Overview
Deluxe exhibit animal, not an aquarium inference
Axolotl is a Deluxe record. The official habitat filter is Exhibit, with Lakes and Rivers as its biome and North America as its continent. Its aquatic biology does not justify relabeling the game record as Aquarium.
What the official description adds
The official overview describes a freshwater amphibian from Mexico with persistent external gills and explains the conservation problems facing its remaining wild habitat. These observations can support exhibit interpretation. They do not establish the sequel's exhibit temperature, humidity, capacity, breeding intervals or filter settings. Read the official species entry.
Use the exhibit classification for this freshwater amphibian
- Check Deluxe access and select the Exhibit home system. Axolotl's aquatic biology does not authorize moving this record into the Aquarium category.
- Inspect the exhibit's actual species-care controls before choosing its final presentation. Do not copy an aquarium salinity, filter or swimming-volume recipe solely because the scene contains water.
- Keep the guest view and service arrangement clear. Use a water-and-vegetation theme to explain the species' natural setting, while checking whether each functional resource belongs to the selected exhibit system.
- If breeding is your goal, read the exact species' reproductive requirements. Real external gills or freshwater biology do not supply the simulated capacity, temperature or breeding interval.
Avoid crossing the wrong housing boundary
| Concern | Check | Design response |
|---|---|---|
| The animal is aquatic but the chosen home is a tank | Official Exhibit classification | Return to the exhibit setup rather than inferring Aquarium support |
| An Aquarium/Exhibit species is used as a comparison | Axolotl has only Exhibit in this snapshot | Do not transfer a dual-tag record's options to this species |
| Care settings are unknown | The selected exhibit's actual controls and species needs | Leave temperature, capacity and any humidity value unfilled until verified |
| A realistic water scene looks complete | Supported care resources and the guest view | Distinguish decoration from functioning exhibit care |
Comparison and cohabitation
The official roster also contains animals carrying both Aquarium and Exhibit tags. Axolotl has only Exhibit in this snapshot, so do not assign it the flexibility of those dual-tag records. For any care value missing from the web source, check the installed game and leave the value unknown until verified.
Source boundary and next step
This record does not publish a numerical exhibit capacity, climate setting, feeding cost or reproductive interval. The aquatic overview explains why aquatic identity and Aquarium classification are different checks.
These are species-led planning checks using publisher classifications verified 13 October 2026, not a hands-on care test. Return to the animal database for the dated source fields and to the compatibility guide for the separate pair-evidence decision.
