Here’s a tip for any parents who are thinking of getting a pet for their child: make them do a presentation of it. In second grade I wanted a hamster so my mom told me to research about it so I did. I took a big paper and wrote down facts about hamsters, a list of what they need and a bunch of other stuff. It showed that I did my research and was passionate enough to not get sick of a hamster immediately and then we just put that paper above the hamster’s cage.

Tbh your content really got me interessted in aquaristics as a whole. the amount of care required for a mere goldfish let alone an axolotl is astounding considering the amount of misinformation out there. love your vids and your hard work!

Hi Soda! I'm doing a research on axolotls for my biology homework and this video seems helpful! Thank you so much, you are great :D

a good size for an adult lotl is actually a 40 gallon breeder, because of the amount of waste they produce this size is enough to allow the nitrates to build up for weekly water changes, smaller tanks tend to lead to nitrates to build up faster and therefore more water changes are required :)

i love your vids! You are basically my idol, animal keeper, cosplayer, axolotl owner.. you are basically the person i wanna be when i grow up!! Keep uploading and never stop, i love your vids!

Hi I'm getting first axolotl next month. And I'm beyond excited. I've been watching all of your videos. I have the coolest 20 gallon tank my dad is helping me get set up

First time catching a video of yours from one minute ago. 6 views. Love ya Soda, you're saving the petkeeping community!

My Axolotl had Fungus and I used Methalin Blue and Black Tea. It worked really good the Fungus was gone in about 3 days.

I never plan on getting an axolotl but I am still here to learn 😌

Oooo thanks for making this video ❤ am watching it rn!

Important note: I'm not an expert, but I believe that bare bottom tanks are not good for axolotls since they get stressed out from the lack of grip.

Hi, got my 1st Axolotls today, I will be putting her on a 4 foot Aquarium & getting a few more. Thanks for the info, I've been doing more research & come by your video. 🇬🇧

Thank you! This is what some people would have really needed :D

I have been watching you for years on my old YT account and I am thinking on getting an Axolotl so I looked up some information on them and I started to watch this one because I was like "Oh hey! It's Soda Pets!" and I realized I wasn't subscribed on this account and that's why I didn't get you on my recommended but now I am and I love your videos so much😊

For my friends in the us, get a window unit. I live in an area with 103 highs and it has kept it at 59-60 F on the hottest days.

Thanxalotl Soda. Can axolotls thrive on a diet of the prepared foods mentioned or do they need live food too?

thank you for this!!! the employee at the pet store told us that stress coat was good for the axolotl but i wanted to do further research. thank you sm!!

I LOVE the color of your hair ❤ and of course what you're talking about is very interesting too 😊

I rescued an axolotl and it came in a massive tank with gravel bottom. Am assuming I need to now remove all the gravel.

Glad Yuki is getting better

7:02 I just wanted to say that everything I've heard about plecos potentially eating slime coats, from pleco experts, is that they only do this if they're very hungry. So long as the plecos are well-fed on good quality, appropriate food they are very peaceful and harmless. I would recommend you check out Keeping Catfish for advice on plecos, including specific diet advice for different species. 7:22 Yes, plecos are dirty fish that poop a lot, so that is definietly important to remember. They can have quite a negative effect on water quality if you're not careful about it - make sure you do lots of water testing if you have plecos. They also absolutely need their own food, this is very important. Most need some protein, not just algae, and in fact sole plant-eaters need wood in their diet, and whatever they need, they need more to eat than just some algae in the tank, they need their own food. But plecos are lovely fish, I certainly love keeping them, and they are completely harmless as long as they're well-fed. And it is true that they keep the glass clean, which although messy glass isn't harmful, it certainly doesn't look nice and it's a big bonus to have a fish that cleans it for you. Plus, plecos come in lots of different sizes, depending on the species you get, so you could absolutely find one too big to eat.

Thanks for the info! I'm getting 2 axolotols tomorrow, so I'm doing a ton of research. I live in New Mexico, and our summers are very warm! Our temperatures easily reach the high 90's. My one concern is keeping the water temperature down. Loved your video!

I Love your videos! Take it from Walter, they are awsome!

7:04 if you keep your plecos well fed they probably won’t do that, but it’s still a bad idea because of the fins can hurt your axolotl’s

Its great you love animals so much...

needs to be cycled? then how about those babies that needs 100% waterchange? and the rescued axolotl that u have?

