Dweeby felt like posing today.


Oh, and I finally managed to grab a pic of one of my fish:

This is a Grondel (in English it's called a Gudgeon I think)
Don't worry. They were in quarantine tank for quite a while before I placed them in the main tank. They have no diseases or parasites or anything. They are large enough to not get eaten (and might I say, blindingly fast!), and it's not in their nature to try and attack axies (or their gills). They are bottom feeders and eat pretty much anything axies will. This is a great boon; they eat up any leftovers you might not have cleaned up after feeding time.

They are very shy however; don't expect to see them merrily swimming around like a goldfish. They just hide and lay low.
 
I haven't named the leucistic with crazy-long gills yet.....but I'm thinking Gil might be appropriate. ;)
 
I can't seem to stop taking/posting pictures of them!!!! Here they were tonight...

And Mortimer....in his typical, discombobulated-looking pose:

Wow, I've never seen a wild type like that. o_o

I know! He is beautiful! I use to not like wild type color untill the breeder convinced me she had a beautiful wild type so i was like sure why not! I am glad she convinced me!
His colors are so distinct. And the green is beautiful. And he has silver splotches all over him.
 
I know i am biased, but my Franklin (since she is a girl perhaps ?franklynn?) is such a cute little character!!
(though I have gill-envy on all those long gills posted!) :D

It appears that Mulders' stomach is more powerful than his/her shyness :D
Scully scuttled over to see why she/he wasn't getting all the attention, or food :p

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
