Common
questions.
Quick answers about axolotls. No question is silly, so if yours isn't here, ask us.
What do axolotls need?
Cool, clean water, gentle filtration and a roomy tank. They are happiest in cool water, ideally below about 22°C, and don’t need a heater.
Can axolotls live with fish?
They are best kept on their own or with other axolotls of a similar size. Fish can nip their gills, and small fish may be eaten.
What should go on the bottom of the tank?
Fine sand or a bare bottom. Avoid gravel, as axolotls can swallow it while feeding.
Can I check what’s in stock before I visit?
Yes. Fresh stock arrives every week and fish can sell quickly, so a listing here doesn’t guarantee a fish is in store today. Call (02) 6686 0002 or send an enquiry and we’ll let you know what’s currently available.
