Beschreibung

The axolotl is definitely a unique pet, a type of salamander that is completely aquatic. Unlike most salamanders, they do not undergo metamorphosis from larval to adult form where breathing changes from gills to lungs. Instead, they remain aquatic their entire life. Thus, they are not pets you handle, but they can be quite entertaining to watch. They are relatively easy to care for and hardy, which makes them suitable for beginner pet owners. Plus, their dietary needs are fairly straightforward.

Axolotls live in aquariums and do best in cool or room-temperature water with low lighting. Provided each individual has 10-gallons of water they are peaceful in small groups.

Besides a good aquarium pump, you do not need any special equipment to care for axolotls. But, due to their sensitivity to water conditions, their tank needs regular maintenance and cycles.

In this book “AXOLOTL CARE GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS” you will learn everything it takes to feed, care, breed, house, health and helpful tips on how to raise axolotls as pets.

Overview and Background

The Axolotl's (Ambystoma mexicanum) intriguing history dates back thousands of years to the Aztec culture in Mexico. These little amphibians are called after Xolotl, the Aztec deity of death, who is claimed to have transformed into an axolotl in order to avoid being murdered.

In 1863, axolotls were first introduced to Europe. As part of scientific research on limb development, a group of 34 were transported from Lake Xochimilco in Mexico to France. As pets, they rapidly spread over Europe, and the vast majority of captive-bred axolotls marketed worldwide can trace at least a portion of their genealogy to the original research group.

Many fish and amphibian lovers maintain axolotls as pets due to their fascinating biology, adorable features, and huge size. However, axolotls may grow longer than one foot. Also, their lifespan is 15 years. This makes them a substantial investment in both time and space.

Axolotls are typically sedentary creatures that like to relax on the tank's bottom. This activity has earned them the moniker "walking fish." A single individual may be kept in a 15-gallon long fish tank with at least six inches of swimming space.

The salamanders in question are fierce predators. When they are in the wild they tend to consume whatsoever that they are bigger than.

They will try to consume anything smaller than themselves in the wild. They should not be kept alongside other fish and amphibians because of this. Live prey including as earthworms, bloodworms, and blackworms are consumed by axolotls. There are pet species reported to take beef heart parts, raw fish, frozen-thawed Mysis shrimp, and brine shrimp.

With proper care, an axolotl may live for more than 10 years. They will provide any fortunate custodian with an interesting look into old Salamanders. They are certainly one of the rarest pets.

Unfortunately, this species is susceptible to stress, therefore they must be handled with care. This species may be stressed by handling, bright lighting, high temperatures, poor water quality, and powerful currents.
