Petit tuto pour vous faire gagner jusqu'à 4° Fabriquer sa galerie leds / Ventilateurs. Tutoriel rampe de ventilateurs Two methods to create a fan ramp Share Small tutorial to save you up to 4 ° very useful for the aquariums of your axolotls! Build your leds / Fans gallery. Necessary : -6 PC blue led fans (or more in multiples of 2) (you can also take non-luminous fans, but it's less pretty at night) -2 aquarium led ramps 46 cm (or more depending on the size of your tank) Remember to check their operation before starting this tutorial. -3 stakes the size of the length of the aquarium (outer edge to outer edge for measuring) of section of 30x45mm (or 30x40mm if you can not find any, as I had to do) - Screws 25mm long and 3mm or 4mm in diameter -Plastic clamps - Galvanized mesh 5x5mm mesh (optional, used to protect the blades on the aquarium side) -A cutting pliers -A screwdriver -Electric dominoes of medium size -A tape measure, a square and a pencil -Electric cable (or speakers) two sections On the outer cleats a line at 1cm from the edge and one in the middle of the central cleat (use the widest side) Make a mark in the middle of each line Measure the distance between the two holes on one side of a fan Draw a perpendicular to the edge of the cleats passing through the center of the two holes made previously. And transfer it to one of the outer cleats so that the mark in the middle of the cleat corresponds to the middle of the fan and tighten two screws to pre-drill it. On the central cleat, make a mark 2cm from each edge on each of the two lines obtained Using the square, make sure that the cleats are aligned Pre-drill the cleats at each mark on the central cleat and at the intersections on the remaining central cleat Secure the two down arrow fans starting by attaching them to the two outer brackets. Then fix a fan arrow upwards at 5 mm from the edge between the bottom cleat and the central cleat by positioning it along the line then the same thing on the other side (place it, make a mark with the screwdriver and pre -drill at each corner). Then place the two fans arrow up, keeping the widest part facing you. Measure the space between the two fans in order to place on the third cleat the two remaining fans in the middle of the remaining space. Then cut the connectors of the fans (you can also fit them into each other but I preferred to assemble everything with electric dominoes because they take up less space). Strip the wires of about 5mm Then assemble the red wires together in a domino then the black wires in another, all on the same side then fix the cables to the cleats with plastic clamps (cut the excess of the collar with the wire cutters). Do not hesitate to use several dominoes and connect them together with a double section electric cable. Then take the power supply from one of the two led bars, cut the connector for the led bar, strip the two 5 mm cables and connect the red with a domino connected to the other red wires and do the same with the black wire . Do not forget to fix the cables to the cleats with cable ties. Check that the fans are all working properly. Otherwise, check the assembly. Then position the LED bars against the fans (remove the fastening elements provided) and attach them to the cleat with clamps. Then cut the connectors of the LED bars and the last power supply and using a domino, connect the red wires together then the black wires. Then connect the LED bars to check their operation otherwise check the connection. Optional: Creation of protective cages for the fan blades. With the galvanized mesh, cut squares of 2cm side more than the size of your fans, cut a square of 1cm side in each corner and fold the edges obtained so as to make a square the size of your fan, place these "bells" on your fans so that the edges go up on the fan and secure with hose clamps. Cut off the excess plastic from the hose clamps and your gallery is finished.

- Nécrose des extrémités | France | Axolotls et Cie
L'axolotls comme ses congénères aquatiques attrape des maladies, infections ou peut etre blessé, le soigner oui, mais comment? NECROSIS OF THE EXTREMITIES Share In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. Blackening of the extremities (Uncommon disease), necrosis. On depigmented or albino axolotls, this results in a blackening of the ends of the legs (we are not talking here of their small claws but of the whole hand or leg), or of the mouth, the cesspool, etc ... more advanced stage, the disease causes disintegration of the fingertips. The bones appear, then dissolve. On a black animal, I think we will only see the fingers that disappear. The evolution is very slow. Quite simple treatment: It is enough to put a general anti-bacterial of aquarist trade in the water, by respecting the doses. In my case, I used Temerol. An animal just touched at the fingertips healed in a few days. A much more seriously affected animal (legs, muzzle, cesspool) recovered after a period of treatment.

