Hi From Western Australia

Hey I'm Meredyth, I have 3 Boys (6 1/2, 5 and 2 1/2) the older 2 got an axolotl each about a month ago and since then I've learned SO much about them. We didn't know it when we bought them but we have a male Wild "Dillon" and a female albino "Chrysta" (white eyes, yellow skin with the luminescent spots, not sure of it's genetics exactly) and on August 25th they became parents to "Fish" (the 2yo named it) our baby Axie who at the moment has the black eyes, luminescence and may be pale yellow or could be white depends on the light he's in. He is LOVING the BBS we've been growing. He is the only egg that actually hatched of the 100ish that were laid. We had about 10 that started to develop and 5 that made it to within a few days of hatching. The day after "Fish" hatched the other 4 eggs went green and all died, after breaking them out of their eggs they all looked deformed with small heads huge abdomens and almost no tail or gills.
From what we can figure the parents are not quite mature enough for breeding and had I known they were male and female I wouldn't have put then in the same tank so I'm hoping the low birth rate is because she was not quite mature so had immature eggs.

Hubby has been keeping fish for about 30 years, his skills with hatching brine shrimp have suddenly come in very handy, and I've always wanted axolotls so here we are :happy:

That's about it, mostly just looking for ppl who can answer questions about raising little "Fish" as they come up :happy:

Welcome Meredyth, good luck raising little "fish". Be sure to read the following: Axolotls - Rearing from Egg to Adult

Thank you Mark That has been my "Bible" over the past couple of weeks

Lea I'd have to take some pics of the parents but I took this one of Fish last night and to my surprise he is covered in dark spots they are too small to be seen with the naked eye but the super Macro on the good camera picked them up without a problem
He's kinda cute really.
