What Can You Keep With an Axolotl?! | The BEST Axolotl Tankmates

What can you keep with an axolotl? Today we're going over the best axolotl tankmates that can live alongside your aquatic water puppy! When picking tankmates for axolotls, just remember that though they are pretty peaceful, they will also try to eat anything that will fit into their mouth. Be mindful that whatever tankmate you choose needs to have the same or similar care requirements and also will not harm the axolotl. This limits our options to cooler water tolerant, peaceful species of fish, invertebrates, and even other axolotls.

Huge thanks to all my current patrons for allowing this channel to be the best it can be!

I keep my axolotl with fancy cardinia shrimps . They do fine together . Some do get eaten but not a high number. My axolotl is a slow poke and shrimps reproduce a lot so it’ll works out

For those who don't know, she posted a post on her instagram and said that she moved to a new state 5 months ago, she got a full time job and she might not have time to make videos.

I keep cherry shrimp with my axie she will definitely eat some but the smart ones tend to live longer lol. One managed to survive a few months without being eaten. Though for anyone looking to keep cherries or rather any invertebrates with your axie house the main colony in a separate tank that way you can have an unlimited amount of shrimp to give to your axie when they eat the ones already in the tank.

I keep cherry shrimps with my axolotls (because it was a different tank before and couldnt get all shrimps out lol) but it works really well for me .. they don't seem to care for the axolotls and they are faster to actually getting eaten😂 Lots of people say axolotls are predators etc. but mine are really lazy😂😂 ofc different personalities exist ...
also I have 2 axolotls and they really seem to like each others company so I would rather suggest 2 ones instead of fish (although they should be around the same size cuz as u said they like to eat eachother lol 😂
Nice video keep up the videos with the axolotls I really like seeing mochi 🥰

hey! thank you for posting an axolotl vid! there my fav:D and im so glad to see Mochis lil sweet face again! I just recently got an axolotl from this exotic pet store near my house! and his name is Neptune! and thank you sm you have really helped me learn a lot about them so I can take care of one! and btw neptune is a GFP but dont worry he was born that way:)and he also looks a LOT like your axolotl! he is a Lucy:) and he has freckles on his face! and he LOVES to nip my fingers but honestly I like when he does that.... its SOOO cute! and he lives a normal axolotl life😉😺 and he has a 55 long gal tank and is still young so he lives alone. :D

I have a 100 gallon heavily planted tank with sump system (68 degrees) and 3 axolotl, 2 hill stream loaches, 5 kuhli loaches (I know it is supposedly a bit too cold for them but they are happy and fine), a dozen or so white cloud minnows (they reproduce as fast as they get picked off almost perfectly), 4 (2 normal, 2 albino) bristlenose pleco and some ghost shrimp that live and breed in the sump and find there way into the tank and a handful of big mystery snails and 2 angel fish (I know it is too cold but i don’t have a tank for them). It has been going on 2 years now and other than the white clouds and shrimp getting picked off here and there everyone gets along great I have never had not a single issue. The angelfish were given to me by a friend and I know it is not ideal for them but is going on 2 months and they seem perfectly fine so far, and the alternative was for him to flush them. I just wanted to put my story here as I read so many horror stories about cohabitation and I think it is way over blown. I’m no expert so take this with grain of salt and this is my first aquarium but for almost 20 years I have been experimenting with cohabing different species of frogs and lizards that the internet would tell you not to and I’ve never had a problem with it so I felt pretty confident I could pull the fish off with the axolotl. I kept a very close eye on them for few weeks and only intro new species every couple months. I also tried Cory catfish and guppies but the lotls ate all the guppies the first night and killed all the Cory’s (without eating for some reason) in a few days.

Getting my kids a musk turtle on Christmas eve 🎉😊

[olivia-nfnz]

This has nothing to do with axolotls, but I just bought a turtle and the water is a little cloudy and is it still ok for my turtle?

[totoki]

Love your video. Thank you for the info !

[SnorgYippee]

Im glad I have a axolotl with relatively short gills (no she isn't sick) and I would try putting minnows with my axolotl.

[justincronk]

When she said if the fish start to nibble on the axolotls I started laughing cause anything I’ve put in the tank with my axolotl stays as far as possible after seeing how he eats them with the quickness.😂

[hehhhhhhhh]

Hey ! I would like to ask if a 55 gallon tank with a large no water area on top of the tank ( with basking lights ) with no filter ( I do regular water changes every 2 days, I also feed my turtles in a different tank during feeding time cause they are messy eaters ) is an OK environment for two male southern painted turtles . Thank You !
