One thing that minecraft axolotl and real life axolotl have in common is that they are both adorable af
-I love how everyone is just responding with a 'yes'
yes
yas
Yes
Yes
Definitely yes
I have a friend who plays minecraft and I was talking to him about how I thought it was cool that minecraft was adding endangered animals into the game to raise awareness and he went "i don't think axolotls are real" AND HE SOUNDED SO SURE OF HIMSELF I DIED LAUGHING
IM WHEEZING HERRGGH
😂😂😂😂😂 that's so funny
There’s still idiots out there that think that silverfish are a Minecraft exclusive, and not real insects.
I love the stupidity of the people who say Minecraft made axolotls. Last time I checked it made creepers and endermen and all those things.
BRUUHHH
I was worried more people will buy an axolotl, and not know how to care for them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I hope people do research before adopting a new friend.
Mhm pet “trends”
or a slave depending on whos owning them
@@frokydafroakie oh my god, i never even realized that was a thing. im gonna be getting one in the next few months, and i want to SHOWER it with love. i want to use long tweezers (washed off and cleaned before being used) to feed my axolotl blood worms. i also want to feed it three things, Salmon pellets, blood worms, and brine shrimp. it’ll get plenty of interaction, plenty of vitamins, and plenty of love! i also want to get java moss for it, as i want a soft plant. i also wanna get moss balls to help with the water, and im gonna learn how to do water changes and tests.
(I wrote an essay that took two hours to write, all about axolotl care and how i’ll pay for it, and i discussed it with my parents.)
Literally tho. Mostly like Minecraft UA-camrs keep posting stuff like “I DID SOMETHING TO ___’S MINECRAFT AXOLOTL BUT BOUGHT ___ A REAL ONE!! he/She FREAKED out!!!” And buy axolotls without knowing how to properly care
Thank you! My kids are obsessed with them since the minecraft update. I was looking for a video to show them to explain how they aren't really a pet we can take care of properly, and that minecraft isn't real life lol.
Thank you for taking the proper steps to help educate your kids and don't just cave in to what they ask for.
you are a great parent by doing this and actually caring for what the pet needs. tons of kids ask their parents for pets that they dont know proper care for so the parents just end up buying the cheapest and worst care stuff for them like buying a goldfish a tiny fish bowl or feeding birds seeds and putting them in a tiny cage etc.
This should be the standard of parenting. Instead of just plain saying no, educate them on why it's a no
This is a great parenting strategy!
BUT MOOMMM IT'S AN AXOXOXOLLLL FROG SALAMANDER THING I WANT IITTT 😭😭😭😭
Don’t worry, the axolotl will become rarer in minecraft as they will become exclusive to the rare “lush cave” biome
Shit- I have a coral reef right outside my base and I have like 7 axolotls in it right now
@@JamesCharIes
when you realize axolotls are freshwater:
@@user-qg7fe2ls9n Not my fault, Minecraft keeps spawning them there.
@@JamesCharIes dang
Can you get an axolotl in a bucket in pocket minecraft I keep mf trying to yoink one and take it home but it doesn't work
I adore axolotls. They’re considered functionality extinct rather than endangered in the wild now and recent surveys of their native wetlands found zero numbers of them 😭
well,they are functionally extinct in 80% of their population range except for one lake
@@alphaxenopete8241 yes, I know they only live in one lake in Mexico in the wild. If you read the comment, you’ll see I explained that the survey they conducted was in that lake and their natural habitat (their native wetlands).
@@evilrubberducky92 ah
@@alphaxenopete8241 that one lake has allways been their only habitad, its just that the lake its allmost gone now
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo :'(
It’s awful when unique animals start trending. They typically have very specific care, and are not good for beginners. It also encourages people to impulse buy them without doing any research. So sad 😞
The closest pet I have to impulse buy is cockatiel. My parents didn't want me to have pigeons, aka *domestic birds*
And I had five years reschearch on pigeon's care XD
@I will scream In your ears no some people don’t like certain animals to normal or at least it is to me
@I will scream In your ears Yeah. The good news is, they did help me do research and build them a cage big enough. (In their defense, I do care for a traumatized/rescue dog and a disabled cat and they should have thought is was probably easier)
It is sad...
