Axolotl Care: The Basics

Sorry that around 5 minutes the background music increases too loud for a few seconds! I didn t catch that in editing need to know information before owning an axolotl. If you ve never owned aquatic life before I highly suggest doing deeper and extensive research on the water cycle and how to maintain a healthy tank before getting an axolotl! Do not use any fish supplements or medicines in an axolotl tank- it is dangerous to amphibians. Water conditioner being an exception.
