My new 'lotls

[pent565]

Introducing my new four, I'm still playing around with names. Anyone have any thoughts? I'm thinking Ophelia and Hamlet, for my two leucistic, Merlin for my GFP (Morgana if female), and so far my melanoid is known as "Stubby". Needless to say, his former tank mates were not kind.

I hope the pics attached right; if they did, don't mind the messiness of the gfp's tank, I'm siphoning it off bit by bit. Its pond silt, not waste, as the tank previously held yellow spotted salamander larvae.
The melanoid is in a temporary mesh breeder trap, while his tank cycles, so you can't see him very well, or how he came by his name.

I'd really like to know what people think of the adult's gills; do they look ok? I'm afraid they might be a little tattered looking. They came like that...

hmm, I think only three of the pics attached... lets try the others? Oh, and the GFP is also Wildtype. My camera isn't the best for this kind of pic, they always come out grainy.

Their all awesome looking little fellows, I love the very first pic. I also love the name Ophelia.

The one mentioned, the first pic, his gills do look a little tattered, and is the second on the left missing a front leg or is it in motion?

They look good and tubby though!

All the adults limbs are intact. Its probably the angle of the pic. The same individual is in the first pic, the tubby one in the solo shot.
I'm not sure whats wrong with the gills, or why they're like that. Both babies have perfect gills. In some places, the adults gills are kinked, like they broke and re-healed crooked, and one of the male's is a stub compared to the others.

What can cause gill damage like that?
