Black sand can cause micro cuts on their skin which can lead to infection! I used to have black sand with mine as well but quickly changed it after learning this. The best sand to use is CaribSea super naturals moonlight. It’s super fine so you can see their foot prints and trails and safe for them!
When you're making an aquascape, it's usually important to replicate a natural environment for the animal(s). An artificial one isn't really going to hurt the fish, but also in the case of an axolotl, where it's endangered, it might be a better idea to make the tank more natural. But the most important thing of course is making sure you take excellent care of the animal. I love the video!
wild axolotls are functionally extinct. pet axolotls are very very genetically different from wild axolotls and are not endangered at all as they’re incredibly popular in the pet trade
@@hooktraining3966 sure, but current pet axolotls mostly come from a group that was brought to france in the 1800s and bred in captivity. then a few decades ago some captive lotls were crossbred with tiger salamanders to increase the genetic diversity, so they’re not entirely the same as wild axolotls
I like the conservation message from this channel. Education is so important to promote responsible owners, and to not upset natural ecosystems. Other animals that there are more of in captivity vs wild is red wolves, and the Mexican grey wolf.
I have a live planted axolotl tank with Neocaridina shrimp and neon tetra fish. The axolotl can catch fish or shrimps but providing plenty of space at the rate they breed works perfectly in my experience. I just changed the substrates from fine sand to fluval stratum now that my axie is larger and i’m pretty sure won’t eat the rocks much at all. I had to hang rocks in my aquarium avatar style to create middle ground hides for the fish or else the axolotl eats them all.
It always struck me as fascinating that axolotls can live in Xochimilco, which is one of the most polluted waterways in the world, but yet if you take them out of Xochimilco they have to be super cared for or they will die.
I have a tip: if you feed harry live food like for example worms then replace the substrate with lego baseplates. You read that right. It gives them something to grip onto so they don’t slip
Gils are in terrible condition he's practically ready to leave and morph into a salamander, that specific brand of black substrate is harmful to their skin, the lights aren't good for their low eyesight and can be harmful, and the biggest offender here is that Axolotls don't need to go to the surface for air, they can breathe perfectly fine underwater, this much movement and swimming to the surface shows that there is not enough oxygen in the tank
ok so im not going to claim to know anything about water but i do know that fans just blow air around and it doesnt affect the temperature. its possible that your house's thermostat is set to 75-76, but that particular room isnt doing a good job with trapping cool/hot air so just in case i would get a chiller since i heard chicago can get pretty hot
I loved this! Your mum is gorgeous and so is Hairy. Love the tank but the bridge needs to go. There needs to be just a little more room for H so the bridge is not right. ❤
That tank has too much light and too much current... Axolotls require almost no light because they can't blink and extremely low current because higher current damages their gill fibers. He should also have something to help the water stay below 65 degrees f.
As a Mexican, I need to clarify that we do not call the axoltl “asholtl.” It’s actually “ajolote,” it’s pronounced as it’s read, love the video and actually surprised you have one of the ‘new-ish’ 50 pesos bill! Fun video and love the dichotomy of your parents on screen. Cheers!
@@slayer3471 no problem man! I should've elaborated on that. When read in English it would be pronounced as (aholote). It's not a j as in "Juliet," it's pronounced as an h in "hello." Hope that answers your question
You actually are supposed to make sure that there is an area in the tank without sand. Axolotls use suction to eat their food and they could accidentally eat sand or rocks, so make sure you use big rocks or only cover half of the tank with sand. That’s what I do
You also should NEVER use a black light or blue led light or really any bright lights because it can hurt their eyes. They are sensitive to bright lights and are nocturnal
So, an axolotl, like a dog, will eat anything. One of my dogs ate bark chips, pun not intended, but perfect. Fortunately, a friend’s child bounced Bee Bop and she barfed them up.
Keeping an axolotl happy is a task forsure but if you stay on top of water temp and parameters, water changes and a healthy diet its easy sailing... Ours was healthy never got any rot or fungus infections. But had to re-home him after a year due to moving. Miss my little dude 😢

Oh no!
That’s bad i hope that doesn’t happen 😢
I hope that doesn’t happen to because I am like a big big big fan of axolotl’s. I have a Halloween costume of one.
Oh no that’s bad
Thanks for this comment! Amphibians have very sensitive skin
Your moms passion on the precise placement is meeeeeeeeee
"The bridge is a problem" 😭😭😭
I wouldn’t have been able to leave the bridge there. No way. No how.
"You may not like harry, but you still have to pay his electric bill"! 😂
That's the same size tank as mine but might have a snake in it that's very mean hey baby boy
😂😂
@@CatherineDenoon heh heh
the way he said "unfortunately i do!" poor harry. he's listening from a metre away. 🥺

I love George's dad, he's hilarious 😂
I hav 2 axelotels❤😊

It’s also how you keep endangered species alive
I like his dad, he is very funny lol and W aquarium
Love his new digs, my favorite story is Lord of the Rings, so I hope Harry enjoys his new space. Great job, thanks for taking us along.❤️👍
george's dad is simply hilarious haha the moustache, the little glasses and the accent... god bless america
Hobbit house in the middle was deff the way to go
Fr like why'd they move it😭
bc the bridge looked misplaced
It looked awful in the middle of
ummm is the ecosystem in the room with us?
Knew it was going to be just an aquascape and probably riding on the coattails of those channels that make miniature systems
i know right? thats what im thinking too
Harry is EVERYTHING !! He looks so happy in his new home ❤
I love your mom so much, she is so invested and has a lot of love for harry for sure

well because he is hairy”

