Ahoj from czech axololt!

[dine]

hello! here is one of my young axolotls, i have 3 of them since about one month, 2 leucistic and 1 wild type. this leucistic is about 13 cm now, posing for the camera while waiting for some food eheh

Nice shot! He seems happy that food is coming!

 

[dine]

thanx, yop they have very good appetit :] they already grew few centimetres in one month. i hand-feed them in a second tank every second day, its keeping their home tank clean, and i can check them, photograph them and make sure each one has got his part... as soon as i put a finger in their tank, they come by themselves to climb in my hand and use it as a lift to be transported to cantine...

The cutest pic I've ever seen of an axolotl, nice job

 

[mik]

Wow great foto. Cute Axie. Are his eyes completely black - no reflective ring for an Iris?

 

[ashriel]

Are they happy to be moved into a second tank so often? Mine would throw a tanty if I did that!

 

[dine]

hi all and many thanx for your greetings :]
MIKKI: no its not completely black, just the centre is black and around its more like gold...
ASH: well i do that every second day since i have them, and they dont seem to have any problem, i guess they got in their small brain [isit possible?

] that when i come for them it means food soon...

they actually come immediately when i put a finger in water and they climb on my hand to be transfered to second tank...

My five adult axolotls are kept in simple bare trays (not filter, no gravel) and so they have to be cleaned at least twice a week. They are quite used to being transferred and don't struggle in my hand unless held for long out of the water. Most will eat within a minute or two of being transferred so they are obviously used to it.

I've noticed with animals that don't get moved much that they tend to take longer to clam down enough to eat.

 

[dine]

yes when they are used to it its not a problem, long time ago i had another axolotl who was never touched and it would have been probably difficult just with hands...
also im very calm and precautionous when i do that...

 

[dine]

some more picts...
the second photo is a natural special effect...my favorite picture

... i hope its a good prediction that at least one of the 3 is a female and will have babies!!

Aaah, I see...I only move mine if I want to do a serious clean up in their tank, usually I take out un-eaten food and do partial water changes with them still in there, as this seems to be the least stressful way for the babes, although, if they get fed after being moved...well, they like anything to do with food!