L'axolotls comme ses congénères aquatiques attrape des maladies, infections ou peut etre blessé, le soigner oui, mais comment? BASIC PHARMACY Share Produit de base : - Du mercurochrome (pour désinfecter). - De la bétadine (pour désinfecter). - Du bleu de méthylène (pour désinfecter, contre les points blancs, les contagions). - Du F.M.C (contre les mycoses et infections externes de parasites unicellulaires). - Du Metronidazole/Flagyl (contre la maladie des trous). - Du Flubendazole(contre les vers intestinaux, les vers de la peau et des branchies). - De la tétracycline (en dernier recours). - L'argent colloïdal est une substance pré-biotique, anti septique et antibiotique ! - Un désinfectant général (pour les maladies sans symptômes) (Sera Omnipur). - Un produit contre les bactéries (Sera Baktopur , Melafix , arbre à thé ). - Un produit contre les mycoses et les infections (eSHa-2000) - Un produit contre l'oddinium et les points blancs ( esha exit ). - Un produit contre les champignons (Sera Mycopur et contre les vers de peau et de branchies combiner avec Sera ektopur ). - Un produit anti-fongique(Pimafix , à base de Pimenta, bois d'inde ). Pour ou contre l'argent colloïdal ? Concernant la réponse de mon confrère le Dr Meunier, je suis entièrement d'accord avec lui. Scientifiquement l'argent colloïdal présente de nombreuses contres indications, et une efficacité très limitée. Maintenant des personnes l'utilisent sans noter de problèmes. Cela ne veut pas dire qu'il n'y en a pas, et je rejoins mon confrère sur le questionnement concernant les risques chroniques. Il en est de même pour de nombreux produits dont on revient en arrière, le bleu de méthylène, le vert de malachite, le sulfate de cuivre... Même si des efficacité ponctuelles peuvent être reconnues, cela n'empêche pas les effets cancérigènes, destructeurs rénaux, hémolytique, accumulation tissulaire, perturbations endocriniennes, troubles de la reproduction, effet tératogène, et les questions de pollutions environnementales... Toutes ces questions étaient bien loin d'être réfléchies au moyen âge, et jusqu'il y a quelques décennies. Associé à cela aucune étude valable ne confirme l'efficacité de l'argent colloïdal, d'où la réserve de mon confrère que je partage. L'efficacité du bleu de méthylène en terme curatif à été complètement contredite scientifiquement. Le seul intérêt prouvé est un effet bacteriostatique, il empêche les milieux aquatiques de tourner. Concernant la toxicité il n'y a pas de consensus. Dr Jérôme Blanc Un troisième vétérinaire conseille et utilise l argent colloïdal. Et un second dit ceci à propos du bleu de méthylène : "L'efficacité du bleu de méthylène en terme curatif à été complètement contredite scientifiquement. Le seul intérêt prouvé est un effet b1cteriostatiuqe, il empêche les milieux aquatiques de tourner. Concernant la toxicité il n'y a pas de consensus. " Je suis bien d'accord, c'est compliqué. Parce qu'aucun produit n'a été vraiment testé dans des conditions expérimentales strictes (c'est à dire en menant des essais pouvant conduire à la mort d'animaux, pour voir jusqu'où on peut aller). En regardant la bibliographie, on trouve de tout, c'est pour ça que je parle de doute raisonnable. Je me réfère à mes deux sources biblio les plus récentes, Exotic animal formulary, et Handbook of exotic pet medicine, qui ne mentionnent pas l'argent colloïdal, mais le bleu (avec deux dosages différents !). Conclusion : Les avis divergent, car rien n'a jamais été clairement défini et testé jusqu'au bout. Il faut donc utiliser ces traitements avec parcimonie et ne pas en abuser, beaucoup ont tendance à bien trop traiter leurs axolotls, les épuisant et ruinant leurs défenses immunitaires. Relisez bien l'article sur l'argent colloïdal tiré du livre Le véritable argent colloïdal : un antibiotique naturel oublié. Chacun de ces deux traitements utilisé avec parcimonie respectera vos aquatiques, différenciez bien le rôle du bleu de méthylène et de l'argent colloïdal. -- Tuto Aquadocteur.com : "incorporation de médicaments et compléments dans l'aliment de type granulés". Les traitements par l'alimentation peuvent être très utiles pour les poissons de bassins.

Le Dr. Jérôme Blanc vous propose un Tuto simple pour la réalisation d'un aliment complémenté de manière homogène et efficace.