Yes people, I live where the wild axolotls are and seeing people getting them and dying because they didn’t know how to care for it makes me sad
"the axolotls name is toothless"
what a legend
I love httyd
That name is the best name ever
Yes!!!
Hehe
I have a black Axolotl that my dad father named Toothless and a pink axolotl that I named Kirby, it fits them perfectly
@@yes_its_edd191 Kirby is the perfect name for a pink axolotl, especially because they suck in their food just like Kirby!

I’m Mexican
And I thought axolotls were naturally pink-
But it makes more sense that they are black
I’ve visited the part of Mexico they are from (even saw ones) and the water is VERY DARK, so a white one wouldn’t camouflage as well as a black one
there probably is an occasional pink one just due to albinism, since sometimes it exists in the wild, really cool you saw wild ones tho!
@@ajaxc766 yeah I know
There probably is a pink one out there, in absolute danger xd

Aw that's cute
@@basil3076 same
Really???? Ooooooh, that'll look so cool. 0.0 I'm gonna make a giant axolotl tank in Minecraft. That is my new mission.
I remember back when people kept calling axolotls the irl Pokémon. It’s cuz a lot of people have never heard of axolotls and their first impressions of the animal was that they’re super cute and unusual looking. So I’m not surprised that a lot of people didn’t know axolotls actually existed until Minecraft XD
YES THAT HAPPENED WITH LIKE HALF OF MY FRIENDS AND I WAS LIKE BRUUUUHHHH AXOLOTLS ARE ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ANIMALS
I knew about Olms like 6 years ago, I only knew about axolotl about a year ago, but I still don’t understand why people would call it a Pokémon, it’s just a colorful water lizard with 6 feathery things on their heads. They are completely normal creatures.
MoonRose to a lot of people, it is a very unique look that they have never come across before. So it almost gives off a very mythical vibe to it. Other animals that were described to have a “Pokémon” look include sugar glider, chinchilla and more recently kinkajou. (So a lot of animals haha)
Yeah! The first time I ever saw one was a picture in a book and all my friends and I thought it was photoshopped lol
@@morningrosie3684 Mudkip
Yeah... I'm concerned about people getting them, not knowing what they're doing and keeping them in too small tanks and too warm and dirty water.
Until recently I thought axolotyls were expensive because they were rare but recently I learned that because of them being popular in captive breeding they're like $20 USD - I was like, oh, that's kind of concerning.
It’s gonna be like Finding Nemo all over again. Every single kid wanted a “Nemo fish” and they were all neglected and died early
@@Emma-zs2zu same thing happened with guinea pigs…. I hate pet “trends”
The cheapness is more related to the ease of mass breeding axolotls, there is issues with them being cheap as individuals people think they are a cheap and easy pet when the bulk of the expense is getting the tank and gear and such. Though this pet trend is making me worry people in the Americas will be helping the poaching trade unknowingly.
@@hugebigpenis1 @Glitch Yeah I saw they just put out a TON of eggs and they seem easy to breed, I just didn't realize how many people were breeding them and the cost had already gotten so low. I think that actually means the remaining wild axolotyls are unlikely to be poached - it's not really worth it and they're not in the lighter colors that a lot of people prefer.
But yeah, most of the cost is in getting a proper setup, maintenance, and food.
So the axoltyl is only $20, but to keep them properly you need at least a 20 gallon tank (a lot of people just buy a 10 gallon because that's easiest to get, jut pick it up at Walmart for $11), you need to know how to keep the water clean, you need to buy proper food, you need to keep the water cool (probably can't be done without a really expensive cooling unit if you don't have AC and live in a warm area).
This is pretty much the same as with any cool water fish, but a lot of cool water fish (especially goldfish it seems) are also kept in bad conditions because people don't invest the time in research or the money in an appropriate setup.
You are so lucky

As a Mexican, it makes me really sad how we are struggling to preserve the axolots species and then I see people out there buying them just to neglect them. Its is just so sad and frustrating
I'm not Mexican...
but man I can so agree with this.
This shouldn't be a pet for everyone, especially for children.

Am I the only person who didn't learn of Axolotls through Minecraft, but rather Animal Crossing?
