temperature. If the temperature goes to 24C or over for...

Sorry. 1 common pleco and 2 axolotls. Have used Stresscoat and MelaFix as well as salt baths and chlorine water. Nothing helps. Really am at a loss at what to do. 1 of the axolotls especially has gotten really ill with fungus recently. The rest ok'ish. Am at my wits end on what can I do? I don't...

Many thanks! I think I have to sterilise it cos have had fungus for a month, andmedicines not helping. The water in the tank has also gone really green, I don't know why. I have been changing 30% of water every 2 days recently, but the green just keeps getting worse. I can hardly see the back of...

I will have to clean my tank througoutly cos of bad bacteria, with bleach etc, so this will also get rid of all the good bacteria. I don't have anywhere cycled to put the fish in to afterwards. Is it safe to put them in uncycled tank, if I do big water changes every day? I know this is not...

Many thanks for your replies. I am getting a different medicine today then, from my lfs. getting really worried, as it has been going on for so long. Should I clean the whole tank and everything in it with hot water and bleach? I would have to put the fish in a bucket, tho, and also I know by...

I am getting very worried, as am not able to get rid of fungus in the tank. It started 4 weeks ago, and has been getting better and worse in 'cycles'. Sometimes it affects the eyes, sometimes fins, back or head.I have used salty chloramine water and malachite green. All the water readings are...

Hi! Does anybody know of any vets in London, UK, who have specialist knowledge in fish/amphibians? Am in East London. Millions of thanks in advance!

Mr Oink? Haha, fab name! Is he quite an active turtle?

Aww, such a sweety. How long do they live? 100 years +?

You can find all the info you will need on axolotls on www.axolotl.org. Good luck caring for your axie. I have two, and they are such characters :)

Oh yes, there is lots of herbivorous lizards and amphibians. You can for example do a google search on them. Good luck :D

Hi! I hope somebody can help me. I heard there is a chemical I could buy from a normal chemist/pharmacist, that kills the bacteria in new plants, without killing the plants themselves. This chemical is strong enough also to kill snail eggs etc, that may be hidden in new bought plants. Apparently...

Anybody??

Hi! Does anybody remember the name of the chemical that kills all the snail eggs etc on new plants? I think it is some chemical that can be bought from a chemist/pharmacist? Any advice appreciated. Thank sin advance

Shivvy girl, hi. I have 2 lovely happy, healthy axolotls, and you can too. As Jenny said before, the best site is www.axolotl.org. They also have a message board, where you can post if you have any problems with your axolotl. Bloodworms are a good food for axolotls, you can also give them soft...

If you have big fish that do a bit bigger poo-poo, a turkey baster works wonders! Sooo easy :)

Thanks all. Will check out all those small filters, thanks.

No, I don't have a filter yet, I can't find any so small! That's part of the problem, am a bit at a loss with this

Hi all! I bought a small tank (only 15 litres) as a hospital tank. Unfortunately I don't have space for a bigger one. I was just thinking is it even possible to cycle a tank this small? Or in the unfortunate event if a fish becomes ill, shall I just fill the tank with treated tap water? Or with...

Hi, many thanks for your ideas! I found some dividers on sale on internet, but all are the wrong size! (I need 36" x 40"). So I'm gonna try one of your ideas...But am not too good at DIY...Maybe the plastic canvas would be the easiest? But how do I fix it to the sides/bottom of the tank? It has...

I have a 55G tank (over 4 feet), which I need to divide into 2 parts for about a month (waiting for a baby to grow up before I can put him in with the others). How do I go about dividing the tank safely? Is is possible to buy tank dividers from somewhere? Or should I just go to glass store, and...

The see-through shrimps that are sold as food for meat-eating fish, are they ghost shrimps? I am talking about the ones you can buy very,very cheaply, like 10prawns for 50pence (under a dollar)?

Hi all! Hope you can help me. How long do I need to keep new fish in quarantine for, before putting them together with other's in the main tank? Which is the most time it may take an illness to show?

Hi All! I am looking for a leucistic axolotl female to keep company to my other axolotl. Does anybody have any for sale, or have seen any in the petshops in London, UK area? I am not looking for a baby axolotl, but one that's at least 5" in length. Many thanks in advance :)

I had a pleco with my axolotl with no problems. I think this was due to the fact they were both about the same size, 6-7". Often they would sleep in the same hiding place, and had no fights (Possibly cos my axolotl is a bit of a bully and pleco was real timid!!) I kept the water at 19C, so it...

Haha, I know that situation. I have an axolotl ( hoping to get another one soon), and she sometimes mistakes my finger for food! Her teeth are not sharp, but she takes her time to let go off my finger,hahaa.Too funny

Hi, can somebody help me? I'm in London, UK, and looking for a leucistic (white) axolotl female. She would need to be approx. 7" in length and healthy. If you know of anybody/anywher that is selling, please lemme know. Many thanks in advance :)

Thanks for your ideas. It's a common pleco. He is about 6-7" long, so how old would that make him? I have been leaving his pleco biscuits in the evening, but he just doesn't come out to eat before I leave. I have stayed for hours, no luck. And some weeks ago I bought an axolotl, as apparently...

The filter is Aqua One Power Filter. 1200 litres per hour. The water comes out so strong that even things at the bottom of the tank keep moving around. Pleco is still ok, but axolotl gettin a bit stressed, as if she goes to that end of tank, she'll fly,huh. So I tried to block it with ducktape...

Another silly question coming, so hold on tight (lol); Every time I syphon, I seem to have the same problem. Lots of water comes out, but poopoo, broken off leaves from plants etc, just keep swirling around in the main part of syphon. They cannot go through the sieve/colander that's fitted in...

Many thanks for quick replies! I will try what Squid said, and hopefully it helps. (Outlet is at the top) My tank is 55G, and I think filter is called Filter No1. (Will check tonight when I get home). Water comes out at the rate of 120 litres., huh. I did tell the lady at lfs what it was for...

I am sorry, this may be a stupid question. But I have had my pleco now for about 3-4 months, and he is very shy & timid. I hardly ever see him. He doesn't come out of his hiding place even if I put the tank light off. Only time he comes out is when it is totally quiet and he knows there is...

Hi. I hope somebody can help me. I have an underwater filter which blows out water at a horrendously high volume. Things go flying in my tank. And so does my axolotl. My pleco is ok, though, as he is strong. Anyway, this is definately a problem. This is a new filter (my old one broke), and the...

Thanks again for your really valuable info! From now on I will buy that thing to use on new plants I buy. And Blinky000, I have now also registered to axolotl board, lots of good advice! What really spooks me is that you put them in the fridge when they are ill??Huh?I got plenty to learn!! Ok...
