Sunny-my first axolotl

[Blaze]

Well heres Sunny, hes my golden albino male axolotl, and he has sharp teeth haha!
Hes VERY food orientated and will leap up for anything hehe Can anyone tell me how old they think he is? Hes roughly 6 inches.

Hi,

Your axolotl is beautiful but hard to see him/her from the photos much

What camera do you have?

And i think he is about 6months-ish but im not sure so mabye dave,kaysie or kerry can help with that.

Here are my axies.

The wild-type is called miniziller.

The white with the big head is fizzle and the white with a small head is aztec.

CUTE!
I have a samsung L100 not the best haha
I will try to adjust a few things but I have asked for a good camera for my birthday as everyone knows I LOVE taking photos of my animals ^^

Hi,

I have a nikon d40x.

Its such an amazing slr!

Its easy to get used to and 10megapixels.

It also comes with a good 18-55mm dx lens!

Great value for money.

The normal d40 comes with the same lens but is 6megapixels.

 

[Blaze]

I would love a camera like that!

Sunny I am pleased to report is an absolute gem to own! Hes gottom used to the filter, eats anything I give him, is pretty active! and is very laid back. Hes been the best and is helping me get over my fish I had to put in the freezer this morning =[ VERY sad, I'd almost had him a year.... So now I only have 2 bettas and 1 axolotl but even though no fish will ever replace my little guy, i'm getting another betta, well "saving" another.

The samsung L100 is not a bad camera at all, I have a samsung L200 and am able to get good shots, all you need to do is know how to use your settings better. Also for pictures like this using your macro function is a must.
My avatar picture (on the left under my name) was taken with the L200, the salamander in the picture was just 2" long. It is just a matter of playing with the settings and taking your time to get that perfect shot ... believe me it took a few tries to get that picture.

 

[Blaze]

Wow, could you give me some instructions on how to set it up so I can take pictures PLEASEEEE hehe

This is Sunny now, hes gotton a bit chubbyer.....

also his main aim in life seems to be to acually eat the thermometer -_-" haha

 

[Blaze]

A MASSIVE thank you to madeve who made these pictures possible

My little Sunnys growing up.

Little Sunny does make me chuckle! He's got such a smiley face.

Amazing what a change in camera settings does for Sunny. His toe tips sure have darkened up a ton since his last photo session.

 

[Blaze]

haha, hes ALWAYS smiling like that, especially for pictures =]
The settings have worked 100 percent
Yes toe tips have darkened, cloaca has disappeared? haha

 

[Azariel]

Sunny has so fun and big smile!! Really cute!

 

[Rikkoshaye]

Sunny is one of my favorite little axolotls! (But I do have a soft spot for the gold ones, hehe.) I like how he looks so happy to see you!

 

[Blaze]

aww thanks guys!
He is always coming over to the side of the tank to give me a big smile. Since I've wanted an axolotl, I've wanted a golden one, they are just so beautiful!

 

[Blaze]

Unfortunetly guys, I don't think i'll ever get a body shot of Sunny as he is just always facing me and smiling! hehe

Here we go, a few from today and also his new tank, still bare but I took out some of the sand and it's cleared up. SUCCESS!!! after many fights, the filter is FINALLY staying sucked onto the wall. I win

 

[Blaze]

Well, Sunnys had a big clean out and i'm getting mroe filter wool so will have to re-cycle lol. I know have four guppies and am obviously expecting babies soon =] I know have one last shrimp, Sunny ate the second last this arvo haha. This one we call the king of the tank as hes ALWAYS up there and no one dare goes into his hole!!
I love the one where hes like NO MUM NO PICTURES, then hes sorta coming out like but maybe she has food.....

 

[Magali]

He is mega cute. Sunny by name and sunny by nature. I really like your tank too, it looks really good.

 

[Blaze]

Thanks!!!! Sunny is a very funny little character =]

Just a quick picture of Sunny doing his thing. Normally he sits underneath the filter, flicks his gills and they go almost white! This time he was just sitting underneath it.
