Inspired by Nikki's (Piggy Lotl-) pictures above :) I have tempted my babies with tubifex. It's amazing to see them struggling with these 'spaghetti'-clews :D

Aww when I took a quick look at these pictures I thought this cute axie wasn't able to put on lipstick the right way.
:lol:
 
Hi, I noticed you have bamboo in your tank, do you have it totally submerged? Also do you have anything on the bottom other then sand?
I just sat up tank to cycle, and I put the bamboo in and just very small pebbles, do you think it will grow ok.
I am very new Newbie. all the help you can give me is gratefully appreciated.

Hi there....pebbles aren't a great idea for axies....you're best of with sand or nothing, although there are some great ideas on here where people have used what looks like astro turf. Axies can swallow small pebbles and they can get impacted in their gut causing all sorts of problems. Would strongly suggest removing them before they can cause any damage.

Welcome to the forum...some great people on here and some very sound advice for us newbies. :)
 
WOW! what awesome gills on this one, he/she is beautiful
 
Wooper: FOOOD?! *Dances*

That smile! *Squeee!* :grin:
 
Thank you for the info. I just ordered some sand, very fine sand at that, it is called Tahitian Moon, a beautiful black color. I thought that would be a good color because I am waiting to order a Goldie and an Albino, again thank you for the heads up about the pebbles.
 
I love seeing all these pics.....I think I'm turning into an axie geek. They fascinate me and the more I see and read the more fascinated I become.

Here's Rosie's NEW tank at work. The one she was in was too small and I felt sorry for her, so over the weekend in went the new one. She's in her element but missed her black mug, so popped that back in this afternoon. She found it almost immediately and was soon sat happily looking out of it.

I think it's been a bit of sensory overload for her.....for the first time EVER she has sand under her feet. It was sooooo cute to see the little footprints this morning and knowing she'd had a good nose round over the weekend.

Anyway, love all the tank and axies photos...keep them coming guys. :)

Please don't put Tahitian moon sand in your tank. Another axie owner had it in her tank for a while and it killed two of her axies as it has some really sharp bits in it :( Unipac do a nice axie safe dark grey/black sand :)

Please see thread: http://www.caudata.org/forum/f46-beginner-newt-salamander-axolotl-help-topics/f48-axolotls-ambystoma-mexicanum/f59-axolotl-tank-set-ups-filters-substrate/80274-warning-about-tahitian-moon-sand.html
 
Just reaaranged the tank to give more floor space in his hide. We had a cold snap here for us and the tanks been about 19deg. Little mate has been quiet.. tank is back to its usual 21ish deg. And hes out wandering round.. Tough northern tropics aussie lotl.. Likes the heat...

Unfortunately he also fell off his new hides roof 3 times. Gave up and hes back on the floor again amongst his ornaments lol....

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
