Hi all
Last friday I was out and about looking at some shops and found axolotls for $15 each, which is the cheapest I have seen them for a long time, so I just had to have one. This isn't my first axie, but it has been 18 months since I have kept one. I didn't have a tank ready to go but I filled my 30 gallon and stuffed a filter with media out of my established tanks to get an instant cycle going. It's a golden one, about 7 inches long and is getting on happily and starts to get exited when it knows I'm in the room =P
I just have a quick feeding question too- In winter and spring getting earth worms a few times a week is easy, but in summer and autumn they go really deep and I can't get at them. Does anyone culture compost worms for their axies? Any tips on keeping them? If I can culture them in our worm farm I would be set for summer. Otherwise I will switch to soft pellets and canned shellfish over summer.
Thanks