Commander du bleu de méthylène HOLTFRETER SOLUTION In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. Holtfreter solution is an aqueous solution used primarily in aquariums to prevent infections in early stage amphibians. It is usually mixed with mains water. invented by Johannes Holtfreter, German biologist and zoologist who has carried out numerous studies on the cells of amphibian embryos. This solution is therefore used either in an aquarium or in a hospital tank. In various cases such as dermal pathologies, spawning appearing to be fungus (concentration at 10-20%), to help the healing of the skin of amphibians (concentration at 50 or 100%), and in the event of prophylaxis (concentration at 40-50%). In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. You can ask for your preparation at the pharmacy for more convenience or improvise yourself as a chemist by respecting the following doses: - 3.46 g NaCl (sodium chloride, non-iodized) - 0.05 g KCl (potassium chloride) - 0.1 g CaCl2 (Calcium Chloride) - 0.2 g NaHCO3 (Sodium Bicarbonate) in a liter of water at pH 7.5. NON-IODIZED SALT The salts act as anti fungal and therefore kill fungi (mycosis), they also serve as an anti poison to purge the absorption of drugs or toxic products, and promote osmo regulation (skin / interior and exterior water exchange) allowing amphibians to be able to better absorb care and more easily recover the oxygen contained in the water. you must always have it at home to be able to react quickly. • Table salts are all enriched with iodine except gray Guérande salt (which still contains it naturally but in tiny traces so no risk) so you have to buy either Guérande salt or Regenerating salt for dishwashers. (It's always surprising but yes it's still simple salt not enriched in iodine and containing only tiny traces, it is the most suitable, because the least iodized. Here are examples of widely used brands like Apta or Calgonit which are perfectly suited as well as the Carrefour or Leclerc brands, etc. The important thing is to be on a 100% NaCl formulation. Do not buy the Sun brand which contains additives. Guérande salt, which does not contain any additional iodine addition, can also be used instead of dishwasher salt during treatments. It is very well tolerated. But only Guérande salt, be careful! (Click on the images to be redirected to the merchant site) SALT Adding salt increases the ion concentration of the water. There are 2 salt treatments and one does not have the same usefulness as the other! 1: osmotic rest. A small concentration of salt in the aquarium water makes it easier for some fish to recover from illness or injury (the best example is betta), freshwater fish have a concentration of salt in the blood higher than that of water (unlike saltwater fish in which it is quite the opposite), aquarium water is therefore always absorbed by their body to avoid bursting they must continually reject it (through the gills or urine). A light addition of salt alleviates this work of elimination and allows the fish to fight more effectively against illness or injury! In addition, the salt is slightly antiseptic and healing (I myself tested it on a betta whose veil had been torn by the filter). The doses used for "osmotic rest" do not require the tank to be gradually desalted afterwards! this will happen naturally as the water changes. 1 teaspoon of salt for 10 liters of water (Non-iodized, preferably from Guérande) This treatment is absolutely not appreciated by plants and invertebrates! CAUTION: fish living in very fresh water and those with very thin skin are particularly sensitive to this treatment! 2: antiparasitic treatment Adding salt to the water increases the osmotic pressure, bacteria and protozoa cannot resist this sudden change! In this case, it is important to gradually desalt. 5grams of salt per liter then add a little salt every 2 hours until reaching 10g per liter. Salt is used for the following diseases: chilodonnelosis, costiosis, diplozoonosis, fungus, gyrodactilosis, white spots, myxozomiasis, oodinium, discus plague, saprolegniosis, achlya, trichodinosis, against leeches and hydras as well as intoxication with no² or ammonia. After healing remove and replace 1/3 of the water then change 50% of the water and finally a new change of 50% (this spread over several hours) It is also possible to use this treatment but in a short bath but beware this treatment is much more stressful and toxic for the fish! watch it closely! 20g per liter of water in a container with a bubbler to oxygenate the water, raise the temperature of the container by 2 ° compared to the temperature of the tank. Bath of 15 minutes maximum unless the fish show the slightest sign of distress. Then reintroduce the fish in its tank after having very gradually desalted its "bath" by drip! Betadine This famous disinfectant can be very effective on our axolotls! The "methylene blue being more and more difficult to find and having less antiseptic virtues than betadine, do not hesitate! If your axo is injured brush the injured part with betadine (in gel it turns out much more practice) by means of a cotton swab Betadine contains 10% iodine but veterinarians use it during operations and advise it because the quantity is tiny and not harmful during a simple application. homeopathy Euphrasia officinalis 9CH: remedy against inflammation of the ocular mucous membranes, conjunctivitis, ulceration of the cornea = in a fish or exophthalmos axunm. 