hi im not a newbie to this,
i have a fishkeepers award, and have been keeping tanks for years, including axies.
i workded for a period in a aqauctics (wont be going back to that i tell ya!)
yes this is a new set-up but i have been cycling it for 2 weeks prior to the introduction of the axolotls.im quite aware of the nitrogen cycle.
the base is bare, as i dont like to keep axies on gravel or sand, as it makes it a whole lot harder to clean for me.
all of these have been vomiting up gravel from the previous owners tank, so this proves further my ditest of using any sort of substrate.
the poor things looks so anoyed to chuck up all that gravel.
he said he kept it for a year, and it had this, lump when he got it and the enveloped eye.
he said it had not changed.
but i was angry that he did not tell me this, nor did he mention this on the lsiting.
i can really give negative feedback, as i was the one who asked if he would post them to me.
but still, he really should have told me about her problem, as i certainly would not have bought her in a pet shop.
im very picky when it comes to choosing pets, i dont like them to have any deformaties that would make it harder for me to enjoy them.
im pleased with the goldens, they seem happy, i geuss i should just wait and see what happens with this lump, as surely if it were a parasite then it would have acted long ago?
you can still see the eye, wheather or not its still functional i dont know.
i shall keep a eye on her for any changes and will complain to him should the situation change.
he even had these with goldfish and clawed frogs!
looks like im stuck with a oddball, but i dont mind, i still got some nice goldens out of it.
thanks for your help
