These arent reptiles

[bleeding_sarcasm]

but theyre totally-awesome just the same!

axolotls!!









we got these guys a couple weeks ago, and just set them up in a 18gallon [10 tall] tank. with some albino corys, and albino danios. i aspire to have an all albino-or-white-and-creepy tank after everything gets settled, and when my local fish store gets them back in, ill throw in some blind cave fish [also really cool] and a ton of more plants... that... dont need much in the way of light, because i dont keep light on or heat these guys theyre economical! woot.

To cool Tamara!! I have always lusted over them, but have yet to get any!
Blind cave fish are cool too, I like that they will learn their environment and not bump into any thing.

yea, my boyfriend had one [an axolotl] when i first met him, and ive wanted one ever since, then a local guy on CL was selling them, and how could i say no to 10$ a pop i think i need a completely melanistic one, and ive got one of every color hahah

Really Sweet I just read a article on how they retain juvie body features into adulthood.

That golden albino is very pretty. I kept axolotls years ago, I miss having them around.

Man mine was 30 bucks! haha. What temp do you keep the water?

[bleeding_sarcasm]

hahah, that sucks, I keep my tank just at room temperatures, which is high 60s, low 70s, i dont add heat or anything, and all the fish do fine. the axoltls actually like it pretty cold.

[Danabug020]

Yeah Unfortunately for me I impulse bought mine and believed the guy at the pet store (its the oldest fish store in the bay area and he has been running it for like a billion years) he told me it would be fine with my mollies and platys and I keep them at like 75 : / he is doing alright but I really need to move him into a tank with lower temps. I might just sell him though... I dunno he is pretty effin sweet.

[Danabug020]

ps

you live in the bay area dont you? where did you get them so cheap?

[bleeding_sarcasm]

yes i do. i got them off a guy in the concord area, off of CL.

[Danabug020]

recently? I want some! haha

[bleeding_sarcasm]

yea, a few days before i made this thread. He already pulled the ad off of CL so i am assuming he sold them all :/ Ill have some in like a year or two hahah