When I was about ten I was playing ACNL I didn't know what kind of animal Dr. Shrunk was, I thought he was a made up creature, so a friend and I looked it up and discovered he was an axolotl and I fell in love immediately.
Nice seeing axolotls in more video games.
Me who found Axoltals in real life first in 2007 0.0
@@Conifer_Confetti interesting.
I didn't learn about axolotls from any game, I learned them from stuffed animal axolotls then started liking them lol.
When minecraft axolotls were released I got kinda worried cause of the "pet trends" and worried they were gonna get mistreated and put on land so cheers to everyone who researched before getting one
I still don't recommend an endangered species as a pet for kids under 17 bc of daily life and responsibilities.
If ur young and have proved to alot of people including ur parent that ur SUPER RESPONSIBLE and done ALOT of research...
Only then I pray that it never gets neglected or abused.
Or gets improper care.
I only hope the best.
Too bad for you they did
I have 3 axi’s and offer advice to other people. Just noticed today at least 3 parents asking what they actually need for axolotls and whether they’re kids pets or not.
Axolotls are not beginner pets
Scientists are actually trying to figure out how axolotl‘s regrow their limbs so they can get humans to do that- I’m sorry if I’m incorrect
@Salty Syren oh thanks! I wasn’t to sure!
Cool
I believe there is already a technology for that, just not released yet, but idk.
*INFINITY FOOD SUPPLY FOR CANNIBALS*
my axolotl has 5 feet!
Well for starters, real life axolotls don't hold a grudge against an ancient bio-mechanical species of cyclops-pufferfish that can shoot lasers out of their eye.
or zombies in water that kill literally any person that touches an ounce of water.
What
Or sleestaks that take you to their lair to feed you to their god if you stumble on their ancient temple
Minecraft added axolotls to raise awareness about how endangered they are. But I feel like everyone wants to get one since Minecraft released them. They just want one to get one and ‘seem cool’ or something -_-
Give them proper care 😢
You don’t need to worry. Most people aren’t going to spontaneously buy one just because it’s in a game they like.
As if you would find one in your local store
But they did not add sharks because they are endangered species.
The reason Mojang didn’t add sharks to minecraft is because they didn’t want people going out and messing with sharks, but they’re doing the very thing they once stood against now that axolotls are in the game.
@@ball_python1 since when is the apparently one species of shark endangered?
Let's hope that my classmates don't go straight up to me saying " you have an axolotl because of Minecraft right ? " 😁💔
I once talked to someone who though axolotls were a made up animal that Minecraft invented for the game😭😭😂😂
Where are you from? it's sounds like the typical (usually by American users) story of a friend or relative who is really stupid and ignorant about everything out their region
@@MB-hh2dh it was just a funny story dude there isn’t any reason to make it about where that person lives or where I live.
@@maiag6319 Oh, it's nice then, I was meant to ask the country, not your exact ubication, i usually hear many stories of this kind by people from the US
@@MB-hh2dh not everyone will know everything
oh no ive started a war
5:38 actually, the ocean and cave pool spawns are temporary, as mojang is intending them to be in "lush caves" which will be decently rare cabr bioms that will be added in caves and cliffs part 2
I don’t like pet “trends”
Because of minecraft little kids want to buy axolotls, their parents allow them to and they might not have enough money so they don’t properly care for them and don’t give them enough attention. Then when the trend dies down the kid looses interest since they don’t do much in the tank. I want to say that it really ain’t minecrafts fault because they added them in to spread awareness but they should of added a disclaimer like “ do not own these as pets if your under 13” “they can’t go above water in real life”
It’s like what happened with guinea pigs. They got popular and little kids were keeping them in pet store cages and not caring for them because they just saw them online and wanted ONE ( not a herd only one guinea pig which is not good)
I have 4 guinea pigs right now and they are in a 5 by 2 c&c cage and I am very lucky that my parents allow me and understand the proper care. I first wanted them because my friend had them and when I looked after them I fell in love and I did a lot of research and I got 2 boys for Christmas and I must confess since it was my first time they lived in 2 “big” pet store cages connected with a tunnel because I thought that it ment they had a big cage. But please stop these pet “trends”
I agree with you, never buy a pet unless you’re going to take full care of it and show absolute love towards it.
