Yeah did you get one?

Ellie Tsotos shame
Saaaaaaaame

Oh god

“He’s cute but stupid” I love you you’re so blunt and cheerful
from my fyp to my recommend on yt, i cannot escape you. is this my sign to buy an axolotl like ive been thinking?
I'm working on world domination in 2020. Glad to hear it's working! :D
did u buy one? if not i will curse ya
@@louzo5175 you're going to be have to curse me, i still havent got one :(
@@stressinabox hahaha 🤣
Hello! I just stumbled upon your videos! I have two axolotls myself and I love them so much. This is probably one of the best videos I've seen and your other one talking about axolotl basic tank products. I work at a local pet store and I go through an axolotl keeping talk at least once a day, so this is normally the talk I have as well! You really did a great job. I do have one thing I think would be beneficial to talk about. Cycling a tank before putting an axolotl in it I believe is important. While you can put them in before and monitor their water parameters, most people don't have the knowledge of the nitrogen cycle and what to look out for when they are cycling. It also gives owners a chance to learn about water parameters before they start taking care of an axolotl. When I first kept an axolotl I had no idea what pH, ammonia, nitrites, or nitrates meant. Honestly it would probably take a whole video to discuss, but this is something I wish somebody would have talked to me about before owning an axolotl. I hope you cover this in the future! Good luck with your axolotl endeavors and well wishes to the lotl babies you are giving so much love and care to! I might just work on rescuing these babies myself learning about your stories. 💖
How to setup a tank for Axolotl =
-fresh clean dechlorinated water
-use bigger stone(they might accidently eat them)like Slate rock
-Provide a lot of Hides for them(they hate light)
-20 gallon long tank is best option
-filtration (with sponge, hose, air pump)
-tank top cover(if u have another pets like dogs and cats, and axolotl can jump out of water)
-Hook up the air sponge to the air pump(20 gallons air pump)
-Thermometer(temperature 60-65°F)
-Bubbler(for bubble in tank water)
-flooville filter(upright position is better)
Thank you so much! I’m doing a lot of research and hope to get an Axolotl within the next few years. Love your TikTok!
We almost have the same last nem
i’m never gonna use this but i’m too invested at this point
did u get an axolotl
@@louzo5175 she/he/they probably didn’t tbh. 😂 I found one and it’s 100 fucking dollars. They are kinda expensive. My 30 gallon tank was about 100 dollars as well. Keep in mind you have to get sand,slates,purifying solution, thermometer, filter,FOOD, and you can get decorations such as plants, terra cotta, and more.
If you read this ty. I have bad grammar as well. Not from here.
@@hiilikemushrooms200 bro I found a golden axolotl for 50 dollars from a breeder I'm not even gonna buy one but still
@@hiilikemushrooms200 I’m planning on getting an axolotl, and most the ones I have seen range from 20-30 dollars! It really depends on the colour type though, as for there is colours that can only be breaded by specialists
@@rem3284 the one I found has been raised very well. It’s all black too
Thanks for this video! I was looking up how you take care of them and found this, From what a read it said a 10 cal tank per axolotl! now I know that a 20 cal is much better. Thanks!
Thank you for this! My lil Polantras will be very pleased ^^
Found you on tik Tok and you have started an axolotl obsession I didn’t know I needed. My husband is not happy, but I have never been more excited for something!
Ow wow. I thought for a second that you didn't have a n y t h I n g in the tank. No filter or anything 😬
Great video!!
Ahhhh!! I have been in love with these little guys for so damn long!! Begged my parents to get one when I was about 10, but after watching all you UA-cam and TikTok videos about them, I am soooo glad she said no! I had no clue about the amount of work that is needed to just prepare everything for them and I know that I would not have looked after it correctly!!
It’s my first time having one of these as a pet and there really cool just a lil mad I can’t hold it but I like looking at them
Thank you for this! I haven't even finished watching but i appreciate you so much!
I'm from Tik Tok. I find this stuff very interesting. Love to learn about aquatic animals.
I have an extra 10 gallon, ordered my baby axy💗 so excited. Will be upgrading to a 20 gal long once he gets bigger. Got all the food, cycled the tank, I’m so ready!
“They’re cute but they’re stupid” me
Like a toddler!
me but not cute
me but not cute x2
me but not cute x3
haha. Same.
Your shirt is the greatest thing ever, I love HTTYD.
I’m planning to get an axolotl buddy soon after I move out, because I’ve been researching them forever and my parents hate amphibians. I’m so happy to be learning about these cuties.
THANK YOU I've been researching like crazy on how to cat proof a tank before i buy an axolotl.
Getting an axolotl in a week because of you.. so excited!! 😁
Fralinger_bt Make sure you do lots of research! 😄
stressinabox I have done lots of research already! But, I am worried about what I should feed it. I googled it and it said to feed it bloodworms, earthworms, or salmon pellets. What do you use to feed yours?
Fralinger_bt You can feed younger Axies bloodworm cubes, but as they get older it’s better to feed them live!
The reson i came is because you inspired me to be a axolotl owner! Of course i will do all the research first!
That face of it its so cuteeee!!!
I’m living vicariously through you and your tanks because I do not have to ability (willingness) to maintain one of my own. So thank you for that! 😘
IM GETTING AN AXO ON SATURDAY! 🎉
I have an Axolotl and I am upgrading his tank, so thanks this helped a lot.

Just a tip for something on the bottom of your tank at my pet shop they sell what’s called Turtles and Axolotl rocks it’s basically some different coloured stones that are perfect for axolotls mine love them.
This will help me a lot i since I am rescaping my tank soon! Thank you!

I have one myself and my friend wants to get one. I sent him this video for his tank setup because I thought it was a great video. Keep up the great work. Also congrats on tik tok!
Currently planning my budget around axolotls
You should make video on feeding them. Do you feed them live worms? I would love to have my son watch in because that is going to be his job.
was recommended this video by UA-cam, i love your tik tok! i have an axolotl of my own!
I’ve asked my mom to let me get and axolotl! Wish me luck!
I was looking for a video of how to set the wager up tbh

Do they need a filter ? Commenting before watching the full video! Lol
I might get a axolotl so where is the list for the stuff that you need exactly because I don’t really see it
Check the description box
Can you talk more about cycling a tank?
I came from tiktok and you are awesome I love your videos! ❤️
☝🏻🤡
You're a real life saver 😊💜thank you so much!
And the kitty is cute to :o
So I have a 55 gallon tank should I have a filter or should I not and also thanks for this amazing video.
Yes always have a filter running the more filtration the better. That’s where the good bacteria is stored
Congratulations on 1M on TikTok ❤️
I'm here from TikTok I love your vibes
VIDEO REQUEST: can you make a video all about brine shrimp and how to hatch and harvest them?
Thank you for this video, very much appreciated with all the links to everything we need. You rock 🤘🏻
Came here form tiktok and I can’t stop watching :D
Im getting axolotl and it's pink to um subed and this is so helful
Early! And congrats on 1 mil on Tik Tok! 😁
Hiii I came here from tiktok!
Question: Since the sponge filter bubbles, would you say that I would need a bubbler along with the sponge filter?
This is kinda late but most axolotls don’t like having a lot of movement in the water it can stress them out so you would only use the sponge filter. I’ve seen some axolotls that like the bubblers and will play in them but most don’t like them.
I found you on tiktok and love your vids sooo much
The SHIRTTTT 😂
Please make a video on how to properly cycle a tank! 😊
I adore your tiktoks! I’m glad you have a youtube!
