Hi Everyone

I decided to hit the LFS today and pick up some things for my Axols.

Here is a before:

And the after shot:

I added two pieces of driftwood with anubias attached. A resun cave/arch which I've attached two small pieces of anubias to (don't mind the rubber bands for now). Between the plants and the driftwood etc they now have a few different places to hide out.

Dino legs has already staked out his new home under the arch/cave. I circled him so you could see him...sort of...DOH!! :p

I only just realised that I left the shop without buying more blood worms and beef heart. DOH!! Will have to go back next week, I have enough until then.

Thanks for looking!
 
Looks very nice Colinna. :)
Lovely axies.. haha, great camouflager too!
Didn't realize Australian LFS's sold bloodworms, well at least not that I know of in N.S.W. :(
 
Thanks for that!

Mine sells frozen blood worms. Most of my local ones do I think.
 
Lucky! I've had bloodworms breed over here before, but only very rarely. Lots of mozzies though. The wrigglers are great, but the adults - not so much.
 
Hi, lovely tank and beautiful axies :happy:

Bloodworms are best fed to the axies in something like a jam-jar or pint-glass, to help reduce the mess !

I'd forget using beef-heart* altogether as it's unatural in their diet and tends to promote ill-health.

Hope this helps, KW

Sarah - we have mozzies gallore around here but I have no idea where they are breeding. No stagnant water around here...

Thanks for that Ken! I usually put them into a glass and the drop the whole batch in one spot. They don't tend to spread it around much...yet...LOL!!

I'll avoid the beef heart.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