I agree I was so worried about forgetting about my fish that I put my fish into my 40 gallon family fish tank they are ok now
Oh Im sorry I did my info gathering tho..Mine is 2 years old
@@AlabamaBjtch 🥺
At least you did your homework
Hope he’s ok
I first noticed them when the ones in Minecraft came out, I had never heard of them before and thought they were quite cute little creatures. I did more research on them and found a lot of amazing facts about them and thought they were very interesting. Now I am obsessed with them. Not because of Minecraft (or well a little because that’s where I first saw them, but I didn’t know what they were) I am getting one because they seem really cool and interesting and adorable too. I absolutely adore them and I don’t care about the Minecraft axolotls, they sure are cute in Minecraft too but that’s not the reason I want them. They truly have my heart with their little teeny tiny hands, and I have done lots of research on what they need and how to take care of them in the best way possible. Even if Minecraft was the reason I found them doesn’t mean it’s the reason I want them. But I understand that there are some kids that want it just because of Minecraft and they won’t be able to take care of it properly. I think they are really fascinating and I’m probably gonna get one in the middle of autumn somewhere when I am able to take care of it.
No one:

Just incase anyone wants to know
@@thesupernaturalhouse ooh interesting thanks heh
To everyone commenting that it's sad that minecraft added them: No, it's really cool that kids like myself now have a reason to go out and research this amazing creatures. Just because some people might not know how to care for them doesn't mean it's a bad thing that minecraft added them. It's leading to kid and adults alike to gain an interest in animals and that's awesome.
It's true to enjoy a video game and learning cool exotic creatures.
But i believe there main fear is (animal abuse) or (improper care) for something that is already going extinct like the dinosaurs.
The blue axolotl in Minecraft is actually inspired by mudkip! It is also the rarest variant that spawns, and only spawns at a rate of 1/1200, based off of the rarity of wild axolotls in real life.
The axolotls also only spawn in absolute darkness and only below y level 63.
Nobody cares about mine craft axolotls this video is educating people about real axolotls and how to care for them and how minecraft isn’t a reliable source
@@gidgetschewy8666 I'm fully aware lmao. I was just pointing out why the blue/orange axolotl exists.
Lol, in 1.18, minecraft axolotols spawn in lush caves.
Yea
I'm a Minecraft pro
I’ve been obsessed with these bois recently! What a coincidence!
Me too!
I've been saving up to get my own gilldren for a few years, ever since I saw an axolotl for the first time! The care and supplies is going to be a lot, but I'm definitely gonna get a albino or gold axolotl in a few years!
Oooo good luck :D
Gilldren is such a cute nickname awww
The white axolotls are actually named “cyan” in game^
No there are to pale axolotls, pink and cyan to avoid confusion (unlike you) they named the “white” one pink and the blue-ish one cyan
two different whites you feel me
@@J17_BT62 the pink axolotl is pink. The cyan axolotl is the name for the white-ish axolotl. The cyan one doesn’t look very cyan, but I was just saying what the official Minecraft name is.
This comment made me happy
People calling them white axolotls triggers me
@@mall0w.Ex3 glad it made you happy then ^
@@vivo_archived Well technically in the game files the pink one is called Lucy
Difference between Minecraft axolotls and real life axolotls: Minecraft axolotls are human friend and they kill squid every second and real axolotls dont eat squids and they are smaller than minecraft axolotls and real axolotls can't live in the ocean.
