What do axolotls eat in Minecraft?
Axolotls are an aquatic animal and feed on tropical fish. Tropical fish are a type of fish found in the game’s oceans and warm sea biomes.


While tropical fish can be caught with a fishing rod, players will need a bucket of tropical fish to feed an axolotl. Therefore, craft a bucket and click on the water block with tropical fish to catch a bunch. What is less well known is that players can also find it from a traveling merchant for an emerald.
Feed the axolotl by taking out the bucket of tropical fish in its main hand and clicking on the axolotl. The axolotl can also be bred with tropical fish.
