I am so happy I found your video you have answered so many questions I have had for years about safe plants for my axolotls, I have very large tanks for my 11 axolotls, boy tanks girl tanks "I'm not a breeder" Oh I am going today to get a sweet potato for each one of my tanks you are very informative and you take your time to show and teach about each plant. Keep up these great videos they are awesome. Thank you from all my sweet axolotls too.

@The_Scriggles 5 жыл бұрын

swords are rosette plants, different than stem plants significantly. some good stem plants to try would be rotala, pogostemon stellatus, or bacopa carolinia. they would be good with the axolotol and stand up to a pretty significant amount of abuse.

From what I’ve seen and read, maybe you should try a layered mix of plant soil, gravel and sand. Soil on the bottom, gravel for a filter and sand so they’re (axo’s) are safe if they accidentally consume it during feeding. It’s something I’m trying this weekend

@rootbearfloat2757 3 жыл бұрын

Lovely video! I had a few questions, however: - Have you owned any axolotls before these two? If so, did you use a similar tank setup for them? How did they fair? - Did you raise your axolotls with the plants from juvenile stages, or introduce the plants after they matured? - Any issues with getting certain plants uprooted by your axolotls? Thanks!

What do you do about gravel vac? typically a substrate that breaks down like that one theres a lot of trouble with actually vaccing the substrate without taking a bunch out or clouding up the tank. are you forgoing the gravel vac and just doing a water change with some occasional spot cleaning feces with a turkey baster?

What shrimp can I get for my axolotl? I want one that is fast breeding and doesn’t harm the axie and also safe when eaten. I accidentally got whisker shrimp but people say it is aggresive

@tylersmith261 3 жыл бұрын

I have had success with Ghost shrimp but I find in a 20 gal with 2 younger axlotols they can clean up 8 of the shrimp in an evening. I now keep the shrimp in a seperate tank for breeding and move them over as needed. My tank is planted and has lots of hiding spots for the shrimp but maybe a 40 gal would give them more space to grow in. There is also special filters that act as a house for shrimp that may be worth looking into Edit: I have also bought peoples "cull" cherry shrimp to feed and they have been great. Any of the cherry shrimp varieties would do well with the axolotols but again they would be eaten up pretty quick