3 granules in the tank regardless of the liter and this until complete recovery and continue at the same dosage for another 5 to 6 days. Mercurochrome The disinfectant mercurochrome is used either by touching wounds and ulcers, or in a 2% aqueous solution. The dose of 10 drops per 10 l of water. Doses of 3 drops per 10 I can be used for preventive care; plants with large leaves do not tolerate this treatment well Other drugs that can be used as leads for your vet Some of these treatments can be combined with permanent salt baths or not in order to facilitate their absorption. Baytril : Enrofloxacin 5% ( VETERINARY ANTIBIOTIC ) At a proportion of 0.5 ml / 1.5 l for 10/15 minutes with salt 3 teaspoons in 1.5 liters of water for a week more rest in the refrigerator (all the way down 9 ° C). So here it is a treatment prescribed by a veterinarian, antibiotic and antifungal. Some may die because, depending on the extent of the lesions, the axolotls can no longer get oxygen. As this treatment is only available on prescription, it is given to you to possibly help your own veterinarian if he does not practice care on amphibians and in particular axolotls. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. Mycolicin (chloramphenicol) Molecule that can be used in cases of internal infection (ascites) or generalized (hemorrhage, edema). It is used in a permanent bath at the rate of 40 drops per liter of water for a week In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. Marbocyl (marbofoxacin) Can be used as a permanent bath: 0.75 ml / L over a week, or by injection: 5 units per day over a period of 10 days. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. Baytril (enrofoxacin) concentration at 2.5% orally: Dosages vary according to the type of condition (internal or external). Can also be used in B ain, if intensive it will be one ml for 1.5 liters of water and for a week for a permanent bath it has been recommended 0.4ml per liter of water and for a longer duration ie 20 days. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. LOTIONS AND OINTMENTS Ketorderm (persistent mycoses less questionable additives than in Temerol according to a specialist veterinarian) In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. Sporiline 1% (tolnaftate) Localized mycosis (on the surface or in a cyst). Local application: once a day for six days. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. Fradexam (framycetin and dexamethasone For all localized external infections such as necrotizing wounds, cysts or ulcers. Local application: 1 / d => 8/10 days In addition: permanent disinfectant bath during the first 3 days. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. Itrafungol (itraconazole) 1% (10mg / ml) To treat Chytridiomycosis at a rate of 3ml per 5L of water in an intensive bath of 10 minutes per day and for a period of 7 to 10 days. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. PANACUR ( fenbendazole 10%) : ANTI INTESTINAL WORMS effective anti-parasite treatment often associated with Flagyl. Oral use: 0.09 ml. (available only on prescription). In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. CAPIZOL: ANTI INTESTINAL WORMS 1 ml for 15 liters of water (dewormer) In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. Dolthene: ANTI HYDRES (to be used sparingly because many axolotls have more or less intolerance) : 2.5 ml / 10 liters of water for 3 days then water change of 50% then filtration on carbon then absolutely reseed with bacteria. The only ones that I recommend because used for many years and especially also used by large aquariums in France and zoos (Biockik of the Oase brand) (this product causes alopecia areata and anemia in some axolotls), renew the treatment 20 days later to kill the eggs. And therefore start the whole operation again. So not to be done lightly and certainly not as a preventive measure, we are not on the discus. Some axolotls moreover do not support this treatment. Concernant l’utilisation de la bétadine sur les axolotl, il n’y a aucun problème. Cette toxicité est une légende. Il n’y a pas d’absorption suffisante du produit en application locale pour espérer une quelconque toxicité sur l’animal (au même titre qu’une quelconque efficacité systémique ou profonde). La bétadine est vendue librement, pour usage sur muqueuses (intimes) , bébés, nourrissons…si l’iode pouvait représenter le moindre risque par absorption cutanée on ne l’utiliserait pas à grande échelle sur les humains. Les risques à retenir sont : l’irritation branchiale donc à ne pas appliquer sur les branchies, et donc également à ne pas réaliser en bain (mais au même titre que pour les poissons, d’eau douce ou de mer, sans aucun lien avec l’iode) et à ne pas faire avaler. Je l’utilise régulièrement en désinfection cutanée des poissons et batraciens sans aucun problème, et une efficacité nettement plus élevée que les désinfectants liquides que l’on en peut pas laisser en contact plus de quelques secondes.

LA MOULE D'EAU DOUCE et son utilité L’anodonte ou Anodonta Grandis est la plus grosse moule de toutes nos eaux douces françaises.Sa présence est un signe du b Haut de page microfaune microfaune FRESH WATER MOLD Share The anodont or Anodonta Grandis is the largest mussel of all our French freshwater. Its presence is a sign of the good condition of the pond or the river, indeed this organism does not support pollution. She tolerates eutrophic waters well because they are full of food for her but the chemicals eventually kill her. The mussel lives in the bottom of the water and half buries itself in a bed of silt, sand or gravel. She has the ability to move and does not stay still at night. Some claim that it filters up to 30 liters of water per day, others speak more of a few liters. It feeds on microorganisms such as plankton and bacteria. To put it simply, it is an autonomous filter that feeds on everything that is lying around in the water as long as it is very small. The anodont is hermaphrodite. Its larvae (glochidia) remain inside the mum / daddy's shell for a year before being expelled. They then attach themselves to the scales or fins of the fish where they become encysted causing a nice button on their body. After a number of weeks, the larva which fed on the fish eventually metamorphosed and then left its cyst to fall to the bottom of the water where it will live for many years. So it is better for the well-being of our axolotls to keep only one per aquarium.
