L'axolotls comme ses congénères aquatiques attrape des maladies, infections ou peut etre blessé, le soigner oui, mais comment? SEVERE BACTERIAL INFECTION Share Maintaining the axolotl is not always easy. He can catch a lot of diseases from fish but cannot be cured like them. Here the symptoms could be those of the bacteria Flavobacterium). This very rapidly advanced infection was treated by the veterinary clinic of Eure et Loire as follows: The recommended treatment is an oxytetracycline antibiotic of 3 to 4 grams per 100 liters of water. It is necessary to completely treat the tank, and this during 3 days, then to carry out a water change of 50% on the 4th day. And watch the rise in nitrites because the antibiotic destroys all bacteria, both bad and good. (Possibly operate a carbon filtration for 4 days then remove it and reseed with bacteria (Biockik brand Oase, or even Bactozym only). A treatment with flagyl was then recommended by the veterinarian in case. According to him, Dolthene can be used. involved or the incorporation of new plants). I thank Flazzy Boyet for sharing his photos and the care of his veterinarian who saved his loulou and certainly others thanks to this sharing.

L'axolotl comme ses congénères aquatiques attrape des maladies, infections ou peut être blessé, le soigner oui, mais comment? BACTERIA, COCCIDS Share The Alliance Veterinary Clinic in Bordeaux looked into the case of Emilie PSD's axolotl, This one was losing weight visibly, regurgitating all food, including beef heart supposed to be much more palatable. His stools were whitish. His skin was peeling (he was losing his mucus). So suspicion of internal interference. Here is the report from the vet who looked after Shadow: Thick mucus Translucent stool Third day of treatment, to follow ... Continued ... second visit ... The flagyl treatment was stopped on 1/6/19 and the antibiotic as well as the anti-emetic the 9/01/19 Importantly, it turns out that the scaling did not come from Shadow's skin but from his irritated intestines.

L'axolotls comme ses congénères aquatiques attrape des maladies, infections ou peut etre blessé, le soigner oui, mais comment? Vitamins Share Axolotls weakened by disease, difficult laying, anemic because their water was too soft may need a sudden intake of vitamins and calcium Calcivet meets these needs it is ordered / bought from the veterinarian see on the internet (around € 8.75), it also contains magnesium. You can give it to your loulou, via a syringe (without a needle of course) orally at a rate of 0.2 ml per day over 4 to 5 days. Here is one of the sites where you can find it for example https://www.loisillon.fr/soins/soins-naturels/calcivet-100-ml.html In addition to this, you will need to know more about it.

Axolotl anémié, anorexique Lors de sauvetages, ou après une maladie, un parasitage, votre axolotl peut se retrouver extremement maigre et continuer malgré tout à ne pas s'alimenter. Que faire ? Plusieurs choses sont à mettre en oeuvre : lui donner du coeur de boeuf, celui-ci etant extrement proteiné peut lui redonner l'appetit et un coup de pouce ; une autre astuce existe partagée par une membre. Ce traitement a été préscrit sur deux semaines par un vétérinaire spécialisé NAC et soignant les axolotls. Voici le produit en question Hill's prescription Diet a/d Restorative Care pour chien et chat Il a été prescrit à raison de deux fois par jour en grosse seringue et 5ml à chaque prise. Il s'agit de "gaver" l'animal, le terme peut sembler violent mais il en va de la vie de l'axolotl. Cette pâtée contient effectivement - de 10% d'iode ce qui m'avait au départ interpellé, j'ai donc demandé l'avis d'autres vétérinaires, dont celui auquel je me réfère tout le temps. Il m' a confirmé que sur une si courte période en aussi petites quantités cela n'avait absolument aucun impact sur l'axolotl ! (La seringue utilisée est de la taille des seringues pour injection