New tanks

[xxianxx]

Some of my new tanks

melanoid albino, leucistic and melanoid tanks

Wildtype tank, stocking density is a bit high, one of the tanks had an ammonia spike so I had to pull the axolotls

Homemade filter with hungry axolotls

 

[snuggly time]

Is that in your house? I love the home made filter, great idea.

So much space! Oh how I envy you!! Love your setups as well.

The tanks are in a 400 sq ft commercial unit which I am hiring to breed amphibians in, I ran out of space in my house and my wife has threatened me with violence if I turn up with any more tanks.

It was expensive and I will be selling axolotls as soon as I receive my pet shop licence which will be issued as soon as a fire extinguisher turns up.

Can I just... come and spend an afternoon sketching them all?

Serious tank envy. I don't even have a tank yet. (I do wish I lived nearer Wales; there seems to be awesome breeders there!)

This is a breeding unit rather than a shop, I will mainly be supplying trade rather than the public so it will not be manned all the time, I will be visiting everyday for a couple of hours. I just need a pet shop licence to breed and sell animals commercially. You are more than welcome to come and visit with a sketch pad but you had better bring some cash to buy an axolotl or two lol , I also have some nice preowned tanks in mint condition available at half retail price.

Haha, I was kidding. It's a bit hard for me to get to Wales. (Student budget. I could hitch a lift with my sister, but I don't know what I'd do the rest of the time!) I figured that would be the case. And it's awesome that you're setting up to sell to pet shops.

Aaah, healthy and safety bureaucracy! I hope the hydrant doesn't take long to arrive. (And I hope the axolotls pay for their nice new boarding facilities!)

Sounds good! Your have to keep us updated i would be interested to acquire some axolotls when your all setup

Jealous. So jealous.

Good luck with the business. Keep the pictures coming, so I can drool over your space some more.

Looking great Ian! Best of luck with your venture and I'm sure you'll have plenty of repeat business when they see the quality of your axolotls.


Regards Neil

Great set up Ian.
So are you splitting up collection or will it eventually be all moved to your unit. Good luck with it.

I am not planning on heating that unit so I will be keeping some of my species at my home mainly acf, adf , T.verrucosus, dart frogs and some of the smaller larvae. I am planning on a shed upgrade to allow me some more space and a greenhouse setup for my bannded newts.

Best of luck
