This is Bilbo

[ricky]

This is Bilbo, We saved him from a pet shop, they had him in a tropical tank with some angels (note rear right leg and front right toes missing) we have no idea how old he/she is, one thing we do know is bilbo is one funny little Axie.
He belongs to the wife really, only took her 17 years to get one.

Awwww.. sooo cute. I sooo wanted one like that.. but hard to get in Melbourne. I'm sure Bilbo's leg would grow back.

Onya for the rescue,I'm like the axolotl police at my LPS always checking on their condition. LOL

oh my god he was in a tropical tank what were they bloody thinking ! his leg may grow back quicker if you drop the temp to quite cold

 

[ricky]

His leg and front toes are growing back really well.
As you can see in the new pic's.

Thats fantastic! Great work!!
He's so cute!!! HOw big is he (length wise). He only looks young/small. Hes still semi-translucent - SO CUTE!
Well done, congrats on a beautiful axie.
Is it just your camera, or does Bilbo have a yellow tinge to his white colour? If so.. thats pretty unique, never seen anything like that.

Again, CUTE!!!

Thanks JOleen,
He/She is just over 4.5 inchs long.
As for the colour, thats down to the tank lights and my camera, I don't use the flash for Bilbos pic's.

Angels?!??! As in angel fish?!?!?!
But arnt they warm water :S

As in Angel fish, He was in there with 3 other axies and all of them were missing limbs, If I had the money and the tank space then I would have got all of them out of there..