Lego has on their website that their pieces shouldn’t be used in aquariums unfortunately because the plastic leaches toxins.
Tip do *NOT* do this it can cut the axolotl
@@Geeohh330 how can lego baseplates cut the Axolotl if they are smooth hard plastic surfaces covering the entire bottom??
Calling this an ecosystem is just flat out criminal
I really thought there was going to be natural plantings and other animals for Harry to eat / clean his space.
@@micheleegan9146Right? This is just sad for me to look at and also sad for the Animal to live in

I was thinking his gills and his coloration looked kind of bad. :/
i love it when George's mom or dad tag along for the vid ♥
You need smooth rocks so the axolotl do not get cut because they are very fragile
I love the hobbit tank. Thanks for sharing information on axolotls.
George's mom is such a lovely lady, always glad to see her in his videi :)
Nice to see people still care about axolotls
Buy him a girlfriend
Yes, if you buy one, you will get more axolotl because it will have babies😂
Yeah
He needs a girlfriend
Lil bro is a little rizzy
Do NOT buy him a girlfriend
your parents are so wholesome
I love axolotls
Yeeey, I was getting worried when you didn't post lately! Hope you and your family are OK ❤
Ya he looks so big in their doesn't he. And he is just so cute isn't he.
I think these guys are cool, I had african clawed frogs as a kid which were easier to take care of temperature and water doesnt matter as much
You need a bigger tank for all that stuff!
ok so im not going to claim to know anything about water but i do know that fans just blow air around and it doesnt affect the temperature. its possible that your house's thermostat is set to 75-76, but that particular room isnt doing a good job with trapping cool/hot air so just in case i would get a chiller since i heard chicago can get pretty hot
It affects the water temperature by rising the level of evaporation. The evaporation is what actually decrease the temperature
This isn't even on your desk, I still hope Harry loves his new home
Your dad is funny man. he should do stand up.
I loved this! Your mum is gorgeous and so is Hairy. Love the tank but the bridge needs to go. There needs to be just a little more room for H so the bridge is not right. ❤
The bubbler by the bridge looks like a waterfall 🥰
You're parents are incredible! ❤❤❤
You can't even hear my chiller running and it doesn't run that long maybe a couple hours a day best investment for a axolotl tank
Where is the best buy for one ? What kind and brand name of chiller?
Awww! Looks like Harry likes his new home!
Your care and love for Harry is beautiful!
Go Harry !! ❤
Thank you for informing about how they are endangered and they only come from this one lake in Mexico. 🇲🇽 🙏🏽
A beautiful animal.
A true God.
I really appreciate your videos because I actually learn, it’s not just madness and random chaos 👏🏼
Your mom is so intelligent caring I love her!!
I love the axolotl!!!
Dude I learned about the Aztecs in my history class and finding out that harry is like a god is really cool
I like harry color it's so cool
muhteşem çalışma broo.. adamsın :)
That tank has too much light and too much current... Axolotls require almost no light because they can't blink and extremely low current because higher current damages their gill fibers. He should also have something to help the water stay below 65 degrees f.
Isnt that only an RO system not an RODI system? Not good for reef tanks
I loved the conflicting ideas lol. I liked them both. But I like the final version more.
I like the dad 😂
youll install a reverse osmosis water system in your house but not a chiller got ittttt
The RO comoany GAVE them the equipment. They have ti pay for a chiller...
Try and keep up
Thank you for making my day with this video. This is the sweetest thing
Hes so... Cute ❤😂
I LOVE AXOLOTL'S THERE THE BEST
Fine sand isn't any better😂 if they swallow enough of it they can become compacted and can die 😅 but the set up is cute
My name is George to once I saw your channel I laughed it was so funny to see a person with the same name as me.
It’s hilarious so much😂🎉 🎉😂🎉😂🎉🎉😂🎉🎉😂🎉😂🎉😂🎉😂🎉🎉😂🎉
Bahaha I love how Greek your Papa is ❤️❤️❤️ Love from 🇷🇺

Sorry, when you say pronounced as read, does that mean the j is silent, or is it supposed to be read in English dialect?

I’ve been watching your videos since.. who knows when, but can I just say that your mom looks great!
Thank you for making vids you are my fav youtuber

mom knows how to aquascape lmao
You also should NEVER use a black light or blue led light or really any bright lights because it can hurt their eyes. They are sensitive to bright lights and are nocturnal
You can make a chiller from a $50 compressorless mini fridge no noise uses a pisio cooler.
I love the final decision on the aquarium decoration placement!
And stop arguing with your mother! :)

The father-est father of fathers. GG. 😂😂 I think him and my father would be great friends 😂
I have that bonsai tree. It's great for sticking plants in between the branches, but the fuzzy stuff on top came off after a while.
The dad is so jealous lol harry getting more attention than him.. what a privilege. #King Harry da 1st
Looks fluoro in the right spot
I noticed that…gorgeous.
George Is a clean freak
One day when I grow up I want to live at home with mom and dad in the basement with aquariums.
I love your mom haha she sounds like me 😂😂
The lady is right on the asymmetrical layout.. looks more natural.
