Axolotl Mexicanum S

Axolotl lives at temperatures from 10 to 20 ° C (50-68 ° F), preferably at 17 to 18 ° C (63-64 ° F). [21] As with all variegated organisms, at high temperatures if left unchecked for several days, it can show signs of stress such as pale mucous membranes on the skin and anorexia. Other signs of stress, thermal or otherwise, are the turned tail tip, and damaged gills and fin. At high temperatures the animal's metabolism rises, requiring more food and oxygen which decreases in water at high temperatures, but the immune system weakens due to stress and in combination with the increased organic matter load of water that feeds several bacteria, the animal is vulnerable. in infections. Low temperatures lead to a slower metabolism. In such conditions the water should be well oxygenated and kept as clean as possible, with the removal of all organic residues and more frequent water changes, while the temperature should be in the range between 12 to 23 ° C is ideal for the species, therefore normal room temperatures between 18 and 23 ° C are good. Axolotl eats what fits in its mouth, such as earthworms, water worms such as earthworms, waxworms, Tubifex, blackworm or bloodworm. They can also eat fish food.
