Introducing Benvolio...

[FiJi]

My first axolotl! Although it doesn't seem to have reached sexual maturity yet, I'm referring to it as "he", and have named him Benvolio.
I did extensive research on axolotls, (mainly on this site, as well as a couple of others) before purchasing him, so my parents had absolutely no excuses to say "no" - especially as it was all my own money.
He seems to enjoy posing for the camera, and climbing about in the plants behind his cave. Definately getting a second one as soon as possible.

Have a couple of other pictures in my own album if anybody feels particularly bored and has looked at everything else on the site and has nothing else to do

Very nice - I really like the gray stones too, though they look like they'll be a pain to clean under .

Hey, thanks, I took a look at your profile, you've got some really great pictures of your axolotl.
Yeah it does get a little messy under there, but I'm as thorough as necessary - and I think the way they make him stand out is pretty funky too.
How's teh weather down in Nottingham? I just got back from a mini-break there on Monday, is it still pouring rain? It made going out a bit of a pain!

You're right, they made a really cool backdrop for him :happy:.

I am planning on getting some cherry shrimp for my tank, as hopefully, as well as being an incentive for my little hunter, they will also assist me in getting rid of the gunk that collects under all the stones and hides. I bought some shrimp a while back, but it turned out they were "feeder fish" and so didn't last the quarantine period .

It is absolutely chucking it down - there's not even puddles, the whole floor is like one big puddle...hope it stops by Friday as I have a night out planned .

Where did you go in Notts?

That couldn't have been
I just did the touristy things - caves at the Broadmarsh center, and the galleries of justice (rocked), didn't have time to go to the castle, though my uncle says I missed the best part.
Did you have your night out then?
