He's breeding for that 1/1200 blue axolotl, respect
I was looking for this XD
Lol
Lol yes
@@jolieemouse same hahaha

Watching my two babies grow from just 2 inch worms with legs into 13 inch goliath food vacuums was one of the most fun experiences in owning an axolotl. 4 years and going strong.
How long did it take for them to grow to their adult form
oh hey nice to see you here sab
THEY BECOME OVER A FOOT LONG? im sorry but i always thought they were tiny little guys!
everyday digging in the garden for worms
@@laur7247 considering their tails are like half of them they're still pretty tiny
I can't get over HOW MUCH she mentions axolotls. I LOVE them.😁
A few years ago one of my teachers brought in a neglected axolotl and she let us name it. They went with the name I suggested, creepy buddy Aztec, we nursed it back to health and it still lives in the classroom 3 years later.
A beautiful story.
1. How do you stay in the same classroom for 3 years 2. Who tf neglects axolotls
@@TIMOTHYEET69420 same school not same class
You named an axolotl the people who ate them?
@@Not_Nik0 yes but I was young so I only knew they named them
Amazing! I have no room right now but would love to have an axolotl one day
Hi Luke I love your channel 😊
Hi Luke!
You both have same number of subs!! (I'm among them of course)
hi luke. give bubba and dumpy a pea
Luke they are pretty hard to care for btw I have one
Despite their ubiquitous captive population, wild axolotls are critically endangered. The amphibians once inhabited the high-altitude lakes around Mexico City, but habitat degradation has limited them to only in a few inland canals in the area.
A 2019 assessment by the International Union for the Conservation of Species found only between 50 and a thousand axolotls are left in the wild-and their populations are dropping.
Its great that the pet trade can keep this species around. I hope the same happens for the Red Panda
But they contribute nothing to the environment so their extinction in the wild will be more of a cultural loss (since the indigenous people value them like that) without any serious ramifications.
It's better that these animals end up as pets at least they'll be safe.
They have unique properties that allow them to regenerate entire limbs etc in their semi larval state, scientists trying to unlock that method of cell regeneration will prevent them from ever going extinct, they’re far too valuable to the future of medicine and healthcare ^-^

I do anything to watch another one of your videos like this, I learnt so much
The High-xanthophore Super Hypo-Melanistic axolotl is very adorable!
I really hope these animals never go extinct, they have amazing regenerative abilities that our scientists could learn from.
Yeah. They're amazing, I know later on we'll be able to learn more from them.
And soon humans will be experimented on to have amazing regenerative abilities
@@paulandersbullecer3152 I expect it gives these wanted results... Many amputees could have their life back almost or fully funtional.
@@hernanedias554 I like that idea.
Given how meme worthy, cute, and number of captive breeding programs are out there, they likely won't go extinct. Extinct in the wild though? At the risk of sounding pessimistic we may have already reach a point of no return. It's depressing that these guys may be dependant on human care to preserve their species considering our pollution, habitat destruction, and intro of non-native species is what screwed them over in the first place...
This guy is making these cute endangered species survive from extinction. Hope he does this more 😀 (edit: why is there an argument? LOL)
No he isn't. He isn't putting them into the wild to increase the gene pool lmao.
@@zandikaa if he isnt doing this then how would axolotls still be a thing in a few years
@@DownNBaddd They won't be in the wild. And will thus be concluded extinct in the wild which is almost synonymous with an inability of the species to survive the environments we humans have altered in a way that doesn't allow it to exist /adapt quickly enough.
To sell em
Also how the hell is he selling exotic species does America have no laws
Omg I didn't know Jake was featured on this channel! I was actually at this place a few months back and he's super awesome and very helpful and informative! On top of that gave me a great deal for my buddy axel!
Wow awesome video! There are so many different axolotl colors!
Amazing how people caused axolotls to go extinct in the wild but they are thriving in captivity!
