Me, with no intention of getting an axolotl: *watches intently to gain more care information*
Pfffftt
Same... but now I kinda want one LOL but I have no space for anymore tanks
😂
my dude, you sound so educated on the topic of axolotls. i've had mine for about 2 years now, yet i've learned some new, interesting things from your video. truly appreciate this fascinating & informative content!
Ok this is my third comment already- but I just wanna give this tip. I live in a very hot place in Arizona, so using a fan doesn’t work all the time. One thing that drops the temperature more is insulation foil on the sides of the tank! It just looks like a mirror on the inside too when it’s filled with water. It’s a very useful tip if you need just a couple less degrees.
This was beautifully done Jeremy! 👏🏼

I HAVE ONLY JUST STARTED WATCHING THE VIDEO AND I AM EXCITED
Great video. Been a aquatic hobbyist for my entire life and even worked at an aquarium pet store for years and this is still a great guide for many to see. Please give us some more follow up care guides or even anything else you can think of with Axolotls. with 242k growing views you are top notch my friend. Keep it up
Was given an ice pack with my baby and was able to acclimate him quite quickly. So far so good. I have the “ hundreds of dollars” route. He is still getting used to the 55 gallon but seems to be exploring and coming to the glass when I walk in my office. We named him Horacio and your video was integral to get the set up I have for my little baby.
did you know, I'm Indonesian and I don't speak English very well but I really enjoy and really understand the explanation in this video
It took longer than I intended for me to watch this all the way through, but holy cow this is super comprehensive! Well done Jeremy and welcome back!
I learnt a lot from this video! It taught me things that I didn't know as well as going over things I already knew, as someone who was surprised with a pair of axolotls recently I definitely needed the crash course/refresher. One of the most helpful things in this video was the section on substrate, using appropriate, stone tiles to avoid sand or gravel was genius and something I would never have considered but will absolutely be what I use in my tank. Thanks so much for all the effort you've put into this video, it's an incredible resource and one I'm sure I'll come back to as my axolotl journey continues haha.
Finally a good video that covers everything about this animal. Thanks a lot.
This video is amazing! If any of my friends wanna get into axolotl’s as well I just show them this video! By far one of the best guides out there!
What a comeback video! This was so well put together. Can't wait to see more of your new content. 💖
Huge thanks to my friends Anna Louise (itsannalouise), Jess Anderson (stressinabox), and Matt Thibodeau for sending me footage of their axolotls to use in this video. Without them, this video would have just been my two axolotls for an hour and 17 minutes.
What frozen foods would you recommend for juveniles/adults? Frozen Hikari shrimp? Or a worm besides blood worms?
Yeah I recognized the pics from their tiktoks :p
And also super interesting thx
@@kbram6099 Baby axolotls need live food
Where the best place to get the Axolotls?
I noticed the gerudo valley tune for the temperate, this guy is the real deal. Can’t believe how well this is done since almost know one seen this. I’m gonna get some of these guys next week now
Appreciate the compliment! And if you like that Gerudo theme remix you should check out the artist who made it! SkullKidNico here on CZcams! They did several other lofi Zelda remixes!
😊
Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to make this!
Thank you so much for putting this together! This was extremely informative, and very enjoyable to watch

You’re doing great research! some axolotls are amazing and they were cute, it’s really good experience. this video is very helpful. Good job Jeremy! ❤️
Perfect guide I keep watching this over an over again just because how cool this tadpole is
I'm super proud of this video bro... it was hella professional well worth the wait🙏🏽💪🏽
This video was much appreciated! Great job!
This is the most comprehensive videos I've watched on Axolotls and their care. Thanks you. This helps so much.
Also thank you. This is by far the best most thorough video I've come across
This is such an amazing, well put together video and I've learned a lot. Thank you for breaking things down!!
