Well they day finally arrived yesterday after hours and hours of driving and stopping and searching and getting frustrated, I found my black red gill axolotl, and after all that driving I found an advertisement of someone selling her that only lived 15 minutes down the road :(
So now she is chilling in her new tank living it up, cute as ever so I'm now a proud owner of an axie lol, maybe two come Tuesday.......

Congratulations on your new addition :D

Sadly the gravel may continue to appear for quite sometime :( but it's great she's able to get it out - keep offering food & hopefully they'll all pass or be regurgitated without too much of a problem. Make sure to keep removing it as you find it.

It would be great to see some pics of your new lotl :) we love putting faces to names lol

Yet another case of why gravel is so bad - so happy your lotl is getting them out... That's the most important thing :eek:

You must be so excited! :p They are cute and fun to watch. I can't believe they're not more well known. I'm happy I found out about them. No one ever mentioned one once, I randomly found out about them a few months ago online and was like :eek:asdkubglsivnuh!!! LOL They must be so underrated :(