A while back, my grade went to a college for a field trip who had axolotl's. They had a bunch of babies and asked if anyone wanted them, of course almost everyone wanted one. I wanted one as well but I knew that axolotl's needed a lot of care that I probably wouldn't be able to give. I watched a lot of students sign up to get one of the axolotl's and I knew that they wouldn't be able to take care of them properly. Thankfully though, I don't think any of the students who signed up to get one actually recieved them. Yeah it's a bit unfortunate that they signed up for nothing but I think it's for the best
oh god that sounds awful. Axolotls need around a 20 gallon tank, or more, and those kids would have probably gotten a tiny tank for it
@@ARCHIVED9610 Yeah, and I feel like they would've forgotten about them a few days later
@@foxpower_1000 im gonna be getting an axolotl in the next few months, and i did TONS of research, but i cannot find good stuff like chillers or filters. what filters / pumps / water chillers do you recommend? im gonna be getting a sponge filter or something to decrease water flow
@@ARCHIVED9610 I'd suggest getting the tanks that Soda mentioned in the video, I'm not an expert on taking care of axolotl's 😅

I was so confused when I kept seeing axolotls in the ocean on minecraft
I have a pet axolotl too (in Minecraft of course because axolotls are need a lot of attention to care for it and I'm not able to do that)
Same
"In minecraft axolotl can regenerate limbs!"
Wow theres new update that adds severed limbs in minecraft?
But it is still quite good that Minecraft has added axolotls to the game as it gives the critically endangered creatures recognition. Mojang (the company of Minecraft) added axolotls to spread awareness about their status. I found out about axolotls around just three years ago. Uh, why is this so long-
Keep scrolling…
This is literally the reason they added them to the game, they literally can't win because people like her complain about e v e r y t h i n g. How about instead of shitting on minecraft, a VIDEO GAME, advocate for parents to, you know, actually teach their kids. If people wouldn't rely on TV, UA-cam, the media and video games to raise their children, we might not end up with generations of idiots of adults that put clown fish in a bowl of freshwater because they watched finding Nemo.
Basically its not minecraft fault peoples parents are fucking retarded. Let's stop blaming people's actions on video games, perhaps??? At the end of the day the parents are the ones that need to go 'no, little Timmy, let's research this first!' or 'no, I'm not buying that'.
Yet they never added sharks because they thought that theyd get endengered and thoughtbkids would kill sharks and do it in real life yet they add they polar bears for same reason

woomy is the best name for an axolotl
I don't reccomend an endangered species to be owned as a pet and if so.. definitely not for children.
( I only hope the best life given )and that the poor creatures don't ever experience,
Animal abuse or Improper care.
That should be illegal by the way in (my opinion)
Leucitic Axolotls can be found in nature, they’re just very very rare. :p
well i have sad new that axoltls are probaly extint in the wild :(
"If you don't want to do that research, don't get the axolotl!" 1000% agreed. On ANY animal.
i recently got an axolotl, and the breeder we bought him from did keep him with one tankmate but we thought nothing of it at first. but only when we brought him home did we notice that all of his feet were very short or basically just nubs. i was super worried because it did look a lot like short toe syndrome, and i was thinking about returning him and getting a different one, but decided to keep him. now, 3 weeks later, i have a cute little man with all of his toes :))) i called him haku like the spirit if the kohaku river from spirited away :D
Plz take good care of it! Don't neglect it and make sure u follow proper research to care for it.
Never take it out of water ⚠️
This is an endangered species it only deserves the best treatment & care possible.
My oldest brother has been putting a lot of time into research about getting an axolotl, such as the diets, how long they usually live and everything like that, this video helped him a bit :]
Edit: He's researching into getting a yellow axolotl by the way! :]
woww!
I remember wanting an axolotl after the Gravity Falls finale (I was super into the code breaking and learned what an axolotl was from Bill's message) but I learned how much work they were and that made me not want one (thankfully). But now, especially with this video, I feel like I could get one in the future
Getting a pet because you purely saw it on a game isn’t the best idea. If you done tons of research into it before getting it and are 100% certain you can care for it irl and understand how it’s different then fair enough but dear god, don’t expect it to be the same as your virtual companion.
I'm getting a new tank today and hopefully getting two Axolotls next week!
Been wanting them for years, done my research and now my mum is driving a good few miles to get their 180L tank and we're getting decoration tomorrow.
Struggling with names though-
You can wait until you kniw their genders to name them. That will also give you time to get to know them so you can name then bases on their personality.
TLDR: Don't put axolotls in buckets and force them to fight against big mechanical fish-like constructs.