This helped so much! Thank you for putting in so much of your time ❤️❤️
With a 1.25× playback speed, this is the best axolotl care guide video ever!😀
Welcome backkkk welcome backkkk! Amazing job and amazing quality !!!!!!! Like hello National geographic
Thank you, THANK YOU for your time and info!
Ive been watching many videos and none is as thorough as yours.
Wish me luck!
Perfect video! I'm saving the link to post on all the axolotl groups.
Great job
thank you, I'm getting an axolotl so this was very informitive!
Fantastic video. You nailed it all in this video! Thank you for sharing 🙏
Very very strong resource here. Congratulations. Well made.
Thank you very much for sharing. This is the best guide I've seen so far. Help me a lot.
Thank you so much! This was very informative as I'm planning on getting an axolotl for my 15th birthday. I've been taking notes and gathering as much information as I can. This video helps so much. Thank you for putting time into this.
When the behavior started I was waiting for the beat to drop😂
Thank you so much! We are just starting our journey and this has been extremely educational.
I have no intention of getting an axolotl anytime soon, but I wanted to watch as I love them and am keen to learn more. I am so impressed by how informative and well made this video is! Such an incredible resource.
Thank you so much for making this video, it helped me a lot. There was a lot of things I didn't know I needed to do before adopting my Axolotl, such as the cycling and what not, because not a lot of people work with these animals professionally. Thank you so much for your help♡
Loved the video! I’ve had my axolotl for about 6 months now but I love your videos so I watched it anyways. 😊 very good info !!
This video is epic. Thanks for the completeness of this video. It was a great lesson in Axolotls 😍
Hey you dropped this🤲👑
This is def the most comprehensive info and care guide I’ve ever seen! Thank you!!!
That was my goal. Thank you
I am preparing to get my first lotl... this has been EXTREMELY helpful, thank you!!!
This was SO helpful, thank you!!
Love this video! The best information ever!
You are a blessing!!! Getting ready for our 2 next month. I was so overwhelmed!
I’m glad you found this helpful!
The ominous music at the start of the "Water chemistry" chapter is gold.
Doing this for my daughter and I'm just realizing that I can't just "go get" an axolotl because of the chemistry/microbiome stuff and feeling overwhelmed. Thank you for this video!
Fantastic, well paced and full of need to know information delivered in a passionate but professional manner. If only more people took the time and diagence to produce these kind of videos for people thinking about buying specialist pets.
thankyou
This is an amazing care video. I’m saving this video to show anyone interested in getting an axolotl.
Top notch 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Just want to say, you have done an amazing Job on educating people in pet health and welfare. Information is very well explained and the video is also easy to navigate. Well done, you should be proud of yourself :)
Thank you for the great video. Really nice teacher ☺️
This was a great video! I’ve wanted an Axolotl for about 10 years but was no where near ready when I was 13 lol! Roll on 2022
Tysm I think my axolotl is so happy!!!!!
Very good video, thanks!
They are adorable
Amazing video
good stuff, thank you
thank you bro,this video make me sure to pet axolotls safety.
Thank you so much!
Ah! This is one of the most helpful things I’ve seen yet! Got my tank recently, and throughout this video I’ve been taking notes on what I can do affordably, and making a list of products I may need. This video is a lifesaver!
ive never owned an aquarium before and my brother and his gf just ended up with a bunch of axolotl eggs so this is incredibly helpful. all the chemistry and water specifications were stressing me out and i didn't know how to begin learning about it and this video is really helping me understand the work that goes into keeping a stable aquarium, so thanks!!!
Go crazy
you would think after 6 years I'd be more than just his gf
@@hollowearthfujoshi who do you think you are
@@photogenichunt4254 I think I'm your "gf" and I think this is your little sister's comment

Fantastic informative video thank you ! i have 2 axolotls with 2 similar sized plecos and they get along great , very entertaining when it comes to shared feeding , the smaller pleco slaps the axolotl in the kisser with his tail fin till axy swims away , all 4 are are well fed and healthy :)
I love them,they are so cute.💟💖💙omg soo adorable.
