Axel and Krystal

At the weekend i picked up two more axies, a black (which is actually wild type!) and an albino (which is actually leucistic!). They are quite young, wild type is 2 inches and leucistic is about 4 inches. I've named them, wild type - Axel and leucistic - Krystal. Axel's very shy, unlike Krystal who always comes to the top to say hello I brought these pair to go with Follie but unfortunately Follie didn't pull through
Heres pics of the new arrivals

they are both lovely. hopefully these two cuties will help to take the sting out of your loss.

I loved Follie to pieces, but Krystal is so sweet and does help me with her head bobbing and her clambering to get to me!

Sorry about Follie. I like Krystal, cause thats my sisters name but with a C not a K. When i looked at Krystal's pic she has little freckles on her face (cute). Madison looked similiar to Krystal and Cookie looked similiar to Axel but they got a rare blood disease and died.

Anyway they look lovely and real cute. Hope all goes well with them

Hey jay, sorry about Madison and Cookie. *hugs*

Hey Claire, I actually got them from a guy up north that had some babies, so i checked them out and they are very healthy, and sweet lol.

hehe i think getting them from an actual breeder is actually better than getting them from a petstore!

thats so cool

Update

Hello all,
I know i haven't been posting for the last 2 weeks as much as i use to, its finding the time now i have a job! lol, but I'm back.

I know the pictures above are from 3 weeks ago and thought i would give you a brief up date to show you how the little mights are getting on... But krystal isn't so little anymore! lol some times i call her by accident Follie, because every day shes looking more and more like Follie. Axel the little shy dude was 2 inches when i got him, hes now 4 inches! and krystal was about 4 inches and shes like 5.5 inches. I must admit, i don't notice them growing because I'm always with them, but my best friend Sarah was like "omg how big are they now!" I mean when i got axel he's legs had only just formed really!

I cant believe how much these pair eat!!! When i had Follie it was a struggle to get her to eat 3 bloodworm's soon as i had her, and i didn't realise just how bad that was, because adults normally eat once every 2-3 days so i thought it was because i was feeding her daily. Now i know that Follie never ate right. I tend to feed these pair twice a day, dinner time (between 12:30 and 2) and T-Time which is 6, and they know it! lol

Heres the pictures of them!!

Hey Tasha
i love krystal she is so adorable!

Just wondering, how big is your tank?

The tank krystal is in is 3ft, but axels by him self in a smaller tank until hes a little bigger and then i can re-introduce them.