d'insuline. Merci à Lil'y Dewey et son vétérinaire MODE FANTÔME Ce phénomène est observable chez les axolotls de couleur clair. Quand il s'agit d'un état passager (une journée ou quelques heures) l'explication est simple : une chute de température peut le plonger en léthargie, il est donc au repos complet et le sang n'afflue plus aussi rapidement dans ses branchies. Etant moins irriguées elles paraissent quasiment blanches. Souvent le corps parcouru lui aussi de capillaires subit la même perte de couleur, certains cas sont spectaculaires et inquiètent à tort les personnes. En revanche la où il faut surveiller c'est dans le cas où ou cet "état" dure plus longtemps qu'une journée. Pourquoi ? Il peut s'agir dans ce cas d'une anémie ou décalcification. La chose est donc à ne pas prendre à la légère, il faut si possible consulter un vétérinaire qui peut prescrire du Calcivet ou des injections de calcium. Vérifiez vos paramètres quoi qu'il en soit, car un Gh (la dureté de l'eau) bas amènera déjà une réponse au problème (décalcification). L'axolotl ayant besoin d'une eau dure et de calcium afin de stimuler sont système digestif, sachez que tout est lié, une baisse d’appétit peut être observée. Vous pouvez également supplémenter temporairement votre axolotl au cœur de bœuf (cru) afin de l'aider à retrouver des force, si cela ne suffit pas et que le GH et le Ph sont aux valeurs idéales. Le vétérinaire est indispensable mais ne faites pas durer cet état trop longtemps. J'ai vu également un axolotl passer à cet état sitôt mis en "tupp" bac de quarantaine et retrouver ses couleurs si remis en aquarium, cela implique donc qu'il s'agit également d'un état de stress important.

Tout d'abord l'on considère qu'un individu ne devrait être vendu qu'à partir de ses10 cm, avant les risques de mortalité sont encore importants couleurs COLORS & PRICES Slideshow at the bottom of the page For colors see also article "Genetics" Depending on the colors, the size of the axolotl and its age, different prices are possible in sales between individuals, here is a brief summary, of course everyone is free to refer to it or not. First of all it is considered that an individual should be sold only from its 10 cm, before the risks of mortality are still important and the feeding stage must include an axolotl eating bloodworms and pellets or only pellets, (for greater ease of feeding and therefore success for the purchaser). Albino axolotl (white coat, red eyes, of course includes gold), leucistic axolotl (white coat and black eyes), wild axolotl (golden circle in the eye and spotted coat, colors may vary): € 1 per cm or a 10 cm axolotl will be sold for € 10. Why? Because these colors are the most common Melanic axolotl (black, gray, white dress but black and full eye without golden or glowing circle): 2 € per cm or 20 € for an individual of 10 cm. Axolotl copper (spotted with brown, beige, with absence of black pigments) € 2.50 per cm which gives us € 25 for an individual of 10 cm. Melanic cooper axolotl (light to dark brown coat, slightly spotted or not) and axanthic axolotl, 2.5 to 3 € per cm or 25 to 30 € for an individual of 10 cm. If it is an urgent adoption, do not be too "greedy", give your axolotl at a low price or even give it away, it is the least of things so that this little loulou quickly finds a welcoming home, and above all, find out about its future habitat and the knowledge of the purchaser. If necessary, explain to him the complete and detailed maintenance, the axolotl living many years be responsible! For the buyer: a thin axolotl, or with ugly stunted or atrophied gills is a sign that should alert you! Also watch her toes as they melt away as the back veil indicates potential infection. Always observe a period of quarantine which will give you time to observe your loulou's skin and its appearance. And finally check his stool to be sure that there are no parasites present.

