What should i do and should i put lighting in his new tank? No

What about a Tank light?

Water Dragons (Axolotls) do not need a tank light. We recommended that you do not use a tank light because it could be a possible source of heat. Also Water Dragons do not like bright lights. Make sure that your tank will not have any direct sun light through out the day. Also do not use any black light or UV light for long periods of time because it could damage your eyesight of your Water Dragons.

What is the best food to feed a Water Dragon?

1) Live – Rosy Minnows, Californian Black Worms, Red Wiggler Worms, then 2) Frozen Blood Worms, then 3) Water Dragon (Axolotl) Pellets. Use Water Dragons Pellets when you run out of live food or frozen.

You can buy Rosy Minnows at Petsmart for about 13 cents each. Before you feed Rosy Minnows you need to drain all the water from the bag because it may be contaminated with bacteria. You should put the minnows is a separate tank for 1 day and do a 30% water change. When feeding Rosy Minnows you need to lower the tank water level to be about 1 inch above your Water Dragon’s head. This will allow him to reach the feeder fish. It is important that the feeder fish are smaller than your Water Dragon’s mouth. Also make sure that you buy healthy Rosy Minnows that are not sick. If a minnow is sick, take it out so that it cannot be eaten. Rosy Minnows are a great food source for an Adult Water Dragon (Axolotl).

When feeding earthworms you need to chop them up into bite size portions. Any leftover food needs to be removed after 24 hours to prevent bacteria in your tank. You can remove the uneaten food with a net or siphon it out by using a 1/4 inch tubing about 4 ft long that you can buy at Homedepot or any other home center.

Does a Water Dragon (Axolotl) dislike fast moving water?

Yes Water Dragons (Axolotls) do not like fast moving water (water currents). This will cause stress to your Water Dragons (Axolotls) and you will see evidence of this stress when your Water Dragon Tail starts to Curl.
