well this is the video that inspired me 6 months ago, and yesterday i finally FINALLY got my baby copper axolotl. i'm so in love with him already hes the cutest thing in the whole world!

[@likeastarbaby]

+Katelyn Morales i cant believe its been two months since then he's so big now! i love him so much he's so surprisingly friendly and interactive, if you go to the edge of the tank and start talking to him he'll rush right over to the glass, i didn't expect him to be so intelligent tbh! his name is darwin :)

[@stephanieruggiero471]

How do u keep the water cool?? Cause I want one so bad but afraid of the temp not being good enough

[@likeastarbaby]

+stephanie ruggiero yeah to be honest i'm a little concerned about that...i live in a temperate climate but even in winter i've struggled keeping his tank below 21C without turning my radiator off and freezing to death. I'm planning to upgrade his tank to one with a mesh lid (you can see in the video that taylor has a gap on each side of her lid), as I think the issue could be solved with better evaporation of the water. i think its something that everyone struggles with though unfortunately, coolers are ridiculously cumbersome and expensive (even if you have the money it seriously doesnt even look worth doing), and fans are ineffective and loud. i guess i'll just have to cross that bridge when i come to it! taylor lives in fuckin texas or something and seems to manage okay so i'm not too worried.

[@seraphimseptimus6984]

I keep newts, which also require cold temperatures, and there are a lot of different ways to cool the. Some people use chillers, which are very expensive and honestly only make sense to me if you have a larger aquarium, multiple aquariums to cool, live in a very hot place, or you are conditioning newts for breeding (many species need to spend a few months below 55' F to enter breeding condition). For smaller aquariums, other solutions include floating frozen water bottles on the surface, running fans like those shown in the video, running an air conditioner, or placing the aquarium in a cool room like a basement.

If you live in a colder state it would be better for them bc axolotls like the cold water

There are others ways to cool a tank with a cooing fan that can be around 10 dollars or getting a air pump can keep the water cold

[@shamenspace]

they don't need live food and most eat either blood worms or pellets if not earthworms and don't require any coolers if you monitor the water temp, they can't live with other species cuz they often mistake axies as food and can try to eat them and their gills, and I've never seen any of my axies stressed from no substrate. Plus they can swallow substrate which if too big can hurt them

@@steakinbacon8593well, based on the numbers given, 20+10 < 37, so the general answer is, yes. the specific answer is, it will depend on the 2 lotls, in case one is a jerk to the other. or also in case one eats the other.

[@skankhunt42jew10]

everything is illegal in California

[@skankhunt42jew10]

also couldn't you just put a couple ice cubes in the tank

[@thesecretroman]

Ethan Russell that might contaminate the water because usually water has to be dechlorinated before you can put anything in it.

[@seraphimseptimus6984]

But California has newts ... You can float frozen water bottles, but that is only effective in smaller aquariums and causes temperature fluctuations where you want stability. Your best bet is utilising a cool basement/ room, water bottles if you need two or three more degrees, and a chiller if you need to bring the water down more than 5' F. Chillers keep the water temperature more consistent and don't require a human running around with water bottles all day, so they are worth the money for an animal that can live fifteen to thirty years.

axolotls range from $10 plus shipping cost to $60. At my local store they are $30 for babies. On ebay I sell mine for $60 including shipping, and locally I sell for $15 or more depending on the type, age, size, and the money I spent raising them.

[@JulesAskalotl]

An adult axolotl will eat 1-2 nightcrawlers a day. Some only eat one nightcrawler every few days. It depends on the axolotl and their appetite

If you can keep the temp of your house low enough to keep the axies tank below around 68 degrees you should be good to go

+Felix the poop cat a nice day on the west coast can be about 20-28 degrees F. A usual day is 14-15 degrees. And it can go down to minus double digits but we put on the wood stove then

[@JulesAskalotl]

Im in the usa in ohio, and when I first had axolotls, I was in an apartment and would keep the house 68 degrees and kept the axolotls in their own room with a fan to keep them even cooler. I've moved since and now keep them in a basement where they are at 68 degrees in the summer and 55 degrees in the winter. As long as the house is 68 degrees or lower, you are fine :)

[@DF3R18]

Awesome video, just a quick tip on pronouncing Axolotl. In Mexico, we pretty much speak and pronounce places and animals in their indigenous language rather than anglicize them. In Náhuatl, the x is like a sh sound, and the tl is like the second syllable in the word "little". Add that together and you should pronounce it like Ah-show-low-tl. Viva el Axolotl!