L'axolotls comme ses congénères aquatiques attrape des maladies, infections ou peut etre blessé, le soigner oui, mais comment? INJURIES, WOUNDS Share In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. Axolotls are easily injured, this can be caused by a decoration that is too sharp or one of its congeners! And yes they are raw, and being a little short-sighted, sometimes bite by mistake. Here is the procedure to follow in the event of an injury: First, it will be necessary to determine the severity of the injury in order to decide whether or not to put the axolotl in the infirmary tank. It is not always necessary to put your axolotl in a bin, this generates significant stress and can worsen a situation.If the wound bleeds little or not, it is small, there is no need to isolate it, but watch that none mycosis does not settle there. Regeneration will do the job. In nature we don't run after him with methylene blue . If you could not make a solution dip the tip of a knife in water then in the powder this will make a dose for the treatment of a wound (the water must be light blue) if it is for a anti-stress use use the tip of a toothpick. If possible, leave him quiet in his aquarium by turning off the light, it will relax him. On the other hand, if the wound seems deeper, conducive to infection, the axolotl should be isolated in a plastic tub with fresh water (which should be changed every day). If the wound becomes infected, it will be necessary to use methylene blue (see the Methylene blue sheet below). You should also know that a lower temperature will allow the injury to heal more quickly. Duration of treatment 3 to 4 days. QUANTITY : It is important not to abuse this product. Even in small quantities, it works. It is recommended, for a 1% solution, to add 1 drop per 1 liter. For a 5% solution, 2 drops per 10 liters. If the product is not in the form of a dropper, it is possible to use a syringe without a needle. One drop represents approximately 0.050 ml. The instructions for making your own solution as well as the dosages are detailed in the document at the bottom of the page. Important point: we use methylene blue only in the case of nitrite poisoning or a serious injury, a small injury does not require soaking the loulou in this drug which is not harmless. So please don't overdo it. You can also dab the wound with betadine or mercurochrome and then put your axolotl back in the water, this can also prevent it from getting yeast infections. Cat scratch injuries occur frequently, unfortunately, either because the person did not think about protecting the aquarium, or because he had to temporarily put his axolotl (s) in a tank; or even because his cats have always "been adorable and never in the past hurt axolotls or were even interested in them ... In short, all of these reasons are bad! We always protect from predators! Even if it is only for play and out of curiosity, cats can inflict very severe injuries on axolotls. You can already see the damage on human skin, then on the tender skin of amphibians, the cataclysm! The accident took place: In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. A veterinarian must intervene within a maximum of 2 to 3 hours, because the cat's hollow claws carry bacteria, so even a properly operated and sutured animal will not be guaranteed to survive and may succumb in the hours to come. an infection. Don't try anything yourself! It seems crazy to say it but some people would be inclined to sew the animal themselves! You are not a veterinarian and cannot claim to be a professional! We need a sterile space, sharp equipment, knowledge of sedation before offering a stable anesthesia to the amphibian. You have a list of veterinarians here , at worst yours can be assisted or advised by one of these specialists. You should prefer a quick euthanasia with cloves rather than let your loulou suffer if you cannot have him treated very quickly by a veterinarian, even if like most amphibians he cannot express his suffering and continues to swim, do not imagine not that this one is not existing! His nervous system is highly developed, the eventration is extremely painful or even unbearable. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. Here is an axolotl adopted by Sigrid Isloor, it has a double dough, certainly due to poor regrowth. This also causes her a paralysis on the right side so she must do stimulation exercises with a glove, following the recommendations of the veterinarian. Twopatte Manon's axolotl presents wounds as well as a damaged cesspool, as if burnt. During the first consultation, the veterinarian, Dr Latre-Grüss Aurélie from the Vet Auvergne clinic noted the lesions and took a sample to send it to a laboratory also specialized in axolotls. She was not 100% sure to save him because he was well attacked, according to the results of the analysis and the antibiogram she gave the treatment. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. Salt baths every other day and injection of antibiotics every day in the front forelegs, at the level of the biceps, one day one leg and the other day the other in order not to traumatize the flesh of the loulou. No sting in the lower limbs because this would cause disturbances and lesions of the nervous and internal system as specified by the veterinarian. Cream for skin wounds Syringe for feeding "force-feeding" since this axolotl was no longer eating at all. So either by crushing pellets and making a slightly liquid mixture to make him ingest.