- Axolotls et cie, Substrats pour axolotls
Il s’agit ici d’un support sur lequel se développe un organisme, donc nos fameuses bactéries nettoyeuses et nécessaires à la vie dans l’aquarium. Haut de page substrats substrats Choose the ground Share Calculation table for the volume of sand to be installed Choosing the right soil for your aquarium: This is a medium on which an organism develops, and therefore our famous cleaning bacteria necessary for life in the aquarium. It is necessary to define the substance, the material, concerning this surface layer of the soil. It is a necessary element for axolotls: on the one hand it avoids the reflection of light on the glass wall of the ground, and on the other hand allows a grip for the small very thin legs of the axos (legs you may have noticed not equipped for running) which prevents too much strain on the little developed muscles of the kitties. Another aspect remains the general aesthetics what could be more beautiful than an aquarium with a natural background and allowing the planting of many plants. As an aquarium is a microcosm, you might as well reproduce natural settings as much as possible. On the other hand for young axolotls of less than 10 cm it is better to avoid the presence of any soil quite simply because it could cause an occlusion. The sansibar being ultra thin does not pose a problem, however. This concern also arises for older children with pebbles and pebbles. The axolotl has a huge mouth opening however the cloaca does not have as much margin, which clearly means an occlusion for the little cabbage. It eats its food while sucking it is therefore regularly found with sand in the stomach so as much to ensure that the grain size of it is suitable, a grain size less than or equal to 2 mm seems perfect. Larger chippings may emerge but create micro lesions on the intestine or even the stomach walls. Do not put anything under your sand as you can often do for fish, neither fertilizer nor peat, nor all-in-one substrate for that matter, because this is harmful for axolotls (some create agglomerates and others contain iron destroying the liver of axolotls). Choose your soil Avoid vivarium sands, used for reptiles and various lizards, they are not intended to stay underwater diverting them from their primary use can lead to negative effects on the material which can disintegrate or distribute in the water of harmful elements. Some examples of recommended and not recommended soils ... fine sand that you will easily find at a pool specialist. The sand used for the filtration of the swimming pool pumps is perfect and economical since the 25kg bags can be bought in various DIY stores and at swimming pool specialists for around 8 euros. Black sand specific to aquarium and containing neither quartz nor dye. Aqualux Concept has new colors including totally black sand! Caviar colored microbeads at aqualuxconcept click on the image Micro balls Which exist in different colors but it is necessary to choose those for strictly aquarist use. Cases of occlusion have just been reported to us recently, so be careful with the use of the microbead ... Fine sand like sansibar available at M. Brico **** Quartzs are prohibited for two reasons: the presence of metals in the components and also the small sharp edges of the elements which can cause internal damage. (Click on the images to be redirected to the merchant site) In some countries it is very common to use foam mats so I put a picture for you with a link. It is not because it is a black foam that it contains charcoal, everything is specified on the titles. Calculate the volume of sand you need to buy to fill your aquarium. Say your aquarium is 150cm by 50cm deep and you want 4cm of substrate height. So we calculate as follows: 150 x 50 x 4 = 30,000 30,000/1000 = 30 kilos of sand. If they are micro balls, they will be lighter, so you will have to plan for less. Click on the pictures to order
- Abces-axolotls | France | Axolotls et Cie
L'axolotls comme ses congénères aquatiques attrape des maladies, infections ou peut etre blessé, le soigner oui, mais comment? ABSCESS Share Abscesses often have the initial cause of a micro injury which then became infected, forming a swollen pouch. The axolotl will no longer be hungry, quite simply because the wound will be painful, hindering the absorption of any food. Very often it is located on the head of the axolotl (frequent injury in the mouth which may be caused by ingestion such as shrimp, or a pebble, etc.). An abscess "matures" then eventually "bursts". It is advisable to isolate your loulou in a hospital tank before and leave it in a methylene blue bath (or Esha 2000) to disinfect the wound after bursting of this abscess. You can also have it pierced by a veterinarian, but above all, do not improvise yourself in this role !!! The process can last a month, between the appearance of the abscess and its bursting. If this has taken place at home, check that there is no superinfection because antibiotics would be necessary. The axolotl will regain its appetite once the injury is no longer bothering it. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. Check the possible cause of this injury so that "the incident does not happen again (decorations, food, etc.). The axolotl before its abscess. An abscess appears on the head of the axo. He no longer feeds because of the pain of the inflammation. D + 4 The abscess begins to decrease and be less inflamed.

This clinic is located in Bordeaux: 8, boulevard Godard - 33000 Bordeaux Phone: 05 56 39 15 48 http://www.veterinaire-alliance.fr/ “Lucky, this female axolotl was presented to us because she had not been eating for two weeks. Clinical examination revealed the presence of oral masses. The puncture and cytological analysis revealed that these masses were abscesses. Lucky was put on antibiotics Fish and amphibians can be treated like cats and dogs! We wish Lucky a good recovery! " This axolotl is that of Anne Sophie Ciliberto who kindly accepted like the veterinary clinic to share this information with you, not to self-medicate but to guide your veterinarian if he is not specialized and that possibly he can contact the Clinique Alliance de Bordeaux, but also so that you know that this case can happen to one of your axolotls. The vet gave him an injection of anti-inflammatory drugs. His treatment is spread over 2 weeks. It must therefore remain isolated. The treatment is to be administered either in water or directly into the mouth.