Hey 17 year old minecrafter here just wanted to say minecraft mainly add mobs to bring awareness to then being endangered! Also I have finally got a huge glass tank for my ones it's like 5 in a big tank and I love then so much
It's a honourable idea, to add animals into the game bc they're endangered, but making them tameable/ watered down n makes them seem like easy pets and creates this trend of wanting to own them, similar to how jaws created massive phobias to sharks when most species are harmless and the aggressive species only bite by mistake or curiosity.
@@jaaaaaacccck Huh, I didn't know that about sharks. That's actually interesting and I'll probably look into that more when my computer is charged.
On a related note, I think it's more the parents of those kids fault. It is honorable, but I think Minecraft axolotls are too common and easy to catch. In my opinion they should make it harder to have one in game, and have information on the real animals they include. Trends might still spark even with this, but I think the information part at least could discourage some or make some look into it more.
As someone who used to (and to an extent still does) want every animal they see, as a younger kid, sometimes the main thing on their mind is "animal i like/think is cute, I want!" from there the parents should say no or educate. Pets aren't something people should by on a whim. Research is needed. Minecraft wanted to raise awareness, and while that's commendable, I think instead they unintentionally sparked immature adults or young kids to want to impulse buy axolotls. I think it's sad. Especially as someone who has researched axolotls, and now does research when I come across pets I want. At the moment I can't get one, but when I move I'll revisit to see if it's ideal then.
With kids impulse buying, I think the main issues stem from parents not saying no or informing. I get that the kid would be sad/disappointed, I was hella mad when I was told I couldn't have an octopus at age nine. But not now/do research first doesn't mean never. And I think that's what younger kids still need to learn/are still learning.
As for adults/older teens (like 15-16+) that's just immaturity and I just hope they'll realise what they got themselve into and at least try to give the axolotl the care it needs.
Anyway, a lot of people see pets and think it's a cute friend forever, without realising animals have inidival personalties and care requirements. It's sad, it makes me sad. I hope the trend ends soon so people who can't care for axolotls aren't buying them and so owning an axolotl isn't reduced to "inspired by Minecraft" and i hope the younger kids who want one can grow and learn. Ah, this is long my apologies, just wanted to add my thoughts and didn't know where to start, I'm not the best at wording things.
Thank you for that shark fact, I genuinely had no idea they were rarely agressive and bite mostly due to curiosity and mistake. Definitely have to look into that later. I love animals and enjoy learning about them. Hopefully anyone who wants a specific pet will share the same or similar view/process.
I hope yoy have a swell day mate.
@@toastedbread1362 So the only reason they’re so common right now is because the biome they’re meant to spawn in isn’t added yet! In the second part of the update they’ll only spawn in the rare lush caves, so that might help with that!
Axolotls spawning in oceans is only a temporary feature. After C&C Part 2, They will spawn in lush caves.
I've actually wanted an axolotl for a few years now, and seeing them in Minecraft made me remember how much I want one. It didn't create a new want for them, just reminding. Anyways, I'm hopefully going to be getting one pretty soon! I've been watching a lot of your videos and they've been a great help into researching what I need.
A lot of people: **buys axolotls just because they were in Minecraft**
Me: *sees the axolotl* aw. That's cute. **does research aggressively**
kinda cringe
@@wokk9543 thanks
This is more like a last check up for me ! i wanted to get these cuties for now a year and i did do my research on them so nothing here really was new for me but i now know that i am gonna get my axolotles from a rescue store or how its called- anyways thank you for making this video i think its very good that kids learn that axolotles are indeed animals that need much care!
Although minecraft has axolotls, I’ve known about them way before! It’s really sad since the reason minecraft added them was because they are an endangered species, not because they want all these people hyping them up just for them to be ignored and neglected. Although I have wanted one for a while, I know very well currently I do not have the time for one.
Real ones are real, minecraft ones are cheaper
they cost 3 virtual iron lol
@@eiko1 yes… I said that
@@yourteacher1005 no me
The thing about finding axolotls in oceans in Minecraft won’t actually stay that way. Currently they only spawn in light level 0 and 5 blocks above any stone, but when 1.17 pt.2 comes out they will only be in lush caves
My dad's girlfriend owns a daycare and she added an Axolotl and the tank has no sand, no rocks, no filter, and no plants.And it just sits in the back of the tank all day while kids scream at it and try and take it out.Ive told my dad's girlfriend it's wrong but she says I'm wrong
that's so terrible...