Love this new style of content, keep it up :)
They still live in the wild, but only in one place in the entire world. They are decreasing and soon will be extinct in the wild.
i mean here in xochi we used to ate them verry long aggo
@@honeybear8561 Yeah, but that's when they weren't endangered in the wild. But you're right.
its like dogs and cats but its sea creatures
@@drc9477 True
I've always loved these little guys but I live in Florida, too hot in the house for one of these cuties. I know there are chillers and diy ways to maintain them cool but having a bad hurricane one day can lead to both objects being unavailable for days or weeks. I'll leave them to the pros and enjoy from afar 🥰
you have a good heart
@@kevinni9535 For real. I'm in the reptile breeding scene and it's shocking how many people knowingly obtain animals they aren't able to care for.
idk, maybe because i live in north florida, but i have an axolotl lol
I mean... if you're in Florida you should have AC and a backup generator...
Here’s a tip: don’t feed ur axolotl between 1-2 days ( don’t feed ur axolotl everyday), only feed them 4 times in a week ( feed them on mon wed Fri and Sunday- another tip: keep your axolotl happy, don’t give it any fish in its tank,give it great care and give water changes every week. Make sure not to shake them at ALL. If the water is going ruff the axolotl will not like it. Keep the water temp between 15 and 20 - thanks for reading ! 😀 ( these are true tips)
Actally 15-20 is a bit low, but somewhere around the temp to use. DO NOT use water temp less than 15 tho, your axoltol will die.
@@casey_shroomz1235 I think they meant 15-20C
@@piglegs8155 Ik
1:09 the chills it gave me
grrrr i might need to reconsider getting him as a pet though i cant even afford him
2:07 Sadly, Axolotl morphing can be painful and can shorten the life of an Axolotl, it can be due to Crowdedness in water, Bad quality water. But on rare occasions it can just happen randomly, so hopfully its that.
Gratitude is the greatest measure of a person's character. A grateful person is a faithful person, does not abandon you, is always with you. You can always trust her. So I'm grateful for the videos posted with a lot of humility and joy, even if my efforts don't give up believing in the best days will come. 🙏🌷 gratitude for reading my message and watching the videos🌷🙏
I love seeing the axolotls there so cute
Aww that man got millions of positive energy in his room just because of the cute smiles of the axolotols ❤️
There are too many axolotls he cant take care of them all its wrong to touch them with your fingers so many times and why did he bounce the baby in the egg thats just wrong
You can touch the axolotls if your hands are wet
They can still live if bounced
Love this!! I feel bad for that poor little morphed Axolotl but thanks for the vid
Same here, seeing the morphed one broke my heart. I don't see why anyone does that, just get a newt or salamander instead of putting an axie through that. And why would anyone want to get rid of their adorable bushy gills?
@@chaerod It can happen to axolotls randomly since it's caused by a hormonal imbalance. Unfortunately, some animals have imbalances for no particular reason. Luckily, if they are treated right, some morphed axolotls can live long and happy lives. It really depends, though.
@@catpoke9557 That makes sense. I definitely would never intentionally force one to morph, poor babies.
@@chaerod Absolutely never. It's cruel.
@@chaerod think of it as a human born with a disease. Yeah...
sad that they're slowly going extinct in the wild but also happy that axolotl are thriving so much as pets
OMG, they are beautiful.
i think you do the onlyAMAZING AND BEST VIDEOS for diy for axalotles
I absolutely love axolotls! Seeing all of them in this video really warmed up my heart. 💗💗💗
0:45 THEY SPAWN 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂
This guy's ready to raid an Aquatic Monument. I just hope he's got enough Potions of Water Breathing too.
im happy that he does this because axolotls are so cute and i dont want them to go exstinct❤
Watching an axolotl grow is the coolest. Long live Anakin the axolotl!!!
UNO reverse! No, now i love them!
love the part when he put the axolotls together absolutely nothing bad happens when that is done this guy totally isn't in it for the money and he definitely knows what he's doing.
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not-
yes I am
Right "aquarium enthusiast"
The morphed one was also sooooooo nice, I'm sure he gives then the best and most comfortable lives ever
@@dazy03 I'm sure the axolotls have the best possible lives they can in those barren, tiny tubs of water filled with their siblings. :>
Can we see all your pets? I just can’t even imagine where you keep them all! I would love to meet them all
I love that he is helping increase the population of axolotls! Although I wish he put some effort in helping the conservation of wild axolotls as they are criticaly endangered, nonetheless this is very fascinating!
It's really nice to see that Axolotls are thriving in homes :)
his tanks and all the set up’s are beautiful and soo clean, he’s doing amazing work! and his axolotls show that!