Un vétérinaire tarnais n'hésitant pas à travailler sur tous les animaux existant ! Travail extrèment soigné et explications concrètes et claires. LARROQUETTE YANN VETERINARY CLINIC Share 35 Chemin de Fretemiche, 81100 Castres Phone : 05 63 72 00 08 Open from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday and from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. I took my axolotl to Doctor Larroquette, he had ascites (edema), and his body was swelling so much that the blood vessels were rupturing, blisters appeared under the chin and above the two front legs. On Monday the axolotl began to show still discreet symptoms, on Wednesday it was like in these photos! Antibiotic treatment was prescribed by the doctor. Start of treatment on Wednesday evening: Baytril for an axolotl of 220 grams. Orally, 0.1 ml for 10 days. During treatment, optimal oxygenation is useful with the antibiotic which tends to stifle this exchange (skin / water). The next day the loulou almost completely deflated, apart from his two hind legs, but the transformation is spectacular! Its blisters having broken I was not able to inflict a salt bath on it to restore the osmotic exchange (and therefore promote oxygenation) but as the wounds begin to fungus I put it in a permanent blue bath. Is the concern being stopped? As specified by the veterinarian, ascites can have multiple causes: renal, cardiac, infectious). Since the antibiotic treatment is having an effect, it is very possible that it is a bacterial infection, the other axolotls have no symptoms and are doing very well, but maybe he was a healthy carrier of something or was deficient, it still remains a mystery. The 30/11/2016 It is not pretty to see but deflated . Day 3: the gills strombose and a blister re-swells. So I made the decision to put him back with his friends in the aquarium, because the well-being factor is vital in their healing and I know that he will have plenty of oxygen thanks to the many plants. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. Day 2-3-4: Incredible! its regeneration has started the wounds which were beginning to fungus are now clean! The gills grow back, the filaments grow bigger! The wounds are almost all healed, the skin is again beautiful and clear. The blood vessels that had ruptured with the edema are resorbed ... To be continued...
- Axolotls et cie, Cohabitation avec l'axolotl?
Les accidents sont si nombreux lors des cohabitations. Les poissons carnivore mangent ou se font manger il n'existe pas de "copinage" comme on le lit souvent. Haut de page cohabitation cohabitation FORBIDDEN HOUSING Share Many wish to add "life" to their aquarium, perhaps finding the axolotl too calm ... Yet this is the character of the animal you have chosen to adopt, prefer another in this case. There are so many accidents during cohabitation. Carnivorous fish eat or are eaten there is no such thing as "cronyism" as we often read. "They've been together for two years and everything is going well, there has never been a problem." Good if you think you have an axolotl or an extraordinary goldfish For information, groundfish such as ancistrus and corydoras are STRICTLY prohibited with our loulous. We do not even count the accidents (which in the process usually cost both lives which is very sad) you will no longer be able to say that you did not know. The ancistrus has a dorsal fin strewn with sharp thorns for its defense, so swallowed by mistake or reflex by your axolotl it will bristle it and plant its pincers in the palate and throat of the axo or if it "passes" it will lacerate stomach of it. a corydoras also has a single but poisonous backbone, containing poison. When our nice goldfish may not swallow your axolotl, it will just have fun "waxing" the filaments of the gills by seeing them move because he takes them for delicious worms. And will start over forever. Another point : just ask yourself about the maintenance temperature of any fish that you would like to incorporate? Do you know many who will live comfortably in these cool temperatures? Survive yes but that is not respectful for any species. In addition, the comings and goings of fish will only stress the quiet axolotl, which can cause growth retardation, lack of appetite, etc. The axolotl is sufficient on its own, you don't need other fish. respect it. Besides, little note, an axolotl does not keep at room temperature like a goldfish but at cool temperature (16/18 degrees) at least if you want it to be at its best. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. Other risks often overlooked: Flavobacterium which the guppy (among others) can be a healthy carrier or not, it is therefore Russian roulette more information here >>> Intestinal worms that can parasitize fish, they may or may not be visible >>> In addition to this, you will need to know more about it. Donc bannissez ces poissons de votre bac à axolotls ! The goldfish gobbles the filaments of the gills of axolotls or even its gills because for him they are simply delicious little worms! Both the ancistrus and the pleco have formidable dorsal and lateral spines, some axolotls unfortunately tried to swallow these fish and found themselves mouth and digestive tract impaled to die slowly (3 days the last case) excruciating suffering for two living beings in the end ... The other point, groundfish love to "suck" the soft skin of axos causing them nasty wounds and burns. The corydoras has a poisonous thorn the risks are therefore quite obvious for the axolotl! Cohabitation not recommended Shrimps such as Red cherry are sometimes recommended on certain sites. We have observed that this posed concerns: on the one hand, the chitin contained in their exoskeleton is not digested by the axolotls, on the other hand the peaks of shrimp can create micro lesions in their oral and esophageal or even stomach cavity, abscesses often come from these micro injuries.
