My new axies and their home :o)

[Clairey Beary]

Good day everybody. I went along to a pet shop near where i live yesterday hoping they would have axolotls in stock but only went to buy some plants. But lo and behold, what did they have in stock..... 4 cute lil juvie axies (2 leucistic and 2 wildtype). Well I just had to have them!!! My tank had been cycled for a week or 2 so I bought one of each colour. Luckily they were sexually mature and could tell which were males. So I got 2 males and now i'm as happy as Larry!!! Hehe. I got so excited i actually cried. I got some pics of them but the wildtype keeps hiding behind the plants so dont yet have a pic of him. I have plenty of the Leucistic.

I have named them both. The wildtype is called Cleveland and leucistic has been named Tobias. The pet shop owner said he was hopefully getting some golden albino's in stock over the next few weeks so should have another little devil then. Here are 2 pics i've taken, one of the tank set up and one of Tobias. There will be more pics to come, esp. of little Cleveland )

Thank you both for your lovely comments. I am very thrilled indeed. It's been so long since I had my last axies. I cant wait to get more pics up of them both. Thats if Cleveland decides to come out from the plant at the back of the tank. Haha bless him.

Claire :happy:
