Quiksilver and Wee-Man

Just thought I'd share my happy family with the world.

The one on the left is Wee-Man (Who could well be female, we just haven't managed to work it out yet), and on the right is Quiksilver (Again still not sure on the gender). We've had Quiksilver just over a year now and Wee-Man we got just before Christmas.
They live happily together and Quiksilver was more than happy to have a friend. They don't interact together too much, but they don't fight at all.
Wee-Man is the 3 fingered freak, and Quiksilver is the TV watching poser and loves the camera.
Anyways... this site is awesome and it's great to finally be able to talk to other people about axolotls without getting the response of "axo-what?"!
 
I love the coloring on Quicksilvers gills!

Good looking axolotls

Welcome to the forum.
 
i was just about to say the same about quicksilvers gills Cynthia! lol. they are absoloutely gorgeous! and yeah qucksilver looks like a definate poser!!! my 2 are posers too! bless them!
you say wee-man is a 3 fingered freak...i see on 'his' back legs he only has 4 toes instead of 5! wow freak axies are cool! my female has an extra toe on one of her front feet and a toe growing out the side of another toe on one her back feet! bless!
 
Wee-Man has 5 toes, the other one is just hiding in the sand.
No idea why Quiksilvers gills are the colour they are. He started off the same as Wee-Man, and just got the blueness as he got older and bigger. Quiksilvers gills go even redder if I give him the occasional treat of calves liver.
 
oh sorry for the mistake.

Hey Selena, you've done well. Really nice colour combo. I love the white leucistics, they change shade every time you look at them (well, almost).

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
