How fast do axolotls grow?

Axolotls grow at different rates depending on their age and environment. Generally, they grow rapidly during the first few months of their lives, adding about 1 inch per month. After reaching sexual maturity, their growth slows down considerably. On average, adult axolotls can grow up to 12 inches in length.

Environmental factors such as water temperature and food availability can also influence their growth rate. Warmer water temperatures may lead to faster growth, while cooler temperatures may slow it down. An adequate diet rich in nutrients is essential for optimal growth and development.
