You can’t tame it without the tides of fortune dlc
Tidepup
The Tidepup is an axolotl-like amphibian companion for ARK: Survival Ascended, introduced with Bob's True Tales: Tides of Fortune alongside Genesis: Part 1. It can stay perched on your shoulder or grow into a larger form with a potent set of unique abilities. Time at your side shapes it, and the way you raise it and lean on it under pressure can steer how it evolves. When it finally falters, it may retreat into a dormant state and return reformed, blurring the line between defeat and survival.

To get it to heal, just get rare mushrooms, stand somewhere warm and eat a mushroom everytime the little plus signs are full. Resets the heal cooldown and your good to go.

easiest way to tame a Tidepup is just to bring a small dino that you can safely injure a little, walk it over to the Tidepup, and let the little guy heal it.

It’s super low‑stress since the Tidepup doesn’t get aggressive or anything, so you can take your time and just cycle the heal → rest → heal loop until it’s yours.
You can indeed tame these by using your own health instead of a tame’s; starvation is the most effective method I’ve found so far, as it will heal you for a small amount, nap, wake, and be ready to heal you again by the time you naturally get below ten percent of your…
You can indeed tame these by using your own health instead of a tame’s; starvation is the most effective method I’ve found so far, as it will heal you for a small amount, nap, wake, and be ready to heal you again by the time you naturally get below ten percent of your maximum health bar due to continued starvation.
They are easier to separate for me with a wooden cage. I plop one down and try to get the high lvl one in and once thats in and trapped, i can kill the others. Leave aggro range and come back and its ready to go.

I use a campfire and burn myself down low hp to activate it. It screams and heals me and i can open the cage, feed, close the gate. Rinse and repeat easy peasy.
