How did you get yours?

[Ariel1223]

Hi, I was just curious as to how everyone got their first, or current Axolotl? We got ours who is a wild type from a kiosk at the mall where he/ she was marketed as a baby dinosaur. We have a special needs 3 year old who loves Dino's and I thought, hey what the hell it's like a fish right? WRONG! We have had " fluffy" for about a month and from this site learned how to care for it. He is in a 10 gal tank with a charcoal filter, plant hidey holes, large river rock bottom, small air pump and seems so happy. My husband thought it was a little odd we got something so exotic from a mall kiosk, so I want to ask where did you get your little friends? By the way, we are so glad we got him! (( always looking for pointers to make his life happier though so feel free to give some))

I have a friend who had 4 axolotls and he mentioned that they sometimes laid eggs, but the tadpoles all died. I rather rashly said "I bet I could keep them alive! Let me know when you have more eggs."
Anyway, a week later, the eggs were laid... and now 24 of the batch have grown into 3 inch plus juvies. I've still got six at home!

My first axi came from a friend that was actually a member here. i started out with an albino then added a pink then wild and finally a brown melanoid. i moved to a hotter climate and two passed in the move itself . I'm eventually going to add more to the family!
