Introducing Floyd the Axolotl

[VeNT]

2 ft tank?
I'd heard that they grow to 1ft long?

 

[PinkFloyd]

I think 30cm is full grown, so she's got a bit to go yet.

By the way I named it 'Floyd' as it was impossible to determine what sex it was when I first got it! Obviously after Pink Floyd

I'm honoured!

Cool pet though. Never seen one of those before

[VeNT]

he still going? how long do they last?

 

[Narziss]

Still going strong I believe the average lifespan is 10 - 15 years!

 

[Bennie-Mac]

I'm currently hunting for a decent tank before buying one of these guys.

What sort of size and style you after skip? I have a 190l black corner tank doing nothing.

 

[Robbo]

I still want one of these, they just look awesome!

 

[Kristoph]

Those Axolotl are very cool creatures, seem like they have a lot of character!

My two new guys say hi to Floyd.

Wow What is the difference between feeding it frozen and live earthworm, apart from the obvious?

 

[Shayper]

Do want

 

[Hairybudda]

They look awesome, not enough to put me off starting off on mantis shrimp but maybe something to think about.

 

[Cosimo]

I still want one of these, they just look awesome!

You've had almost a year to decide. Go for it.

I try and mix up their diet, so I feed them both live earthworms and frozen blood worm. The blood worm can get a bit messy, so I prefer to drop in some earthworms every few days. They love them!

 

[Sunbed]

A bit late for that. I'm still tempted on that DNA test for my son (I think it is the external gills).

HA!

This is an immense pet. I've never even heard of them before, now I have to get some!

 

[Robbo]

You've had almost a year to decide. Go for it.

I don't think I would be able to give it the love and attention that it needs
