Well I managed to keep my axolotl addiction to *one* axolotl for well over a year, but I caught sight of the 'Golden Albino' mutation the other week and decided that I had to have one.
So meet the latest addition to my collection The Doctor. Yup, as in Doctor Who. I gave him this name because the poor little fellow got lost in the mail! So he spent over a week traveling to all the wrong places in a little box (unfortunately his was not larger on the inside), and of course he does have amazing regenerative powers. So the name seemed appropriate.
Despite his misadventures The Doctor does not seem any worse for the wear. He was well packaged and in a 'breather bag'. However I was very nervous for him.
The Doctor is around half the size of Bluebell so for now he's living in an isolation/quarantine tub. My plan is to lower Bluebells temp to about 62 degrees and keep his at 68 and feed accordingly so that he gets a chance to catch up in size faster then they can both share the large aquarium set up.
Does anyone know what a safe size ratio is? Bluebell is about six to seven inches The Doctor is around three to four. The aquarium is a twenty gallon long. Bluebell is a luecistic (I know the wildtype are more aggressive).
I just have the one pic at the moment since it has been a long week for him.
