    Axolotls are carnivorous amphibians found in Lake Xochimilco and nearby canals in Mexico City. They can grow up to 12 inches long and weigh between 2-8 ounces. In the wild, axolotls have an average lifespan of 10-15 years. They eat small fish, worms, insects, and other salamanders. In captivity, they are commonly fed brine shrimp, blackworms, and salmon pellets. Proper axolotl care involves maintaining temperatures between 63-68 degrees Fahrenheit, providing at least 20 gallons of water per axolotl, and feeding them twice daily.
