Ive had these guys (or girls) for a while now and thought it was about time I posted an update on them...
They have been doing great, at least I feel like they have, any small injuries they had when I received them have completely or almost completely healed, Falcor my leucisitic axolotl had some issues with her (pretty sure it's a girl) gills when I brought her home, one side had pretty much thinned out on the gill filaments, but now they are full and fluffy, her feet have completely healed, and she's grown about 2" or more, at a total of about 8" now...
My Melanoid GFP Toothless, he is a little ball of energy, swimming around quite a bit at night and playing on the fake plants... All of his/her injuries have healed, and I have come to realize the white spot on his side is not any form of bacteria, fungus, or injury, just a pigment lacking patch of skin... Kinda cute really... Toothless has grown maybe an inch...
They are fed with feeder guppies that I breed at home, earthworms, occasional bloodworm cubes, or more often than anything, HBH super soft krill pellets, which they love....

Here are some photos taken with my iPhone 4S and a nifty camera attachment for it called the Ōlloclip... I was too lazy to bust out the Nikon SLR and having too much fun playing with the Ōlloclip... These are an assortment of fisheye, macro, and wide angle shots... Again all taken on the iPhone 4S.

These pictus are brilliant !!! I want an iPhone 4 :D

I love the fish eye shots - looks like your axies are in there own little bubble - AMAZING
 
Toothless is awesome. I just got a little gfp melanoid myself. I named mine Tuco.
 
Thanks guys! Dee, the Ōlloclip is a genius invention... And the iPhone 4S is amazing in its own right as well!

Toothless is a character... He is either walking slowly or galloping through the tank like a fool, or chasing guppies frantically... He's quite funny to watch... Falcor I have a feeling is reaching maturity, dark toe tips, and very lazy compared to toothless who is obviously still playful and young.
 
AWESOME! Thinking I will have to try it with my new iphone s. I love siri!
 
Thanks, the only drawbacks I have found are that it has a minimal focus area with the macro lens, which is much smaller than it would be in say, an SLR which is obvious, it's a much smaller lens!!!

The other downside is that the lens must be used on a "naked" iPhone, cases don't work with it, though most screen protectors will be fine with it... It won't damage the glass on the phone either.
 
nice pics :D

if you can upload a pic of the melanoid under a blacklight plz
 
I don't own a black light anymore, sorry :/ I didn't get the GFP because they glow... Got him because he was cute, loved his color, and those green eyes...
 
Small world, our two albinos have the same names! And we thought we were being original :confused:

Gorgeous axies though!