- Axolotls et cie, Comprendre l'utilité d'un rôdage
Rôder signifie ''Mettre au point de façon progressive''. Le rodage est essentiel à la survie de vos futurs animaux. roder aqua THE NITROGEN CYCLE ACCELERATE THE CYCLE I have my axolotls but my aquarium is not finished "prowling" ... I have an important concern in my aquarium which requires that I take out my axolotls. Share THE NITROGEN CYCLE OR BREAK-IN ROAD: means '' Develop gradually ''. Break-in is essential to survival of your future animals. This is the process during which the aquarium is prepared for them to live there. Axolotls are poorly tolerant of chemicals like most starter bacteria and conditioners. (This being due to the fact that they do not have scales to protect themselves, their skin absorbs everything as well as a liver that does not filter everything ...) After acquiring your tank / vat, you will have to start this cycle. Water chemistry The well-being of fish and plants is closely linked to the quality of the water in which they live. To obtain and maintain suitable water quality, the aquarist does not have to become a seasoned chemist. However, understanding some basics about the nitrogen cycle, pH, hardness and CO2 is a key to success for the aquarist. This will avoid many of the frustrations that can discourage even the most optimistic. The nitrogen cycle The fish in our aquariums release organic waste into the water. To that In addition, there is the decomposition of plants and surplus food. The decomposition of nitrogenous products leads to the formation of ammonia (NH3), a compound highly toxic to most fish. In nature this This phenomenon is barely perceptible given the immensity of the volume of water involved and the bacterial balance that reigns there. But a tank, however large, represents a drop of water compared to natural expanses. The concentrations ammonia can reach critical proportions within hours. Fortunately, there is a biological phenomenon called nitrification which, with the help of aerobic bacteria, converts the highly toxic nitrogen compounds of ammonia (NH3) and nitrites (NO2-) into other nitrogen compounds that are much less toxic, nitrates. (NO3-). This is called the nitrogen cycle. The principle Organic waste in the aquarium breaks down into two main nitrogen compounds, ammonium (NH4 +) which is very low in toxicity, and ammonia (NH3), highly toxic. Subsequently, these compounds will be converted into nitrites (NO2-) by so-called nitrifying bacteria called nitrosomonas. These nitrites are also excessively toxic to fish. In fact, in an aquarium balanced, as soon as the nitrite concentration is measurable by the tests of the trade, we must immediately proceed to a water change (25 to 30%) in order to eliminate them as quickly as possible. Finally, the nitrites will in turn be converted into nitrates (NO3-) by the bacteria of the nitrobacter type. Nitrates, much less toxic than other nitrogen compounds, are only dangerous if they are in too great a concentration in the water. These will be partly assimilated by plants as nutrients, partly transformed into gaseous nitrogen (N2) and other compounds. Another part will remain in the bin. This is why, once the cycle has been established, water changes of 30% of the volume of the tank per month will avoid a too high concentration of nitrates. How to establish the cycle in an aquarium When starting an aquarium, the first thing to do is to ensure the establishment of the nitrogen cycle. To do this, you must first fill your tank with all the elements of the decor, the plants, as well as the water system. filtration. It is very important that the filtration system contains at least one substrate favoring the establishment of the bacterial colony. (ceramic noodles, pozzolana). It is also important to be able to test and measure the nitrites and nitrates in the tank. These tests are easily available in pet stores and on the internet. It is important not to put fish at this time, because the rise of ammonia and the rise of nitrites that will follow could be fatal for them. The bacteria necessary for nitrification are present everywhere in the environment. It is therefore not necessary to add any to start the cycle. All you have to do is cause the ammonia to rise and the bacteria will naturally colonize the filtration system and the gravel in the tank. A good way to accelerate the rise of ammonia is to put food for axolotls (to avoid the presence of iodine) every two days or so. Once the increase in ammonia obtained (approximately 5 to 10 days), one should observe in the following 7 to 12 days, a disappearance of this accompanied by a rise in nitrites. This means that the colony of nitrosomonas bacteria is installed. It only remains to wait for the colony of nitrobacter bacteria to set up in its turn, which should take another 7-10 days. This will be confirmed by the disappearance of nitrites and the possible appearance of nitrates. The only precise way to see these results is to do nitrite (No2) and nitrate (No3) tests. Once the cycle has been established, it is now possible to add the fish without too much risk. It is necessary to go there quietly that a few individuals at a time, the bacterial colonies are still very young and would not be enough for the task if too many fish started to pollute the tank. In our case, the introduction of axolotls which, given their size, will cause a rise in nitrites within a few days. During the entire cycle establishment period, no intervention (change of water, cleaning of the bottom and of the