About the Book

Amphibians like a baby axolotl are a neat way to keep something other than fish in an aquarium.
They eat less often, are less active, and require less maintenance.
Axolotls are also quite long lived and one of the stranger looking pets in the hobby.

So how to take care of an axolotl? We'll be discussing this topic in great detail in this detailed axolotl care guide.

What is a Baby Axolotl?
The axolotl is one of the most unusual amphibians in the world and an interesting pet. They are related to the Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum), which lives in most of North America.
What makes the axolotl unique is that it is stuck in its larval stage. A young Tiger Salamander looks very similar to an adult axolotl. But when grown up they lose their gills and live on land.
Axolotls are known as neotenic salamanders. Neoteny is a trait where an animal never fully loses its juvenile characteristics. By holding onto their gills and remaining in the water an axolotl is really just an adult stuck in the larval stage.

In a very real sense all axolotls are baby axolotls. The adults will reproduce and have babies but never grow up and move onto land.
The name "axolotl" is a Nahuatl (Aztec) word, pointing to its importance to for the indigenous inhabitants of Mexico City. Adult axolotls were sold as food for centuries in the area.
As Mexico City grew over the years the lakes it was built over (Lake Xochimilco, in particular) have shrunk. The wild axolotl is now critically endangered in the wild. Introduced fish like tilapia eat axolotl babies and eggs. And the lake's water parameters are threatened by pollution from the city.
Still, the species itself is not going to go extinct. Adult axolotls breed fast so there are thousands in captivity now. Axolotl life expectancy is also very long; 20 years is not unheard of for a healthy adult.
Adult axolotls are pretty large so most aquarists start out with a baby axolotl. With their beady eyes and fluffy gills a newly hatched axolotls is hard not to adore. But how easy are they to care for?
