    Hi Soda, thank you for yet another good video on axolotl care.
    However, I noticed that you have a piece of wood in the aquarium, and this is highly unsafe for the axolotl. When wood (all real wood) comes in contact with water, small organisms are formed. Often it is flagellates. Fish can live well with these parasites in the water. with axolotls, however, it is a different matter. These parasites spread rapidly in the aquarium and attach to the mucosal skin of the axolotle and to its interior. Over time they eat and weaken the axolotl, often attacking the organs.
    Unfortunately this is not well known, outside of Germany (and partially Denmark) as it was only discovered by scientists around 20 years ago, and (I think) all the studies are in german. But for the safety of your (gorgeous) lotl, it is best to only use fake wood decorations and do a big waterchange after removing the real wood.
    I hope this doesn't sound rude, and I would love it if you could touch on this part of axolotl care at some point. Because, as I mentioned before, it is not well known and people often use real wood in the aquarium with their axolotl.
    Best regard
    Louise

    • @marupii
      @marupii 2 роки тому +6

      I’ve seen people boil wood to disinfect it for tanks. does that help the chances of an axolotl not getting parasites? or is it better to not have wood at all? (I don’t have an axolotl, just curious)

    • @louisejensen3086
      @louisejensen3086 2 роки тому +3

      ​@@marupii That I don't know. But I would assume that it does no difference. Just like algae and bacteria, these harmful organisms are very small, and the wood in itself is not the problem. The problem is that the wood is the perfect place for flagellates to multiply and as their numbers increase they pose a great health risk to the axolotl over time.
      I wish I could give you a better answear, but all I know is that all natural wood is considered unsafe for axolotls in aquariums :)

      @@Miku_Berry This is not my personal opinion, but what I was taught by a proffessional who has participated in plenty of scientific papers on axolotls. Wood is harmful because it acts like a breeding ground for harmful bacteria in the aquarium. That is just a fact.

    @FayeFahrenheit 2 роки тому +5

    The white spots are called iridophores and they are not present on all axolotls your axolotl has to have the genetics for high iridophores. They range from white to sparkly gold. I raise axies too and I just wanted to comment that the spots aren't necessarily from age. Although yes, they're almost always on wild types. Goldens can have them too but it's less noticable.

My sister had an axolotl but was moving out, she told us over and over again, that her friend was gonna take him, the day she was moving my dad told her, anything you leave here will be thrown away, she left the Axolotl. I feel so bad for him, and right now we are trying to figure out wether i take care of him, or we find him a better home then my sister. We don't know when the last time she fed him was, as well as the water in the tank is below half the height of the tank at this point