filtration masses) must be carried out in the tank, at the risk of considerably slowing down the process. Diagram illustrating the different stages of the nitrification cycle. The abscissa shows a graduated scale in days and the ordinate shows the concentrations in ppm (mg / L). Source: All the Aquarium, Peter Hunnam, Bordas edition, Paris 1982 ACCELERATE THE CYCLE If you have an already colonized aquarium (whose nitrogen cycle has already been completed), it is possible to add a second filter (the one that will go into the new aquarium) in the already colonized aquarium for a week so that good bacteria settle there. It is also possible to simply transfer some filter media from the already colonized filter into the new filter. It is strongly advised to add decorations and substrate from the colonized aquarium to the new one since the majority of bacteria are maintained on solid supports, and not in the water. Once you have made these changes, you can fill the tray with water and add the filter, substrate, and decorations. The water should be tested every 2/3 days thereafter. (Nitrites tell us that we still have to wait but nitrates are a good sign because they confirm that the aquarium is well run: in fact to transform nitrites into nitrates it is necessary that the nitrobacter bacteria are in place, so there is obviously already had peak of nitrites). Finally, here is a method to be used only when you have to reseed an aquarium after a treatment (after having generally changed 50% of the water in it and then filtered for 5 days on activated carbon, therefore bacteria. . A brand recommended by specialists: Biockik de Oase, (as well as three others here ) used by large aquariums in France and zoos. But just this brand because you will find a lot of them in pet stores, you will only be embarrassed Most are only perlinpinpin powder ... You can find this small jar in pet stores or on the internet for around € 9 (to treat 5000 liters). We respect the doses listed, in order to avoid the effect reverse and pollute his bin. Put your axolotls in a fairly spacious plastic garment bin type container, and with a daily change of water that will have rested for at least 24 hours in order to dechlorinate it. The ideal is therefore to have two tubs of this type to always have standing water and to change them each day. I have my axolotls but my aquarium is not finished "prowling" ... I have an important concern in my aquarium which requires that I take out my axoltols. Your monthly water changes: You must change 30% of the volume of your water to reduce the natural pollution due to an enclosed space (the aquarium) in order to evacuate the nitrates (No3) and restore a correct Ph and Gh, it is useless to rest this water during the changes the addition is so minimal that it does not bring enough chlorine into the aquarium, once diluted there is nothing. whereas in an infirmary tank with 100% water there yes it must be allowed to stand and sometimes 48 hours and sometimes put will be there because the chloramine takes 15 days to evaporate ...

Chirurgie de précision ici pour cette dendrobate, opération de haut vol. TOULOUSE NACS CLINIC Share I wanted to tell you about this clinic because a brilliant team works there: doctors Feix, Breuil and Chappe. I was amazed at their achievements. They will also know how to treat your axolotls as confirmed by Dr. Chappe. Doctor Breuil deals more specifically with amphibians and reptiles. "We do not accept that feathered, haired, or scaled NACs, amphibians are also welcome! Here is the case of a small Dendrobate (Dendrobates tinctorius azureus) which had its abdominal wall eaten by a cricket. It was therefore necessary to anesthetize and then suture this magnificent 2g animal. The calculator to establish the anesthetic dilution and the magnifying glasses proved to be invaluable allies. " Now here is another amazing operation involving an axolotl! yes, yes our dear amphibian is one of their patients: “Even amphibians can be operated on! Here is an Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) who had an enterectomy (removal of part of the intestine) this week at the clinic. perforated the abdominal wall and intestines! " Examination out of water under anesthesia and with irrigation of the gills. He was anesthetized exactly like a fish in a bath and then drip on the gills (with Isoflurane in the water). the post op is complicated and the cat's claws respect their reputation a septicaemic phenomenon takes place making the prognosis grim despite the antibiotic therapy put in place "(The outcome was unfortunately fatal for this axolotl who succumbed to superinfection, hollow cat claws retaining all bacteria). "Small video showing our small assembly for the anesthesia of a fish. A tube allows to bring a continuous flow of water directly into its mouth. Thus the gills are always wet with an emerged fish. The anesthetic is not other than a gas which is dissolved in this water. And voila! " https://www.facebook.com/cliniquenactoulouse/videos/382123358644306/ This wild Green Tree Frog (Hyla arborea) was presented to us for consultation by the owner of the cat who attacked her. She presented with an open femur fracture and a closed metatarsal fracture. Since this little tree frog was willing to feed in captivity, the surgical decision was made. Indeed, the amputation being essential, it could not be released. We were still able to place a wire in the fractured metatarsal. A few months later, his protector called us to inform us of his very good health!
