Extra Information

• The Axolotl (or "Walking Fish") are very popular pets for an unheated aquarium or large bowl. 
• They mainly feed by smell as they have poorly developed eyesight, earthworms being one of their favourite foods. 
• If kept with fish, ensure the fish do not bite the axolotl's gills, and alternately, not be small enough for the axolotl to eat them. 
• The Axolotl is a neotenic amphibian: unlike related species they do not metamorphose into a salamander, instead remaining/breeding in the "juvenile" stage. 
• They can grow to about 20-25cm and are also able to regenerate damaged limbs and gills.
