Im off to the shops


As those who have been following my blog are aware
Today is the big day
In an hour il be off to the aquariums in search of my new albino axolotl!

I am going to get 2 axolotls, One white and one black.
Im hoping they won't fight and are playful and mate with eachother :D

My setup is a 3 foot tank by about 1 foot width. Ive thrown in some gravel as well as feeder fish and 10 Cray fish. Erm, Make that 4 cray fish. One of my brothers fish i let into the tank sort of ate the other 6.
But hey thats what there there for. So with no real news to give you guys until a couple hours, here are some fun axolotl facts
1. Axolotls or Mexican Walking Fish are a type of water salamander commonly found in mexico.
2. They are a great pet for teenagers or people who want somthing different.
3. Axolotls come in different colours, but mainly WHITE, Luestic, Gold, albino and black. Expect various shades of these types.
4.When an axolotl is deprived of water to live in, it goes through a metamorphosis in which they evolve into a lung, air beathing salamander
5. Axolotl is the juvenile or young form of a salamander. They remain in this form there whole lives and can even breed in this form.
Thanks for taking the time to read this blog, Check back next time where il upload pics of the new little addition to my household.

    those creatures are pretty interesting, but i thought they were hard to find now because they were becoming endangered?

    looking forward to more

    Good luck on your quest dude! I read about these the other day on cracked I believe it was, they creep me the hell out, look like they're from some alien planet and will come out of their aquarium at night and attack you.

    I saw these little guys on Planet Earth. I wasn't aware that you could buy them for your aquarium. I'll have to do some research because these would be amazing to own.

    I've got a book, named "Axolotl Roudkill" and was written by a young german girl.
    I ever wondered, how this animal looks like - know i'm smarter.

    I hope you check these comments, it is very dangerous for your axies to have fish in the aquarium with them! Their fins can get stuck in an axolotl's gills!