Il est possible également que vous n'ayez pas protégé son bac infirmerie... quoi qu'il en soit il faut agir rapidement en le remettant dans un bac (avec une eau reposée ou de l'eau de son aquarium si il est rôdé et ne présente aucun souci), avec du bleu de méthylène ou argent colloïdal . L'axolotl peut être resté suffisamment longtemps hors de l'eau pour présenter des brûlures qui vont apparaître au fil des heures (d'où l'importance du bleu de méthylène, voire Témérol car sa peau séchée aura été perméable aux bactéries diverses. Avec de la chance votre axolotl sera sauvé, mais hélas il faut envisager que des lésions internes soient présentes. Dans ce cas, il décédera d'une hémorragie dans les 72 heures environ... Le voile bactérien est la protection de votre axolotl, il est plus épais chez certains individus mais ne faites pas de bains de sel pour le rendre moins épais, non seulement vous stimulerez sa production, mais de plus vous causez des "trous" dans la barrière protectrice de l'axolotl, le rendant vulnérable aux attaques de bactéries. Ce voile blanchâtre est plus facilement visible sur les individus sombres bien entendu.

L'axolotl boule, qu'est ? comment mieux comprendre? peut il cohabiter avec vos autres axolotls? Haut de page Axolotl boule Axolotl boule AXOLOTL BALL (DWARF) Share The ball axolotl has a much shorter body than its mates, the neck is almost the width of the head. Nathalie Louf Nathalie Louf The veil is curled because it has often continued to grow. He can very well live like this for many years. On the other hand, it is of course not recommended to make it reproduce, or at least to keep its offspring. But it is not necessarily a suffering animal as we sometimes read ... Many people maintain it not by fad, but because this loulou if he eats well is lively and tonic, lives peacefully , has no reason to be euthanized right? In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. Nathalie Louf has had several that she maintains with her "grown-ups" without it ever being a problem. On the other hand, the "ball" or dwarf axolotl has a lower bone density compared to its congeners (observed via radiography at a veterinarian), therefore of greater fragility at this level. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. One should not become paranoid when a juvenile with the veil curled very small or the round container. In full growth, the veil often grows faster than the body of kitties. As for the well-rounded container, it is explained by wolverines who eat well. Nathalie Louf Nathalie Louf Texte de Pauline André pour raconter l'histoire de son axolotl boule Bonjour tout le monde. Je préfère préciser, certaines photos peuvent choquer. Je fais ce post afin de partager avec vous ma terrible expérience en espérant qu'il serve à faire comprendre qu'il ne faut pas faire n'importe quoi avec nos axolotls, de leur naissance jusqu'à leur dernier souffle. Merci à ceux et celles qui vont avoir le courage de tout lire. J'ai eu énormément de mal à écrire... Bien le bonjour tout le monde, moi c'est Cacahuète ! Comme vous pouvez le voir je suis un axolotl boule, enfin, j'étais... Je suis née quelques part chez un particulier, je ne sais pas où je ne m'en souviens pas. J'ai été adopté par une maman merveilleuse qui a craqué sur moi et qui, malheureusement, ne connaissait pas les axolotls boule, et l'horrible personne qui m'a fait naître n'a pas fait ce qu'il fallait (nous étions plusieurs). Comme vous êtes censés savoir, normalement, des énergumènes comme moi, nous ne sommes pas censés vivre car fragiles, handicapés et tout ce qui va bien... Mais bon, maintenant que ma maman m'a adopté, elle a pris grand soin de moi. Je n'ai jamais été malheureuse, j'ai vécu avec des copains et des copines, j'avais un grand bac pour mes compagnons et moi, nous étions très heureux ensemble. J'ai grandi et maman avait un doute sur mon genre (moi je savais que j'étais une femelle mais je n'ai rien dis, sinon ce n'est pas drôle). Et puis un jour, la vie n'épargne personne. Ma maman ne pouvait plus s'occuper de nous pour des raisons qui lui sont propres. Elle a mis une annonce sur un forum, et sur des groupes facebook. Une dame l'a contacté, elle avait flashé sur moi, et sur mon copain Bradley (un gigantesque axolotl Copper de 34cm ! Et vous