DrTim's Axolotl Food Sticks
A high-protein sinking stick made just for axolotls. DrTim's Axolotl Food Sticks are an easily digestible daily diet built for axolotls, newts, and other aquatic salamanders. The sticks sink quickly so your axolotl can hunt them off the bottom the way it feeds in nature, and a unique blend of animal and plant proteins delivers the complete nutrition a growing or adult axolotl needs.
Keeping an axolotl? Pair these sticks with the right water care, then browse the rest of our fish food for the whole tank.
Why These Sticks
- High-protein formula from a unique mix of animal and plant proteins, matched to a carnivorous axolotl's needs.
- Sinking sticks that drop to the bottom where axolotls naturally forage.
- Easily digestible, which helps cut waste and keep tank water cleaner.
- For every life stage, from juvenile through adult axolotls, newts, and salamanders.
- Made in the USA by DrTim's Aquatics.
How to Feed
Feed as many sticks as your axolotl will eat within a few minutes. Growing juveniles do well fed daily, while most adults are fed every 2 to 3 days. Remove any uneaten sticks after 12 hours so they do not foul the water. Axolotls stay healthiest in cool, clean, well filtered freshwater, so pair feeding with regular water changes.