PiMama92 that "you shouldnt get any pet" is a bit much. Because there are pets that _are_ easier than axolotls (saying from experience). And depending on where you live can really change what you need to do for it. AND, if something is wrong with the axolotl, there are almost no vets with any experience on water animals, so your pet would die, or suffer a long time.

Nice video, Taylor. Thanks for describing how to take care of an axolotl. I'm fascinated by axolotls from the day I read a fictional short story. They are ancient and so interesting, OMG!

[@Dankonen]

The video was highly informative and fun to watch! I think I might use my tank for an Axolotl next! The lakes where the Axolotl prominently lived were drained to prevent flooding in case you were wondering to the specifics. Including other metrics in your video will widen your public (Celcius and litres, the only ones that use Fahrenheit and gallons is the US and maybe the UK. You are excluding 96% of the worlds population with your use of Fahrenheit due to sheer frustration of them having to look up what a gallon is). Also a friend of mine has a solid bottom with bumps. What's your opinion on this idea? The animal has a load of grip but can't thrash around... He said the animal would be happiest and healthiest this way.

I do not know if she made a cleaning video since this one, or if your question was answered by the response was deleted, but caudate aquariums are maintained the same way as fish aquariums, with the basics of established aquarium maintenance being weekly water changes (~ 20 - 30%) and substrate vacuuming. You want to avoid dismantling the aquarium at all costs to keep from breaking the cycle.

Nice video, and indeed I I've never seen a wild ajolote in the Xochimilco's lake, here in Mexico City, nevertheless there have been important studies in order to restore the natural balance in the lake, also, in the Nahuatl and Spanish pronunciations the "x" is not pronounced as in the word Mexico, the x is pronounced "j" like a strong "H" in English, the word Axolotl is Nahuatl and in Spanish is Ajolote.

If it where me I would use I would use a canister filter with it plumbed to a reverse plenum. Forcing the flow underneath the Substrate throughout the tank will reduce current, and create enough updraft to keep detritus suspended. If using sand, Joey has a video on reverse sand jets. If you pump the water back from a sump it will also oxygenat the lower water column in the tank.

I live in Michigan and my ambient room temperature winter is 66º and in summer 75º. I bought a 6" USB fan for $8.99 at Meijer and lay it on top of my 20 gallon tank screen. I'm steady at 66.6º summer and 66º winter. Simple. Cheap. Happy

[@sjgee9925]

my local pet store has a little baby one and I've had my eye on them for awhile I'm so glad you have this video

[@toneka.r5996]

When you clean the tank do you take him out? If so how? And where do you put him

[@imshook6628]

I recently got a baby axolotl so this video was very helpful! I named it Dr.Shrunk (if you play animal crossing you will understand.....yes he is an axolotl if you didn't notice '.')

[@MAMFortnite]

Did you buy online? I am not sure where to find them.

[@polymerclayfigure]

Why would you buy an axolotl without doing basic fucking research

[@andreajasyl2655]

Where did you get your fan and where can I find some similar

[@leij4247]

Great Video! I rate you 10/10 because this video was informative, and you were honest in your approach. Thank you for this video and I look forward to more great and fun videos about care and life of Axolotyls 😍💕🙂

[@bruhidk3069]

Bro how can u say this is scary

[@AfloatHickory]

Loved the video but what was the random music at 4:55? Lol

[@taylorndean]

I tried to explain in my description. I missed it while editing somehow. Mistake :(

[@cookie_devilkrampus4032]

+Taylor Nicole Dean when axolotl is hangry, he can eat another axolotl. x.x

[@expressmistic]

Idk i changed my mind about owning an axolotl.. I mean its gonna be pretty cool yes!.. However the temperature control and feeding and actually finding the seller of axolotl is abit hard specially if u live in UAE.

