Will Axolotls Eat Fish? 

Yes, axolotls will eat fish, particularly small or slow-moving ones that they can easily catch. As carnivorous and opportunistic feeders, axolotls rely on their suction feeding mechanism to consume prey, which in their natural habitat includes small aquatic organisms such as worms, insects, and tiny fish.

They are more likely to eat fish that are smaller than their mouths, as larger or fast-moving fish are harder to capture. Slow-moving or bottom-dwelling fish are especially vulnerable, while aggressive fish can pose a threat to axolotls by nipping at their gills or fins.

If you plan to keep axolotls with fish, it is crucial to select non-aggressive species that are too large to be seen as prey and unlikely to harm the axolotl. To ensure a harmonious environment, it is often best to avoid housing axolotls with fish altogether unless carefully chosen.
