Among the many tameable critters introduced in the Caves and Cliffs Update Part I, the axolotl has an appeal all on its own.
Axolotls are one of only two friendly aquatic animals in Minecraft (alongside dolphins) and are the only tameable underwater mob.
If you’re going to tame and capture an axolotl, you’re going to need to know all the particulars about its diet. So, read on to find the answer to the question: what do Axolotls eat in Minecraft?
What do Axolotls Eat in Minecraft?
Axolotls only eat Tropical Fish, the many-colored species of fish found in the Ocean and Warm Ocean biomes in Minecraft.
Note that even though Tropical Fish can be caught using a Fishing Rod, Axolotl’s will only eat bucketfuls of Tropical Fish.
That means you’ll have to catch fishes by pulling out a bucket and clicking on the block of water with Tropical Fish in it.
If you come across a wandering trader in your travels, you can purchase buckets of fish from them.
Feeding your Axolotl is as simple as equipping your Bucket of Tropical Fish and clicking on your Axolotl pal.
Tropical fish are apparently an effective aphrodisiac since you can also use them to get Axolotls to breed.
