Axolotl for beginners

1x1 guide for appropriate keeping, care and feeding in the aquarium incl. interesting facts

If you look closely at the axolotl, at first you don't know what to think of it. Is he a fish or is he a snake? Is he a reptile or is he an amphibian? On the one hand it looks cute, on the other hand it is also a bit scary. He gives the impression that he wants to resemble a monster-like tadpole. He is also a nocturnal roommate who searches for his prey in the dark. You don't really trust him to do that, because his pink branches make him look friendly.