Hes contributing to the extinction of an entire species. Hes just doing this for money, he even says so in the video. Dont be like this man
@@phole1100 it’s only going to be extinct in the wild, but the axolotls are thriving by breeders
@@rainee3164 girl are you dumb? Going extinct in the wild is the second worst thing that can happen to a species
@@phole1100 But atleast they thrive in captivity
@@1joe1 That really doesnt help the species survive in the wild, it just makes them more exploitable by people like you
This dude single handidly saving an entire species respect this man
This is cool! I used to have an Axolotl when I was six
I love this! I found them online when I was researching for reputable breeder. I plan on purchasing axolotl one day. I love their clean set up and they are well taken care of. Thanks for sharing!
i heard fantaxies axolotls are good but have you done research if so get the tank and the rest then buy the axolotl😊😊
Becca take a damn seat and listen. These are critically endangered animals that you are trying to buy from "reputable breeders". There is no such thing, these breeders are taking advantage of the species for profit and doing nothing to help them survive in their natural habitat. Why would you want to be a part of that?!
@@phole1100 what the hell are the breeders supposed to do to help them survive in the natural habitat? Fix global warming? Travel down to stop govements and major companies selling off and destroying the land they live in? Are they doing it for money? Yes. Are they also indirectly helping a critically endangered species from going extinct? Yes.
A reputable breeder can indeed exist. While most do it for money some also have morals and they don’t let money cross their morals. While others may just mass breed and not care how any of them survive. It’s like comparing a puppy kennel from a small family breeding a few puppies a year if not less and selling them to someone who borderline industrialized it.
Granted, I don’t trust the guy shown in the video. From what I have seen he also takes part in axolotl splicing where they sever two parts of two axolotls, switch, then fuse them to get split colors. That AND the land axolotl only happens when it has to EVOLVE meaning it has no chance to survive unless it happens… meaning it was probably badly mistreated for weeks before managing to form. It’s so rare because 90%+ of them will die before evolving to that state. (Granted… there is also a beyond abysmal chance it naturally happened without being forced/abused… but considering that he seems to have industrialized it I think he either bought it or created it himself)
@@phole1100i could see how you think but axolotl already breed in tanks can barley be released so yes we should stop destroying land for any animal but if it already adapted to the tank it hard for them to go back to the wild and they would most likely die so i have a solution new breeder should get breeding right and the axolotls from old breeders that take good care and if they cant get them anywhere they should try to find something else to breed from old breeder and if they cant for any animals they should reconsider breeding they should not capture them or destroy their land for them btw they are not endangered in tanks and the breeder should take care of them if they don't they should be with a breeder they know can take care of them if no breeder in the area can take them in maybe the government keeps it and make a plan to try and release it
@@flamer8415 they could get a better job that doesn't include taking living beings captive and torture them as you pointed out?
Love axolotl so much. Would jump at the chance to keep one. But would do my research first of course. May buy a book and see what their care entails
Axolotls are beautiful 😍
I love axolotl’s ❤
De Xochimilco méxico para todo el mundo !!! Axolotl !!
That man is literally saving the species.
Amazing! I love it!
But you’re not supposed to touch them?
For those wondering, axolotls have a delicate slime coating around their skin which can cause infections for them if rubbed off.
You’re also not supposed to remove them from water. Their “bones” are mainly made up of cartilage and have trouble supporting their own weight when not completely submerged.
This isn’t meant to offend btw, more so to help inform those who are unaware :)
his tank must be really clean
this is a thing for almoist all fish too, but if you touch with a wet hand is okay.
yea, you can take them out of water ONLY for water changes
*1:25** Minecraft Has Leucistic Axolotol*
I am very happy someone is helping those Harmless amphibian I respect very much
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH!!! 😍😍😍😘😍
Your my most favorite CZcams ever! Your so kid friendly and so committed and so sweet and so dedicated!!! I love fish, all kinds of them! 😇😋🤔
I would live to do something like this and give my fish the best home hopefully soon in the future, except I need a really nice tank and everything! I hope to be like you in the future!! 💦🐟🐟 You are the best owner!
2:00 I've heard they only morph under very bad conditions. Did he force the Axolotl or used an animal friendly method?
