Hello!

Hi I just signed up because I noticed you have a lotl board, not many places do and it bugs me!

Anyway, I have Xanthanistic(Lexi) and Melanoid(Simon) axolotls!
Unfortunatly I dont really have any good pictures of simon, but here is some...

Nice looking axolotls!

Simon (the dark one) is a wildtype rather than melanoid.

See: http://www.axolotl.org/genetics.htm

Oh thats cool
I am not sure of there sexes at the moment...i've heard there notorusily (Sorry its 4am, i cant spell) difficult to sex, I think Lexi is female but i am unsure on simon.

If you check out the following link, it will give you an idea of sexing your axolotls:

Oh i've already looked there, many times, I just think that Simon appears to be a bit younger, so is a bit harder...I have a feeling he is a she(I am saying he anyway! XD) but wil lwait till he or she gets older before i come to a final conclusion, Thank you for the link anyway. This site has been VERY helpful to me and without it i wouldnt have my axolotls

Don't worry about it too much - one of our males was a late developer compared to the others and he was in a tank with 4 females (we had him classed as a female!) Only realised after spotting him leaving more spermatophore all over the place but too late and couple of hundred eggs later...

Oh hehe, I'd love my axolotls to have eggs...Just love it! I dont know if I'd be able to cope, or be able to afford the new tank for the space they need, but i'd love to do it anyway :smile:

You've got a wildtype and a golden albino.

As long as you don't try to raise too many eggs, breeding them is fun. But don't try to raise all the eggs they lay. A big female can lay 1000+ eggs.
