Axolotls eat worms, insects, small fish, and just about anything else that can fit inside their mouth and swallow whole, including other salamanders. In the lab, axolotls are fed brine shrimp, California blackworms (Lumbriculus varigatus), and salmon pellets.
Can axolotls be kept with fish?
They should not be kept with other species as axolotls might try to eat pet fish, and the fish sometimes nip at them, as well. You even should be cautious about housing them with other axolotls. Juvenile axolotls can be cannibalistic toward one another, so they are best raised in separate enclosures.
What kind of fish can my axolotl eat?
- Guppies or other subspecies of guppies,
- Mollies,
- Goldfish (they should be vetted so they are without parasites)
- Other smaller and slow-moving fish.
