OMG! Axolotls have become sooo popular. They were the Girl Scout Cookie Mascot this year. Now they will be selling plush axolotls at school Book Fairs.

This hilarious and true!

Fun Fact: Axolotls are able to completely regrow their limbs, tail, gills, brain and heart in just a few weeks. 🦎✂️🦵

Thank you to everyone that came out to see us at Carolina Aquarium Workshop. Had a great time talking with everyone about Axolotls, fish, bettas, plants and scuds.

For those who use Raleigh water for your aquarium water changes.

Raleigh Water will temporarily stop adding ammonia to its water treatment disinfecting process on Friday, March 1st at 10 a.m. Raleigh Water will resume adding ammonia to the water treatment process on Thursday, April 11 at 10 a.m.

To promote optimal disinfection throughout the water distribution system, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality recommends Raleigh Water and all other public water systems using chloramine disinfection switch to chlorine-only disinfection for a minimum of three (3) consecutive weeks every year. This switch to chlorine-only disinfection can produce a temporary “chlorine taste and odor” in some cases.

Raleigh Water also conducts flushing of the water distribution system during this period to hasten the change of chloramines to chlorine residual disinfectant. This flushing may cause some temporary discoloration in the water. The water is absolutely safe.
