Update on Tank & Kickstand

Here are some new pics of Tank & Kickstand & their forever changing home ....
When I first received these 2 (Nov 2008, both 13 months old) they only had 1 leg & 6 stubs....Tank has both his back legs now & as well as Kickstand who has posed for a great picture showing her front leg growing :happy: The changes in their size and re-growth is just amazing in such a short time.
They still do the "mating" dance (spermacones included) at least 2 times a week (it is very sweet) & to much amazement ~ no eggs yet....I guess Kickstand just does not get over top of the cones correctly, Tank pushes her all around them & sometimes he even gets under her and carries her to them but still...no eggs....
The tank is still a "work in progress" but I think I am getting closer to the set-up they want for their own little paradise.....they are sooooo spoiled

Hi cdazley,

Outstanding job. Your axies are on the mend, the tank is beautiful. Your axies are definitely in very safe hands and would give you many years of joy.

Cheers

Oh wow! I want to live there - it looks a paradise.

Now I feel I know why Tank is called Tank, it's all in the attitude. I'm curious, where did the name Kickstand originate?

Kickstand is the one that came with the "1 leg" so it just fit perfectly! The 1 leg she did come with seems to be growing a little "thick", I counted 7 toes on it today :happy:
Tank used to just "plow" through the sand when he had no legs at all, what a soilder, he did not seem to mind at all!

What an imaginative, colorful aquarium and what lovely axolotls! Good that they are spoiled - best thing one can do with an axie, right?

Thanks for the pretty pics,

Just browsing through older posts. I'm extremely late, but you're tank looks absolutely fantastic. I better stop myself looking through these, because i get extremely jelous. Then decide to use all my money on things, that will only be replaced the week after!
Well done!

Haha they look so retarded with those stumps, no offense

Vidofner~That made me laugh, I always thought that made them look "special" too :happy: Poor things, they still have nubs for front legs....I wonder if they wll ever grow?? I have had them for 7 months...that makes them 1 1/2 yrs old....the growth is sooooo slow. I guess since they are older I should consider they might not ever grow back completely. Poor little ones..
2 pix attached, they are from April but no changes since then really. If there is growth it is almost impossible to tell. Kickstand has a little hook thing on the end of her left front foot, right front leg is still part of an arm, not much but something. Tank still has the pointy little triangle nubs coming out & they seem to get thicker but not really any longer. Maybe one day they will start to grow in length. LOL
Thanks for the laugh, no offense taken whatsoever it is funny, I'm just glad they are mine and I can give them a good home.
Lacey~ Thanks for the comments on the set up, it is very pleasing to watch them in their paradise, one of these days I will figure out a way to join them It seems like a fun place to hang out~ Christine

Hi Christine,

You have a truly beautiful setup and axies, Well done.

They're both really plump and well looking - if they look "special", it can only be in a good way

Um am very emotional. You are so good for taking care of them and they seem to be very happy just hanging around and regrowing bits haha.

Very nice tank,and your axies look happy and healthy.:happy:
