Recommended Aquarium Size: Juvenile axolotls can be started out in an aquarium as small as 10 gallons, but they should be bumped up to at least a 20 gallon as they age. We do not recommend more than two axolotls per 20 gallon. Three to four can be kept in an aquarium of 40 gallons or larger. That being said, they do not require being kept in groups and do just fine alone. If gravel is utilized, it should be too large to swallow. Sand makes a better substrate and is generally easier to clean, but bare bottom is acceptable as well. Caves or hides will help make your axolotl feel secure. Make sure to provide adequate, gentle filtration

Temperature: Axolotls require cool temperatures to thrive. 60-70 degrees fahrenheit is ideal. You want to try and keep water temperatures around 70 or lower - higher temps can become lethal. Chillers can be used to achieve this or keeping axolotls in a cool part of the house year round.

pH/Hardness: Axolotls are not super fussy about their pH and can thrive anywhere from 6.5-8.0. However, keeping it in the 7.0-8.0 range is considered ideal. Moderate general hardness is appreciated.

Size: At the time of sale, captive bred red axolotls from Josh’s Frogs will measure about 3-4.5" long and be about 4 months old. They can be fairly quick growers, with adults reaching up to about 14" in a couple years. The cooler they are kept, the slower axolotls will grow.

Age: Axolotls have an average captive lifespan of about 10-15 years with proper care. Axolotls sold by Josh's Frogs are about 4 months old.

Please note it is illegal for us to ship Axolotls into California, Maine, and New Jersey. Orders placed for axolotls from these states will be cancelled and refunded.