comprenez d'où lui vient son nom... Maman a de l'humour!). Cette dame a mis un moment avant de se décider, elle avait de la place pour un, et finalement elle a décidé de nous prendre tous les deux ! J'allais changer de maison avec un copain ! Août 2023, notre nouvelle maman est venue nous chercher Bradley et moi, elle avait fait plus d'une heure et demie de route pour venir nous chercher. Je ne vais pas mentir, tous les deux, nous lui avons fait peur. Le voyage et la quarantaine nous ont vraiment perturbé, nous refusions de manger les granulés qu'elle nous donnait. Puis elle a fini par nous mettre ensemble dans un grand tupperware, et quelques jours après on a mangé ce qu'elle nous avait donné ! Une semaine après, nous avons fait le grand plongeon dans l'aquarium ! Beaucoup de changements, nous l'avons bien exploré. Nous sommes bien dans notre nouveau chez nous ! Mes deux mamans sont très souvent en contact, notre nouvelle maman nous prend en photo et les envoie à notre première maman. Nous vivons une très belle vie. Un an plus tard, ma maman décide de changer entièrement d'aquarium, plus grand, plus large, plus haut, plus spacieux quoi ! Un vrai paradis ! Nous avons mis du temps avant de visiter ce nouvel endroit (bah oui maman travaille, et dans les vignes en plus donc elle garde pour elle ses mains pourris de raisin et de produit ! BEURK!) Je m'y fais bien à la nouvelle maison, je suis un axolotl heureux ! Mais tout bascule rapidement, ma vie prends une tournure dramatique... Cela faisait plusieurs semaines que maman avait remarqué que je ne descendais plus, j'étais tout le temps dans les plantes flottantes, je descendais juste pour manger (quand j'arrivais à descendre), je n'arrivais plus à me servir de mes pattes arrières (déjà que je ne m'en servais que d'une à l'arrière...). Du coup maman m'a sorti de l'aquarium pour m'isoler et essayer de me remettre sur mes quatre pattes. J'ai réussi le soir-même ! Maman s'est très souvent réveillée dans la nuit, et son dernier réveil était à 3h30. A son réveil à 6h, je l'ai vu paniquée... Mais je n'y suis pour rien, je n'ai pas fais exprès... J'ai mal maman, terriblement mal... Je bouge et je gigote de douleur et mon eau est rouge sang, et j'ai peur... Elle est obligée d'attendre 9h l'ouverture du vétérinaire. On lui propose un rendez-vous à 11h, mais maman n'a pas de voiture ce jour-là, elle est au contrôle technique et elle a son neveu à aller chercher à l'école à midi, et sa mère e besoin de la voiture... La dame au téléphone est très compréhensive et lui donne rendez-vous pour 15h30. Je souffre toujours autant... Je la vois venir me voir très souvent, et parfois mon eau est plus rouge qu'avant. Nous arrivons chez le vétérinaire avec ma maman et ma grand-mère, je ne bouge plus beaucoup, je souffre beaucoup. Maman pense qu'elle va avoir à faire à son vétérinaire habituel, mais c'est une femme qui va s'occuper de moi. Cette dame, très gentille, n'a malheureusement pas toutes les compétences qu'il faut pour s'occuper de moi, c'est ma maman qui lui explique beaucoup de choses, comme quoi je n'ai aucune blessure externe visible, que le vilain matou amateur d'eau goût axolotl ne m'a rien fait, que je n'ai pas de blessure aux branchies ni dans la bouche et que c'est forcément interne. La gentille vétérinaire m'emmène et m'installe sur un drôle de truc. Ça fait beaucoup de bruit, je n'aime pas ça et je bouge (je m'excuse d'avoir été une patiente pénible pour le coup...). De ce que j'ai entendu, il n'y avait rien qui pouvait faire une occlusion et il n'y avait pas d’œuf (la dame ne devait pas savoir qu'il n'y avait pas de coquille sur mes œufs...), mais qu'elle n'arrivait pas à voir s'il y avait un épanchement ou une blessure interne. Elle a proposé à ma maman de me ramener chez nous avec des bains antibiotiques, mais maman a refusé... Non pas parce qu'elle ne voulait pas me soigner (sinon elle ne m'aurait pas emmené...) mais parce qu'elle voyait que je souffrais beaucoup... Mes pattes étaient le long de mon corps, ma queue repliée et je saignais encore... Maman a demandé à ce que la vétérinaire m'endorme... Elle ne pouvait pas supporter me voir souffrir autant... La vétérinaire m'a emmené dans une autre pièce, et je ne me rappelle plus... Je dormais... J'ai juste senti une aiguille me piquer sur le