What fish can i put with axolotls?

Featured Replies

Not really unless you want to feed them to the axolotl. Goldfish chew on their filaments which isn't a very nice experience for the axolotl I imagine :-? You could try a borneo sucker, I don't think it would hurt the axolotl but theres a chance it might be eaten?

I had two axyies and gave them feeder fish that they weren't interested in and ended up with two fish living quite happly with them( not sure on the fish ...) :D

Best of luck :)

you could try mountain minnows, ive got them happily breeding in with a young axie but im sure if the axie gt hungry hed get the odd 1 but thats the good thing about them breeding!

keep the axie's well fed and plenty of plants for the fish and dont get upset if the fish disapear :lol:

A few years ago my daughters class (primary) had a pet axolotyl. Each week a child was on feeding it. Their job was to go to the pet shop and buy two small fish to feed to it!

Here are the best three words of advice regarding other tank inmates: Just say no.

Why? Well, let us suppose we would like to keep something with our axolotls, for instance, a fish, or another salamander or newt. The fish will invariably attempt to nibble on an axolotl's gills. After all, they're so attractive and feathery! The salamander or newt may try the same trick, particularly at feeding time. Let us suppose that our axolotl is bigger than the fish or salamander. It's quite likely we'll end up with one well fed axolotl! There is a simple rule that axolotls follow: if it moves and it's smaller than our axolotl, it'll end up in our axolotl's stomach. So, follow my three words of advice: Just say no!

The above link is really good for information on Axolotls. I once had a comet in with my axolotl and after one night it had chewed the axolotls filaments to a stub. IMO if you care about the axolotl (or the fish depending on its size) I would resist the temptation to add fish to their tank. In saying that though I did have borneo suckers in my axolotls tank for a while and they seemed to live together peacefully.