You should tell them to at least put a small hiding spot...
Omg show her videos. That’s legit animal abuse
Actually, you don’t want a heater in there. That will kill them since they require cool water.
@@mewstation i dont think a heater was mentioned
Axolotls are my absolute favorite animals, but I wouldn't get one personally because I don't feel like i could perfectly care for one.
That’s very responsible :D hopefully you can get one someday
@@Emma-zs2zu Maybe someday, yes. For now I am very happy with my two cats ^^
I just get sad seeing some comments seeing them saying they did buy an axolotl just because of Minecraft and not doing any research I got really sad, I saw someone saying they were 10 and bought one because of it and it made me mad because first of all why do you even have an account? I’m pretty sure to have an account you need to be 13+ and you or your parents not doing any research and just going on Minecraft just makes me mad…
I love how Minecraft added Axolotl's in all, but it really does encourage kids to impulse buy them and I've noticed it a lot recently. I'm just glad people are doing their part on trying to help educate them, so thanks Soda! My friends younger brother, who is around the age of 11, recently bought 2 Axolotl's without doing any prior research. His tank is not the right size for two, he uses small pebbles which can be easily eaten by the Axolotl's, and he has also has no filter and no light as of what I know. From what my friend has told me, he already wants to start breeding his Axolotl's. I tried to warn my friend, telling her the right requirements and for her brother to simply watch a few UA-cam videos or something, anything to educate himself. I just hope he can realize what he's doing wrong before its too late,
I remember seeing their fish tank, the tank had no filter and no light, the tank was green and had not been cleaned in weeks, probably months, and the fish barely moved, it was sad to see them like that. I just hope the Axolotl's won't turn out the same.
The same thing happened with his guenia pigs, they were practically wild, he had 2 outside that lived in a small hutch under a trampoline, and he would often forget to feed them. Not long after they got killed by some dogs.
I forgot but there's more... they have an aviary outside full of budgies, they won't stop breeding and they keep having to make bigger cages. They also recently bought love-birds who also live in an aviary, and they plan to breed and sell their babies.
Sorry for the rant, it's just sad to see how younger kids can treat their pets.
I love axolotls in game.and.out especially and I understand that they are REAL animals and are completely their own being. So that must be treated with respect or like you would to anyone
A learned about axolotls just before they were announced for minecraft. A spent months doing research and prep and now I have had my little water sausage for a month and I do not regret it.
u play Minecraft?! I didn't know, same!!
1:43 "So obviously Minecraft is a video gam-"
her birb: mum, I have decided, I'm a helicopter...
my mother’s face when i walked up to her and said
“i want an axolotl”
and she told me to learn about how to care for them and i said
“okay”
dude she was so surprised-
anyways
question that you might know the answer to and might not
in minecraft axolotls will fight things, like if they’re in the ocean they’ll fight drowned which are basically zombies but if they can’t fight it like they thought they play dead
do they actually do that or is that just minecraft?
I had a stroke reading that
@@Dxrlinganon no they dont
They don’t purposefully play dead and what they’re actually doing is just sitting here Bc that’s just kinda what hey do. They don’t do it as a defense mechanism.
Here’s to hoping more people start doing research before getting axolotls. They’re really sweet creatures and they deserve to be in the hands of someone who knows what they’re doing. The thought that my Mochi could have ended up with an owner who impulse bought her is so upsetting to me :’(
I'm glad these lovely creatures got added so they can finally get the love they deserve. I am also kinda sad about it though because some people will just impulse buy one just because it's in the game.
I like the reason for the blue axolotl existing in the game even tho the fact makes me sad. 'The probability of a blue axolotl spawning is 1 in 1200 because that is approximately the number of axolotls left in the wild in real life.'
Oh that makes sense I thought it was a Pokémon reference (midkip)
@@jackpitt8316 I think the color is for that but the spawn rate for how many are left
Mojang: *Realises axolotls to aware ppl*
Ppl: 0-0 i want that
3:17 Help! I can't unsee it anymore but-
Ranboo axolotl
I'd like to see a video on yours thoughts on glow in the dark axolotls.
