Axolotls - Aquarium Advice

benharrison1uk · 11-03-2005, 02:38 PM

I was in a pet shop today buying new plants for my aquarium, and i noticed these creatures called axolotls. They look really cool but I haven't brought any yet because I don't know what they eat, and i was wondering if they'd be ok with my fish. So if any of you could enlighten me I'd be most grateful

Cool looking Mexican salamander. Here's a link.

Oh yes, they are cool. Will they be ok with my fish though? I have 2 goldfish, a comet, a shebunkin, 2 bronze catfish and a hillstream loach

Not advised to mix these with any fish Ben. Their exposed gills are tempting tidbits to even guppies.