[@jorgecartagena805]

I use (froozen) blood worms to feed my Axolotl, Ill unfreeze 2 cubes and drop them in and it seems to love it! have to try the night crawlers next.

[@jonriches4648]

Thank you so much for this Ive spent literal days tryna research how to look after an axolotl and there was so many contradictions and weird words I didnt understand, I like to be prepared for things like this and know everything I can but my friend gave me an axolotl as a present without warning me so I was panicking but this calmed me down so much ty ty

[@luvaavs]

Thanks for this video! My parents are looking into getting me a Axolotl and I told my mom that I was gonna look for you for help with them 😂

[@rayaa2036]

my friend had two axolotls and they made babies and now im gonna be getting one...im so excited!!!!

[@anna_sloth15]

Well I live in Florida and I want one so rip but my house is literally Antarctica so idk.

[@vaandjj2993]

My room is literally the perfect temperature in my room for axolotols!

[@queenoffrance6397]

I NEED ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'ma do a lot of research on this and write a ten paragraph essay on why my parents should get me one for my next birthday!!!!!!! THERE SO CUTE!!!!

[@e4senglish4success24]

I can't wait to say.. you are really cool. the way you talk is just mind blowing... pretty smart!! cool voice...

[@chrisholdsworth13]

I live in North West Queensland and own an axolotl. My axolotl loves its feeder guppies, I feed it 2-3 every second night.

[@mistydrake5586]

I have that exact same Sven cup with my drink in it right now.

[@rox45thexiii]

You mentioned that you live in TX in the other video you posted, where did you get your Mexican salamander?

[@JulesAskalotl]

Axolotls are owned in many countries. They aren't allowed to be taken from the wild as they are almost extinct. The only ones you will ever find are captive bred ones. You can find them online on ebay for sale, or from some breeders.

[@awhalenawbruh]

Verania hinojosa mexican salamander is literally another name for an axolotl

[@thestral1676]

rox45thexiii they are common in captivity

[@LofimusicbyBel]

Nah I'm good.. too much work 😩

[@amberlilly1899]

Perfectly Imperfect it's basicly just a normal fish tank but cold? And bigger worms for food ? It's really not that much compared to any animal

[@seraphimseptimus6984]

Keeping aquariums cool is a headcase compared to keeping them warm, but it is still doable with proper planning.

[@amberlilly1899]

depends where u live because like my turtles tank most the time was below 70 just stting there so i mean + a fan would be fine for keeping it cool enough and then minus that its not that diffrent from caring for most animals

[@seraphimseptimus6984]

I live in the north and our summers can get just as brutal as our winters, so cooling the aquarium in the summer requires a bit more than a fan (I rotate frozen water bottles), but it does not help that my parents refuse to use an air conditioner. Reptiles are by no means easy, but their needs are different, like comparing any other type of animal. Caudates are more sensitive to water quality and contaminants because of their permeable skin, but most species do not require special lighting and receive almost all of their nutrients from one food source - worms.

[@Girl-fw9nl]

Perfectly Imperfect Even though she makes it sound super hard its quite easy. I have one myself. As soon as you get the tank set up all you need to do is feed it.

[@Winterwitch4477]

No offence to your knowledge (because I think you are awesome!, but my little one Loves playing in her bubble wall! It's fun to watch. If I turn it off to clean she will wait in front of it until I turn it back on :) she is the bom. She comes to see me at the glass every time I stop to say hi. If I stop to sit and watch her she always goes to play then comes back to say hi again she is soo friendly!

[@MeezCheese]

I'm so stoked for you girl! You've come so far and legit have the same goofy down to earth personality now and you have 500k subs :) You go girl!

[@billieorrell7232]

For the temperature and having no fan does “Antarctica or something” count as Alaska? This is a joke..ok? But I do live in Alaska

[@AndyPMusic]

Possibly. The easiest way to know is to put a thermometer in a room temperature bowl of water. If it says it's 66 or lower then you don't need a fan.

