DantezGirl Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 hi when axies are resting there gills go lighter when they are active say feeding they get brighter due to all the oxygen join caudata.org its the best site for axolotls in the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookieskennels Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 i have just been told that there may not be enuft oxygen in the water, i have a water pump but have been told that the axys like still water, what to do the gills have been pale for a few days now.

DantezGirl Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 yip if it is possible to turn the flow down or redirect it at the glass is a popular option so im told they do like calm water i have mine setup so the water is dead calm and have 2 airstones to airrate the water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 i use 1 airstone or a sponge filter to create a soft flow in the tank all young reared with airstone, not too turbulent though and water changes too high a flow from a powered filter can damage the gills a little IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