The blue colored axolotl was a user suggestion that is actually a reference to mudkip from Pokémon!
When I see that goldfish swimming in the background I always think it's swimming upside-down because of it's color lol
1:15 fun Fakt: the Inspiration of the light/Night furry in HttyD was the axolotl
Thank you
I’m not getting an axolotl but I love them and I was worried about this thing happening
But I did a ton of research for a school project
Tooth less: *kisses camera*
Herat melts
I've also always since I was 7 wanted an axolotl so them being in mine craft made me super happy
I would like to have an axolotl, but I do not have total conditions and besides it is a difficult animal to care for so I prefer to see your axolotl
I would love an Axolotl and have wanted one for over a year, but I honestly don't think I could provide the proper care for one based on my failed fish keeping in the past so I'm unlikely to ever get one as I don't want to get an animal I cannot properly care for.
Instead I'll stick with Reptiles and possibly try again with fish as I was 12 the last time I had fish and I'm now 25 so I've got a lot more knowledge on fish keeping. Who knows if I do successfully keep a fish tank I might get an Axolotl in like five-ten years time.
Thanks I had actually been wondering about this and this video is really informative
It's amazing how you spread awareness about these problems! I knew a kid that wanted an axolotl (not because of minecraft) and he got one impulsively and it didn't survive. Love how you're telling other people! Keep being awesome!
Awww…. Poor thing…
@@KitsuneGB-hc9zb Yea. I was at school the day it passed. He was really sad I felt more sad for the axolotl though.
I’m pretty sure the blue axolotls are a reference to mudkip from pokemon but I’m not sure
Seeing the orange gills, probably
Toothless is such a sweet round baby! I love seeing other healthy axolotls especially after seeing so many neglected/abused on tiktok and UA-cam.
I love Minecraft and axolotls, but I would never get one unless I did a lot of research :)
After two years of trying to convince my mother to let me get an axolotl, she finally agreed as long as I do all the work.
And so that night, I went on my journey of research.
Over five hours, twenty three pages, forty eight videos, thirty one articles and I finally feel prepared to get my dream pet.
The fact that people buy them impulsively is really sad to me and I find it frustrating how little people know about them.
I find it really hard to find axolotl breeders in Sweden, or at a pet store. I only found two people who were selling axolotl babies. The other ones was from 2018 or 2006 or something. But I think they are quite popular now so maybe more babies will be available in a couple of months
Fun note: While blue axolotls exist in Minecraft, they do not spawn naturally and have to be summoned using commands. Perhaps a nod to the fact that there are no blue axolotls?
You can also breed them, but it's a 1 in 1200 chance, showing how many axolotl colors need to be bred irl, and that there are about 1200 wild axolotls
Amazing video I loved it! it's so cute!
I did get the idea of getting an axolotl from minecraft, BUT! I have done read and watched HOURS and DAYS of research and professional care guide videos and websites. PLEASE do your research! I have been guided through the steps of cycling the tank, checking for ammonia, nitrate and nitrite levels, and cleaning the tank. It is a lot of work, so be ready for the responsibility!
I think I'll get a axolotl when I'm older and it'll probably be a rescue one.
you can have mine! uh, same place as soda...
@@stormywolfhowls :0
Minecraft axolotls aren't supposed to spawn in the ocean, btw. They only spawn there now temporarily because the developers haven't added where they live yet, which is a type of cave with a lot of water and foliage called a "Lush Cave".
In all honesty if I lost my foot and grew another one but it had 6 toes (and don't have family from waimate) I'd be fine with that.
I believe the ‘brown axolotl’ is the wild type because it is referred to in the files as ‘wild’ so it is the wild type which actually is commonly that shade of brown and not only black.
Mine was sitting there until I watched him, then he got the zoomies and went back and forth in his tank at full speed, hitting the glass each time. Silly boy
I use to always watch videos of axolotls when I was younger but never knew the name of them, I once asked my mum if we could get one but she said no. Then recently my brother was playing minecraft and showed me the new update log thing, it said axolotls and it came to my head that I thought I had heard it somewhere and decided to search them up. I laughed and realised these were animal I had wanted for a while and here I am getting two in about a week.