"Surrender axoltol" he didn't do it it was surrendered to him
They can morph for no reason sometimes but it's rare. It does happen though. So it's hard to say.
there's good and bad with this yes they're amazing pet's to keep if you have experience of keeping aquatic animals and know how to keep them healthy and happy but axolotls aren't easy to keep
It’s great to see my brothers are in great condition ❤
if i lived wherever this is i would LOVE to visit this, axolotls are my favortie animal, and im allready a nature enthusiast, too bad im danish and is only APPROACHING my teens.
"But he didn't become the world's largest axolotl supplier over night!"
Jake: "I saw a DIY on youtube"
These comments are sad. So many people do not seem to understand that while, yes this is a business, they are not only not poaching the breeding stock from Mexico they are helping to diversify the gene pool. Yes, it is an exotic animal, but it is ethically done. Look at their setup and breeding tanks. Besides pollution and land contamination in the wild there would be other animals eating most of the young, here more are born per clutch and survive.
Breeders and zoos are keeping species from being wiped out. If that lake in Mexico suffers a plane crash or some other catastrophe, that is it for this species of aquatic salamander. Breeders like this, who have stated they wish to help out the area where axolotls originate, would be KEY to restoring the population. Much like how the Bronx and Toledo zoos helped to bring back an extinct species of frog.
I swear, people see one episode of Tiger King and think every breeder is a bad thing. It is better to buy from a licensed and respectable breeder than poach a wild one.
ugh ikr people need to do some research
:O wow axolotls are so amazing!
I love my 3 axolotls very much and I have learned a lot more about then now
Glad to know someones making sure they won't go extinct wether it's on purpose or not
I hope those Axolotls find good and loving homes. I hear they're endangered in the wild, and that makes me sad. Maybe one day, we can reintroduce them from captive bred stock into the wild.
they can't be. they are only native to two lakes in mexico, both of which have been destroyed.
Oohhhh they are so cute 😊
Axolotls are cute and adorable
Axolotls are becoming endangered in the wild, so it's good to see there's such a large captive population
Capitive populations aren't the same exactly when they crossed them genetically with Tiger Salamanders and introduced Jellyfish dna into them (some lineages of Axies have that). So they are practically a subspecies or different species entirely now.
0:53 Please reconnect your controller
I've always wanted one of these guys
Best of luck to him✌🏽
When you only start breeding animals to get rich, but not because you actually like the animals.
Axolotl 😊 SO cool
That’s so sweet 🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬
i have seen these in my local pet shop sooo many times and find them sooo cute but its hard to get live worms year round in my country :(
you dont need live worms to keep axolotl. You can feed them bits of frozen freshwater fish and shrimps from the supermarket after you defrosted them. Also red and black mosquito larvae from the pet store, freshwater snails and also there are some good axolotl pelets out there. Just make sure you can keep your tank cool enought. They enjoy water between around 18c celsius. And they like hard water.
Raise them for feeding yourself then. Like buy when available, set up a tank for worms, feed food scraps, and mist the dirt often. They should be fine with that but always consider doing more research to find out exactly how to do so. Also raising axie food animals is a way to always have food supply and probably saves on money in the long run.
I found one of these in the Trinity River in Northern California the first time I ate mushrooms. I was horrified. And amazed. And not sure if what I picked up was real or not. I vividly remember how strong it felt. Like the whole thing was a muscle.
those weren't axolotls, axolotls live in caves in the gulf of Mexico. They may have been young salamanders that still had gills but very unlikely that they were axolotls
@@ethanvanderjagt5892 that's what I was thinking but I grew up on the river and am fairly familiar with what we have in our water. I know I was on one but I remember the dark blue/ purple color, size and bristly gills distinctly. Was thinking maybe a breeder that was set loose? Makes no sense for a wild one to be so far from home. Thing was huge, foot long maybe and as big around as a red bull can.
Definitely a Salamander. Those dudes can vary insanely in color and are very muscular little amphibians.
i would have thought you found a siren salamander if it weren't for the north california part
well that was just awesome
Wow my fave pet a axolotl I love them they are cute soft and there thing on there head are soft I would love to have my own😊🎉❤❤❤ and I love your vids for helping and telling people that you love them so much❤❤
I would have loved to know the parameters of the water and how he raise them
This man is single-mindedly and single-handedly keeping this species from going extinct 😩
No.