Thank you so much :) really helpful for my pet Axolotl :D

Thank you so much for doing this video 🐾❤️🐾

I have four axolotl in a 60 gallon tank two albino and two wild caught ones . They are wonderful pets I just love them .

Saw some axolotls for adoption but don't anything about them. Glad to find your channel and this video of Do's and Don'ts. Don't think I'll be able to provide suitable care so it's a pass for now. Sad but less sad than inadvertently hurt them!

Ty for the help my fam is planning to get a axolotl and i done a alot of rescreach

I wish more professionals made content on this subject matter. Hobbyists have no tangible information worth taking in tbh

hey so I have an important question, I plan on getting a axolotl next year, and I cant find any help on how big the rocks should be in a axolotl tank, because im honestly worried since they have a suction system im afraid that they might inhale stuff, would 6 inch smooth rocks be okay?

That’s a pretty Axolotl I love them and what’s that net in your tank I wanna get it for my axolotl

I know this is kind of off topic but 6:47 Why is there a chicken outside the window lmao

WHAAAAAA my friend and i appreciate these do’s and don’ts

I check off all of these things ! I would like some advice though. I feed m6 axolotl bloodworms. I tried to feed him earthworms but he didn’t like them and hid them under his feeding plate so when I went to clean his tank there was a pile of earthworms under the plate. What should I do?

Thanks for the information if I ever get an axolotl

They are on the verge of extinction

Lovely video I have a axolotl they are amazing animals but I love mine xx

i have had a axolotl for 7 months now and i want to get another one will a 40 gallon breeder (about 150 Liters) be suitable for two adult axolotl‘s

For two axolotls I recommend a 55 gallon tank minimum especially if you find out one is male and one is female you will need a tank separator unless you want nothing but eggs in your tank I am speaking from experience which I have had a lot in the last couple years

i got an idea for you. Remove the birds out of the room because i got earraped everytime he chirped (i had a headphone on) but still lol

You should do a video on your opinion of popular pet-tubers.

My tank is 50 centimeters wide. Is that fine?

I love axolotls but I feel like I would mess something up bad and it would die if I got one

I tried two in a 30 but it didn’t end well now im upgrading both of them to 50g tank and its way easier with waterchange

Mine is 30 gallons and i have 2 axolotls in one tank and there perfectly fine

Can someone plz suggest something I use to feed my axolotl crickets because that’s what pet barn said but after watching this video I need to get earth worms but no we’re near me sells them

hi i have a axolotl ive had her for arouund a year i used already cyclyed water nd it was okay but idk if was just lucky or?

What about a guppy being with an axolotl

how do you keep tank plants alive and healthy

thank I got an axolotl a couple weeks ago a

I hope more people watch these pet care videos like yours, because I've heard that some people started impulse buying axolotls because of the Minecraft update and still have no idea how to care for them. I hope your channel gets more attention from other people because your content is very educational for those who don't have a lot of pet keeping knowledge 🤍

Hello Soda Pets. I came across a KZfaq channel named "REPTILE FEED" and I don't know if you've heard of that channel or not, but I am genuinely disturbed at the thumbnails and video titles. I don't want to even look at their videos, it's disgusting.

How did axolotl's ever survive in the wild? This video really has me wondering lol

I love amphibious

Do they dk alright with live plants? Do u put urs with other fish?

Is it okay to get big rocks (like the size of his whole body) off the ground and put them in their tank? There completely smooth and I boiled them in water and the conditioner aswell. Also, when changing the water weekly I take about 20% of the old water and put conditioned water in. How much of the prime condition should I be adding to the new water?

Nujirendu-jin desuka?

i have a well with no chlorine or other treatments in it. can i use the tap water or is that unsafe? also, do the earthworms have to be alive?

Are rocks smaller than a head safe to put in if they’re buried in the sand???

Where can you bye Axelot?

The nutrient cycle?

hi I got told axoltols needed 60degrees-68degrees farenheight for tempature is that bad or

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Is a 20 gallon tank okay for an axolotl

اوه هاي سودا

DU I HAVE AN AXOLOTL... In minecwaft :3

Girl why u calling it a nutrogen cycle

I hope next video shows more pictures of Ghost. Soda has two axolotls. Toothless and Ghost.

You referred to axolotls as having “genders” and i would just like to give a gentle reminder that animals do not have genders, only sexes, and conflating the two terms is harmful to the trans* community by reinforcing bioessentialism

Do you have a boyfriend?
