My two beauties in their juvenile tank. Another few weeks and they can be moved into the big tank

I can't wait to get better pictures, I'm so proud of these little ones. :tongue:

I've had to crop the images as the site wasn't letting me upload them, but at least I can finally show off my babies!

Re: Rey & Kai!

So cute.

Awe they're so cute!

The irridophores are beautiful!

Re: Rey & Kai!

They're stunning, aren't they! They look like they have diamond dust sprinkled on them

Some more photo's of Rey & Kai, because you can NEVER have enough pictures of cute axolotls

auntiejude · May 28, 2016

They look really happy!

AmberLouiseT · May 29, 2016

Thanks!

I'm hoping that in a month or so, I'll be able to look back at these pictures and notice a difference in their size.

I'm keeping a journal of how many worm pieces they each eat daily, and I'm amazed at how much these little ones can put away

I'm also amazed at how much poop they can pop out LOL

Messy babies.

They're awesome! Totally diggin the golden's gils, being all shiny.

AmberLouiseT · May 30, 2016

Thank you, Rey does have incredibly shiny gills. Kai also has some shimmer but funnily enough - it's mainly on his tummy!

They're both equally gorgeous

auntiejude · May 30, 2016

Kai is the perfect example of what a leucisitc albino looks like - you can see the iridopohores in the eyes and gills really well. The ones on the tummy will fade as he gets older, but the others will stay.

AmberLouiseT · May 30, 2016

AuntieJude - Kai's top right gill stalk is shorter than his others - it's re-growing and I can see the little "feathers" developing each day. Do you think it's causing him any discomfort?

Aw, I can't wait to see them both grow up! Will Rey's iridophores change at all? As in, spread out over her body as she grows?

Kai's got a few tiny iridophore flecks on his tail too, they're beautiful!

Salazar · May 30, 2016

They are very pretty! I like how cute their faces are

AmberLouiseT · Jun 1, 2016

These two never cease to amaze me with their silly antics

AmberLouiseT · Jun 1, 2016

Some more pictures of my crazy little ones.

Waiting for some new hides/plastic plants to turn up so I can change their scenery a bit, just to keep them stimulated and encourage them to explore

Have got some live Java Ferns to put in but discovered they're covered in snail eggs

so I'll have to deal with that before introducing live plants to the tank.

Not all gills will be identical - it just adds 'character' when they're a little uneven. It probably got nipped at some point, it won't be bothering him if its healing.

Iridophore patterns change as they grow, you'll just have to wait and see...

Glad that it won't be bothering him

I think his short gills are adorable

That peek-a-boo picture made me chuckle, it's just so cute. :happy:

AmberLouiseT · Jun 3, 2016

I must admit, the peek-a-boo picture is my absolute favourite! It's my background on my laptop, never fails to make me smile

Both Kai & Rey are doing great, eating lots and pooping up a storm

I've had to frantically search online for a new tank for my little ones to upgrade to in future. The "big" tank that they were meant to be upgraded to in a few weeks has now got several goldfish living in it, as their tank got damaged when my mum took a fall

Sadly, Kai & Rey will be in this 'juvenile' tank for a few extra weeks. I'm not happy about it, but I can't blame my disabled Mother for falling over and damaging her goldfish tank, and I know the juvenile tank has plenty of space for my babies to live comfortably for a while.

At least I can use the filter media from the cycled tank to help seed the new tank. I suppose that's my silver lining

Donna001 · Jun 3, 2016

Beautiful photos. :happy:

I'm sorry to hear that your Mum had a fall and I hope that she has not injured herself.

AmberLouiseT · Jun 7, 2016

A few more pictures of my beautiful babies!
I can't believe how well they're doing

Donna001 · Jun 7, 2016

Great pictures. :happy:
Axolotls are just so adorable, and your two are perfect examples.