côté droit, et je me suis endormie... Pour toujours... Je sais que maman a demandé une autopsie pour comprendre... Et deux jours après, la gentille vétérinaire l'a appelé et lui a dit que je souffrais d'une hépatite nécrosante... en gros mon foie était en train de pourrir lentement... Elle avait raison maman, je souffrais... Et je ne la remercierai jamais assez d'avoir eu le courage de me dire au revoir. Je suis partie en paix, je ne souffre plus maintenant. J'étais malade parce que j'étais un axolotl boule. J'étais malade à cause d'une personne qui a voulu se faire de l'argent sur notre dos à mes frères et sœurs et moi-même, mais contrairement à des congénères normaux ou handicapés, j'ai eu une vie magnifique, et je remercie mes mamans de m'avoir aimé comme elles l'ont fait. Alors s'il vous plaît, ne faites pas n'importe quoi avec nous, en plus de nous faire souffrir, vous faites souffrir des humains comme mes mamans... Ayez conscience que même si nous sommes handicapés, ce n'est pas un handicap comme chez vous les humains, nous souffrons de notre handicap, et si vous nous aimez, nous les axolotls, alors faites en sorte que cela arrive moins... Et s'il vous plaît, si vous nous aimez autant que certains peuvent le dire, ayez le courage de nous dire au revoir quand plus rien n'est possible pour nous. Nous garder en vie parce que vous nous aimez n'est pas un acte d'amour, mais un acte égoïste... Vous le faites pour vos chiens, chats ou tout autres animaux, et nous méritons le même traitement qu'eux. Pauline André

Bactéries, résines anti nitrates, conditionneurs compatibles avec nos axololts Haut de page tests tests too many nitrates leaving the tap? + 20mg We read everything and its opposite on the internet, here are the precise references (brands and names) of proven products that are perfectly compatible and safe with our axolotls. Nitrates are known to be necessary, the ideal being 10 mg / liter. However, the mains water in some towns contains too much, in order to prevent algae from thriving too much or your parameters being unstable, there is a solution: anti-nitrate resins! Yes, it is possible with axololts, most resins have a mechanical action (ion exchange) so there is absolutely no risk for your kitties. However, there is no need to use them to avoid water changes or to space them out, this would destabilize all the parameters, falling ph, polluted and loaded water. And you need nitrates for your plants! here are some brands that you can buy with confidence: Share (Click on the images to be redirected to the merchant site) Trop de silicates ? SO2 Les silicates ne sont pas dangereux pour les poissons, cependant, ils peuvent très vite ruiner l'aspect esthétique de l'aquarium. C'est pourquoi il est important de tester précisément l'eau de l'aquarium. Il suffira de mettre cette résine dans votre filtration. ADDING BACTERIA? The ideal is to let nature take its course, prowling is used for that. The two groups of bacteria necessary for the transformation of ammonia and ammonium (axolotl waste and food) become nitrites (No2) thanks to the nitrosomonas bacteria, these nitrites themselves become nitrates (No3) thanks to the nitrobacter bacteria. But an accident can happen, a treatment killing all or most of these nice bacteria, a pump breaking down, stopping it for too long (more than three hours, without the stirring of the filter media they die. unthoughtful purchase of axolotl (unfortunately too frequent). So yes, you can use bacteria in these specific cases: here are the ones recognized as effective, afterwards it is at your own risk, but a lot of perlinpinpin powder is sold ... or additive products can be added to it. We do not add bacteria when we have a peak of nitrites otherwise we increase this peak and we run into disaster! The bacteria must be added to well-rested and dechlorinated water, otherwise they will be killed and added for nothing. This is only for a start-up or following a treatment (otherwise another possibility: rinse the filter media of another aquarium well run for a long time and which has not undergone treatment). One more thing do not confuse bacteria and water conditioner ... (the conditioner is supposed to remove chlorine, lead etc from your tap water). Observe the recommended doses to avoid pollution.