@@mid5503 No? Yes axolotls are endangered and with him he is keeping them from going extinct
@@mid5503 what the hell (?)
Helping? Sure. Single handedly? No.
Ooooooooooooooh !!!! Is tooooo cute!!!!!!
Awesome 💕 I want a pink one!
Damn still didn't get the blue axolotl huh?
he is literally saving axolotls from extinction
I’ve been in that very building, adopting my own new family member!
Amazing creature 😍
The reason behind the axlotl growing lungs was because it reached full maturity which is uncommon in the species. Most never get to this point because of their aquatic lifestyle in the wild. Reaching full maturity also means they lose their regenerative abilities, which they only retain as long as they have gills and sadly this particular axlotl will eventually die of old age.
no.
That's not how axolotls work
@@flamepelt3092 shut the hell up, and go do some research before you say "thats not how they work".
interesting how he keeps baby axolotls crammed together even though tend to be cannibalistic toward eachother until they reach a certain size..im pretty sure this is due to them having horrible eyesight hence the "only-eating live" thing (i could be wrong & misremembering though).. and did they forget to mention the trend of people using iodine to morph axolotls out of their juvenile stage ( which is "their stage" their entire life, they dont morph into salamanders) and how cruel it is to try and morph your axolotl ? this dude probably did just..stumble upon an axolotl that morphed without iodine but . still. lol. ---and about the endangerment of their species, isnt this mostly due to industrializing their habitats and now only like 1 natural habitat of theirs remains? im pretty sure its not because of people breeding axolotls entirely? im not sure but ! this video rubs me the wrong way :D
It feels that way to me too. It honestly feels like this guy saw axolotls as a means to another cruel fish industry. Selling "rare" axolotls is disgusting, as it's greedy people trying to create artificial value, and thus profit. Also, "breeds" supports inbreeding and presents them as more of a "investment" rather than a living companion. These people do this, all the while being praised for "saving" the species!
@@georgesoural235 right!!! I wonder the genetic complications that will start showing up due to these practices with axolotls (if theres not any reported already?)..
Lots of people keep baby axolotls in the same tank because they are so small. If you have one tank for every axolotl, that would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars- This guy clearly knows what he’s doing. Sure, some things can be added- but you can’t expect him to put every baby axolotl in their own tank. Axolotls have hundreds of eggs at once, so tanks, filters, hides, etc would cost much more.
well i don’t think he should be putting one alone in a tank but i think there’s simply just too many in one tank together 😐 honestly this dude probably makes a fuck ton of money given the setups and amount he breeds .. i mean axolotls r an easy to care for breed they’re not a saltwater fish or some shit im sure there could be a better way to do it ? maybe just seeing the behind the scenes of their breeding makes me feel weird idk
i mean their enclosures r def better than plenty of household pets i’ve seen so i guess it’s not terrible >_> the process of breeding go in such large quantities is just so sus to me it feels like an inbreeding hotel 😐 also isn’t it possible to keep baby axolotls in little tubs (with lids ) until they reach an appropriate size for a tank? i’ve seen people keep tadpoles in tubs >_>
so cool! I want to have a axolotls!
they sure look cute
This is wonderful, I heard axolotl are endangered species. I hope there will be trillions of them in the future.
The thing is that they are endangered because their habitat is disappearing, so even if they thrive in captivity they cannot go back to the wild.
2:02 yes, some axolotls indeed undergo metamorphosis. It is rare, but it does happen. This one is fully morphed too. Remember axolotls are mole salamanders.
I remember watching the video he referenced by the "King of DIY" when it came out..
That's pretty cool he was inspired enough from that discus video to become the largest supplier of axolotls in the world.
That's another thing I noticed is that his operation looks very inexpensive compared to aquatics breeders that have huge rows of ponds or many rows of large heated aquariums.
❤ love to this guy!
I bred 3 non albino goldens this past breeding season from one pair which is pretty rare here in NZ and also a couple of mosaic

"What are they doing on this spoon"

Aren't these generally hard to keep because they require super specific water conditions?
Yes, they need it for a longtime life span. They have very sensitive skin. But in the wild the can live in any water as long as not polluted.