[@laurenmyers9624]

I plan on getting an axolotl soon and I was wondering if its true that they have to be with other one when they reach 6 inches. If that's true what size tank would you recommend for 2 of them

[@conixx91]

no, they do not need another axolotl in the tank when they reach 6 inches, i've never heard of that before. but, if you're still planning on getting another one, they at least 10 gallons per axolotl, so a 20 gallon tank. although, i personally would get a 30 gallon tank if it falls within your budget, the bigger the better.

[@Gabriel_5836]

AXOLOTL! MY TIME HAS COME TO BURN. I INVOKE THE ANCIENT POWER THAT I MAY RETURN!

[@crowspears3265]

Finally a comment from Gravity Falls!

[@Luke_watch]

One thing on the tank size the minimum is 20 gallon long BUT I suggest getting a 40 gallon breeder tank for 1 axolotl and for every additional axolotl add 10 gallons

[@IMOLDIN]

Elodea is brilliant rarely have to clean once a month max on all our tanks also gives shelter from light give it a try nice video informative

[@morganpfischer4715]

can i feed axlotles feeder minnows plzzzz awnser

[@taylorndean]

every once in awhile yes :)

[@morganpfischer4715]

Taylor Nicole Dean thankyou!!!! I was not sure im happy to say im getting 2 today! They r going into a 30 gallon :-)

[@jennaleonard876]

Yes, I feed mine mainly nightcrawlers and minnows. Occasionally a thawed cube of bloodworms for a treat, but bloodworms really aren't a balanced diet, they are super high in fat. Words of wisdom about minnows now; always quarantine your feeder fish in a separate tank for at least a month before feeding to make sure they're not carrying anything icky. Never feed your Axies their minnow meals in their normal home tank. The up and down bio load from increasing and decreasing amount of animals in your tank will throw your levels off and can really mess with your tank. I learned this the hard way by throwing about a dozen minnows in with my 3 Axies awhile back for them to eat over a few days time. Now, I use a feeding bin. A small rubbermaid box about the size of a shoebox. Put about 5" of conditioned, cool water into the box. Add the amount of minnows you want your Axie to eat. Net your Axie from their home tank, bring them to the feeder bin and put them in there to eat. I usually leave each one in the bin for about 2 hours. Then they go right back to their tank. This is also nice if you have multiple Axies as it allows you to see exactly how much each one is eating, whereas if you just huck a bunch of fish in with multiple Axies you really have no idea if they are all eating the right amount unless you sit there the whole time and watch. Do not panic if you Axies ever suddenly throw up fish or worms. Sometimes they will eat too fast, or too much, and they just throw up. It can be disturbing to watch, but I've noticed it will happen more in Juveniles who just eat too large of a meal. Another thing worth mentioning is that earthworms/red wrigglers/nightcrawlers all can secrete a bitter flavored thick mucus when stressed. They don't always, but sometimes you might see your Axie spitting up a worm or just seeming to have a hard time with it. You might even see the whiteish mucus from the worm in your Axies mouth, or on the worm itself, etc. They can secrete quite a bit of the stuff and some Axies really, really hate the taste. I have one that will not eat worms at all. He learned that they have the ability to do that and now he just assumes they all taste bad. Good luck with yours, they're really neat animals!

[@Emisyourmajesty]

yes, they are carnivores.

[@andreajasyl2655]

I’m getting one on my bday and it’s gunna be pink Thinking of naming it Peach Demogorgon K

[@jimawhitaker]

I don't normally don't feel compeled to point this kind of thing out but...you are stunning.... and a good intro video to thanks :-)

[@chelseaschuster8583]

I was camping in Oregon when I was younger and I saw what looked like a giant salamander in the water and I thought it was the coolest thing. I was in the water with it and just looking at it, the water wasn't super clear but clear enough to see that it was there. It was like sitting on the rocks and I would get close and it would walk off the rick and then swim away. watching this video made me remember that and now I'm really scared it wasn't a salamander and I have no idea what it was
