ABOUT LITTLE LOTL'S

Little Lotl’s is an Australian online aquarium and aquatic pet supply store based in Cranbourne East, Victoria 3977. We specialise in axolotl care, freshwater aquarium products, aquatic livestock support, and species-appropriate supplies for axolotls, guppies, freshwater shrimp, aquarium snails, and freshwater hobbyists across Australia.

​

Our store operates within the aquarium, aquaculture, freshwater pet, and exotic aquatic animal care industry. We provide reliable aquarium equipment, safe water-treatment products, live aquarium plants, premium foods, and practical care information for keepers who want healthy, stable, and species-appropriate aquatic environments.

​

Little Lotl’s is not a children’s store, toy shop, gift boutique, novelty retailer, or general merchandise shop. We do not sell children’s clothing, plush toys, home décor, or unrelated gift products.

Where Our Story Began

​

Little Lotl’s began with a genuine interest in axolotls and the specialised care needs of sensitive freshwater species.

​

Axolotls are fascinating animals, but they require more than a basic aquarium setup.

As our experience grew, we saw a clear need in the Australian aquarium market for a store focused on accurate care advice, species-safe products, and practical support for axolotl keepers.

​

We created Little Lotl’s to give Australian hobbyists a dependable place to access aquarium supplies, axolotl care products, freshwater livestock support, and easy-to-understand guidance backed by real aquarium experience.

​

To help keepers create safe, healthy, stable freshwater environments for the animals in their care.

Axolotl Care Specialists in Australia

​

Little Lotl’s is especially focused on axolotl care.

​

Axolotls are unique aquatic amphibians with specific care requirements. They need clean, cool, cycled water, safe tank layouts, gentle filtration, appropriate nutrition, and regular water testing.

​

  • Cycling an axolotl tank

  • Ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate

  • pH, GH, and KH

  • Safe water parameters

  • Axolotl feeding

  • Tank setup

  • Filtration

  • Cooling

  • Substrate safety

  • Plant choices

  • Common health concerns

  • Juvenile and adult axolotl care

 

Our recommended axolotl water parameters are:

​

Temperature: 14°C to 18°C
pH: 7.2 to 8.2
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: Less than 20 ppm
GH: 7 to 14 dGH
KH: 4 to 8 dKH

​

We believe clear, practical education helps prevent common problems and gives axolotls the best chance to thrive.