Thank you
I always wanted to get a axolotl so I'm watching a LOT of care vids
meu deus eu precisava muito desse video, tirou todas as minhas duvidas e inseguranças que eu tinha pra criar um axolotl, vlw
Best video
In case anyone is wondering, as of August 1 2021 axolotls are now legal to own in Virginia, no permit required
Awesome video and so helpful! Although i do wish u would show how to do a water change. Maybe for the 2022 edition :)
Just got one and loving my boy wooper
This has been very helpful I have an axolotl on the way tomorrow he or she will be going into my old fish tank it's a 200L, I can't wait
Ofc the topic im looking for is next to last lol but ofc i watched the whole video
Great Movie😀😀😀 I need more info for my two
Great I really need to breed mine
Thank you! I really want an axolotl and have been researching them so I can know how to properly care for them and so I can make a power point and convince my mom (my dad has pretty much said yes)
That was a brilliant video. Although you were talking about the substrates. What sand did you recommend as that was said to fast for me to catch it.
Hey Jeremy great video please be careful with the pebble stones in the first tank - as I have seen a wide mouth lotl fit that size stone in the mouth and swallow - needing surgery (expensive). I think that your video is great and very informative thankyou

i love these little homies.
Im planning to get one, but not any time soon. My grandmas house is on well water and thats the water i plan to use. Just keep a couple of 5 gallon bottles ready to use for water changes. I was going to get a tank cooler cuz i live in a very hot location. Not super hot but it can reach 100 F. here. Its a dry heat though so evaporative cooling is an option for backup. As for ph i be getting a test kit. The well water itself is really hard but ill get a hardness kit just to keep an eye on it
Excellent video! Sadly I live in Maine which has *the strictest and most ridiculous* pet laws in the country so unless I move back to my home state, I can't own a little cutie axi.
I have been looking on your channel and I am still confused and wondering on how to do water changes for your axolotl. I remember you saying you need to do water change one every week or two. I was wondering how you do your water change. I like your videos and I rather take your advice than anyone else on CZcams. So can you do a video of water changing. Thank youuuuuu! Love your videos!
Hello! Wonderful video thats helped me learn a lot even after days of nonstop research. Question if you'd be available to answer.
We have an Axolotl coming with a tank already from a previous owner. For transport we were thinking of having the little guy separate but keeping the tank with the ater already in it still. Then letting it adjust to temperature properly with the Axolotl inside the transport carrier. Afterwards open the carrier when they've aclmimated both the tank & them (should be about 30 min like you mentioned) would this work? Should we drain the tank and then fill up?
*settles into bed with food to watch even though I don't really need one*
Great video, what's the song at 53:37?
Thank you, that song is "The Listening" by my friend @Jellyduck100 - here's a link: czcams.com/video/i4-Qd81rLts/video.html
I just got 3!
Thanks my Axolotl love to play shadow likes to play
I have 2
Axolotls are now legal in Virginia!! As of August 2021!
Woohoo!
I currently only have a regular 20 gallon tank, which is all I have room for, but in turn for that I’m trying to spoil my axolotl with as many goods as possible, and as much attention as I can provide. I feel guilty with not waiting for a year or two until I move to have more room for a bigger tank, but I really wanted to start my cycle early. The good news is that she’s doing great!
Axolotls live for 10-15 years. It’s likely you’ll upgrade their enclosure later anyway. I kept mine in a 20 gallon long for a couple years before upgrading to the 60.
Love your videos! So much information. I’m getting ready to get a baby Axolotl, is it okay to put sand on the bottom of the tank? Or could I leave it bare bottom? As it seems cleaning would be easier without sand. I will do whatever is best. Just wondering, as I’ve seen in some info that sand isn’t good for juvenile Axolotls. Thank you! As I watched more, you answered my question. Thank you again!
