darkangel Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) I have a axolotl that is about 7" long, From day one this guy/girl/it has not eaten anything except NLS & shrimp pellets. I've had guppies, mollies, swordtails, white clouds, and krib fry in with this guy in the past and all have survived. There is 14 white clouds and 3 cories in the tank with it now, The cories are a bit small so they may become lunch. What other tank mates may be possible for a clean up crew, I do know that none are recamended, but there has been tank mates in the past with no casualties. Tank is 25 gal heavily planted low-med light (2.5wpg) with fine sand substrate and hidy holes for all occupants. Any suggestions will be appreciated and studied before a choice is made.

bottomdweller_fan Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 My husband has an 11" axolotl and a 6" axolotl in with an apple snail and a couple of japanese trap door snails. Neither axolotl has ever bothered the snails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither axolotl has ever bothered the snails. Is the 6 incher the one he got at the auction after the caoac show? I know the apple snails eat plants, do the japanese trap door snails munch on plants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is a natural color (so kind of greenish). Japanese trap doors don't eat plants but need lots of algae to survive and thrive.

thegrandpoohbah Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Pomacea bridgesii applesnails do NOT eat healthy plants. As a bonus, they also come in a wide variety of nice colours and do an excellent job of cleaning algae and leftover food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
