Hey

I've been keeping tropical fish for ages now but last week I picked up an axolotyl at a pet store, mainly because i've always wanted one and also because I had a tank doing nothing - it only had 4 zebra danios in it.

My question is does anyone know much about them? They told me to only feed him twice a week, but that seems cruel!!! But I will if that is all they eat.

Also something else, after taking the danios out and putting the axy in i've noticed over 30 tiny fry in the tank - at least I am pretty sure they are fry. Do danio's have live fry??
I don't really want them and i'm sure the axy will finish them off as they love fry and tadpoles :)
 
Being an amphibian they don't eat as much as we do, so feeding twice a week would be more than enough...and yep, he'll gulp down those fry sooner or later...lol...maybe I should get one of those to take care of my guppy fry !

Oh, do a search for them on the internet, I do know there are some pretty good sites out there with lots of info on keeping them.

Good luck with your new bud Galaga ! They're a pretty cool critter !