Grace à ce tutoriel vous pourrez vous aussi fabriquer votre filtration 100 % naturelle ! Design biological filtration Share "Hi 😊 Just to share our experience with you, at the very beginning (a few years ago) we had a filtration (block) but it was not our thing. For 3 years we have opted for natural filtration, we have glued a glass plate in a corner of the aquarium and put sand and gravel as well as plants. We just have a tiny tiny little pump that sends the water through the filtration at the bottom, and the water comes up, filtering through the gravel, then smaller gravel, and finally sand on the surface. This method completely crushes all residues such as feces, pellets ... and even eggs (we don't even bother to remove them all at once!) It has also been 3 years since we no longer have to make water changes or clean the filtration. The aquarium parameters have also been excellent for 3 years, we have never had a problem, a peak in nitrites, nitrates .... The axolotls are in excellent health, we have never had any worms or mycoses , no losses, no aggressiveness. In short, for us this filtration is a success, the water cascades from the top, which means that we also have no problem with stagnant water. We just wanted to show some that it's really easy to set up and it's really great to know that all the parameters remain excellent 3 years after the start of this method! Especially since we use very little floor space to leave them as much space as possible 😊 " Leave enough room for a PVC elbow laid flat on the bottom. Pebble or stone of at least 50 mm. Gravel 30/40 mm. Porous gravel 10/20 mm type Pozzolana . Unsifted Loire sand. Distance between the side and the plate between 20 and 25 mm. Thanks to Actinidia Citrus and Marmote Saigneur for this sharing, hoping that it will help people for a 100% organic filtration system for their tank. To switch from its classic filtration (with pump) to this one, it is necessary to rinse and wring out the filter media (brown juice) which contain the bacteria on the gravel and the sand. These bacteria will lodge in the pozzolana which will colonize quickly. And don't change the aquarium water of course

Certains se posent la question : puis je éléver mes axolotls en bassin extérieur ? Haut de page quelle filtration? quelle filtration? RAISE IN A BASIN ... GOOD OR BAD IDEA ? Share Some people practice more and more the breeding of axolotls in outdoor pools, admittedly this seems an ideal compromise at first glance, however ... In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. I questioned Doctor Sylvain Larrat * on this specific point * Exclusive NAC veterinarian, exotic animals, wild and aquatic fauna, asking him what his opinion was: "The lack of water temperature control, exposure to predators (herons, mink, etc.), increased exposure to all pathogens **, and possibly water quality problems (polluted rain, algae problem, oxygenation level). In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. The risk of introduction into the external environment is a definite problem, but it is not necessarily enough to change people's opinion " In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. * Diplomat of the American College of Zoological Medicine Associate Professor, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Montreal B. Franklin Veterinary Clinic, Auray, Brittany, France. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. ** the risks of infestations the axolotls present in the pond by bacteria and fungi such as Chytridiomycosis or simply the transport of their eggs in our rivers, ponds, investing our fauna is not to be taken lightly. When we maintain species from another geographical region it is a responsibility, it is not serious to think that we can control everything like preventing any contact with the local fauna, it is utopian. Unfortunately, this has happened with so many species that are now considered invasive.
