The start of cycling the new big tank begins! For anyone who’s curious we are using sponge filters that I am letting run in mews tank then I’ll move them to the big tank once they are full of all the good bacteria! We always test with the api testing kit to check the waters cycle! See if you can spot mew on the bottom! Can’t wait to decorate the new tank!

Big things are happening here at the Sota’lotls house! We picked up a 75 gallon tank today and ordered a tank stand that holds our current tank on the bottom so we can keep the boys and girls separated unless it’s breeding time! Ignore the quilt on top it’s to keep the corgi out and from scratching it until the stand comes. I’ll post an update when it’s all together and we get to start cycling it! If you are in need of a tank petco had 50% off aquariums right now!

Let’s talk food!

The best food source for an axolotl is ….

WORMS! 🪱

Yep that’s right earthworms! Yes there are other things axolotls can eat but the best choice is earthworms! Typically nightcrawlers are used. Here at Sota’lotls we have used Canadian nightcrawlers and European nightcrawlers. We keep a farm of earthworms that we just replace the population as needed. Another option is red wrigglers but they can taste kinda sour to some axolotl and they might reject them. Sometimes if red with wrigglers are blanched this will prevent rejection but best option is nightcrawlers.

Worm farming is fairly easy to maintain! We tend to save eggshells and blend them to small chunks and save strawberry top, lettuce and bananas in a gallon bag in the freezer! We feed our worms as needed! I plan to make a separate post on how to make your warm bin at home so you don’t have to keep em in your fridge and go to the pet store as often!

Worms ain’t your thing another popular food is axolotl sinking pellets. We personally haven’t used this method just because worms are cheaper and easy to find in a state of 10,000 lakes. The important thing is to do your research when buying sinking pellets to make sure your axolotl is getting all the nutrients it needs!

Some other snack/treat options can be cherry shrimp, blood worms, brine shrimp, black worms and many other things. We have done most of these and the axos always love a good treat on special occasions! Just make sure to do your research and quarantine any new aquatic creatures to prevent illness. Another key thing to consider is that is will it potentially hurt my axolotl by nipping at its gills or having an exoskeleton that my axo can’t digest.

Where we get our worms is important to make sure they don’t make your axolotl sick. We have bought from uncle Jim’s worm farm off Amazon and from our local pet store. Make sure you check your worms from the pet store we have accidentally got a bad container and didn’t know til we got home.

Feel free to message us with any questions! Comment which food you use or plan to use 🪱

Hatchling update!! They are starting to grow arms! They are slowly getting bigger each day⭐️⭐️

11/10/2024

Are you interested in getting an axolotl? Now’s the time to get your tank set up and cycled! Then when my hatchlings will be available in a few months, you’ll be ready! ⭐️⭐️

Cora from an axolotl group kindly made these educational charts for axolotl tank set ups and cycling. I created the mini shopping list graphic of bare minimum things you need but there plenty other things I could recommend as nice to have or fun things. Message me with any questions!

The main things you need are
-tank recommend 20 gal then 10 gallon extra for every axolotl preferably longer and wider then taller
-cold water tank roughly 60-65*F (you can use fan across the water or a chiller if tank water isn’t cool enough) (since I live in Minnesota we have the tank in the basement and it stays about 62-64 without a fan)
-hides ex. PVC corners, terracotta pots, tunnels or caves
-low output filter (recommend larger then your tank size because p**p ex. Sponge filter, Hang in back, canister) (I don’t recommend ones what have changing filter because it can crash your cycle) (highly sponge filters are cheap and easy)
-bubbler with air control valve (some axolotls hate extra water movement and some love to play in bubbles) (not necessary if you have sponge filter)
-seachem prime water conditioner (some have aloe which can hurt axos, this ones at most pet stores and amazon and proven axo safe)
-something to start your cycle ex ammonia, seeded filter, or other recommended axo safe methods
-api test kit (not strips axos are to particular and strips aren’t as accurate)
-food source axolotls best diet is earthworms but if worms aren’t you thing they make axolotl sinking pellets also might want tweezers to help feed
-axolotl safe substrate see graphic below👇🏻
-live plants can help with cycling but not required see graphics below 👇🏻
