Photo: My Axies New Tank

Well after a bad start with an ill advised gravel tank I am pleased to show piccies of my axies new 3ft tank, any comments welcome (please be kind) Finley (albino gold) Mojo (leucistic) & Jabba (wild) all seem to have settled in quickly! Jabba is doing laps (he loves to swim) Finley loves to explore and Mojo loves to sit in his hollow log :happy:

Very Nice! Both animals and the set up. :happy:


I really like that green log hide. What is it?

Hi there Mac, thanks for the kind comments

I got the green log from my local pet shops (petsmart) but you can get them on good old ebay and have just checked ebay US for you and there are some on there (Blue Ribbon Pet Products Jumbo Hollow Log - eBay (item 370422296411 end time Sep-18-10 15:09:25 PDT)) just search under log fish tank, I got the other 30cm hollow polyresin log also off ebay, that seems to be their favourite one :happy:

Looks great! I love the logs! The one on the right is a little unusual - I like it!! I love the rock background too - what is that?

The swimming shots of your wild are nice too. I love the ones who like to swim! Great looking axies, look forward to seeing these guys as they grow!

However, I think you are missing something...a melanoid to round out your crew! lol

That's a lovely set-up!

Was the background from these guys? AquaTerra Naturalistic 3D Aquarium Backgrounds, Our Products

Great tank. Your axies are so adorable and look like they're enjoying their new house!

That looks really nice. I have the same background in mine, I think and snake hide lol,

Awwww thanks guys Am loving being an axie owner think they are fascinating to watch and am chuffed with their new home To answer a few questions

1) Shannon - thanks so much glad you like the log my axies do its 30cm's so plenty of hiding space and it was bought off ebay its a polyresin hollow log and so easy to keep clean with the bonus of looking natural!! As for the Melanoid oh trust me woudl love to! With me & my hubby and 2 children we have always had one pet each so Paul & Ella are having to share Jabba, Mojo is mine and Finley Zak's, just wish I had a bigger tank then it would not be a problem but I have had to rearrange our whole lounge to accomodate these guys plus blocking Paul's view to the TV with the massive tank, ooopps!!!

2) Ken - Thanks so much Its made my Jewel and its a 3D rock background, I love it and so do the axies Jabba tries to scale it shame its so expensive we were lucky it came wit the tank as its £40 per square and I have 2 in my tank

3) Thanks everyone else & yes axies seem very happy
