suphew Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Bit of a noob question from me, my niece has recently gotten a couple of gold Axolotl's. One of them has a very much larger stomach, my sister has seen them with gravel in their mouths so I assume it has been eating it. Is there anything I can or need to do? Will they just poop it out?

livingart Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 hopefully they are small enough to pass through the system i don't use gravel with my axies for just this reason they are just grab a mouthful feeders and don't really care what is going down good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 apparently sand isnt a good idea either as they tend to slide around on it and freak out i used to use round peebles from the warehouse easy to syphon around and way too big to eat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 It's just old "fruit salad mix" gravel I had laying round. 3-4mm I guess just about he perfect size to go in and not come out. I might suggest to my neice that some cool coloured stones from the warehouse would be a better idea. Also she has some WCMM's in another tank that I gave her a couple of years ago, I'm assuming they would become Axolotl tucker if she added them in?

livingart Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 the fruit salad should pass through with a bit of luck had them on that and bigger before moving to BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
