I just received two axolotls this past week and finally got a few decent photos. I've wanted them for a long time. . . .

Stunning - the tank looks fantastic. Just to check though, is that black sand or gravel? My eyes are funny today, can't see too well

nice cute axolotls

Thanks everyone.

I collect all my own driftwood and it can take a couple of years soaking in a tub in the basement before it is completely saturated and sinks. I've been saving this nice stump for something special like this tank.

The substrate is Tahitian Moon Sand. It is black but has some greenish jewel like grains that give it a very rich color and great contrast with the white axolotls. . . . When my axolotls eat bloodworms, they do seem to get a mouth full of sand but are very capable of spitting out the sand before swallowing the worm.

Awwwww! I remember when my leucistic was that little. Jealous. Look at their sweet little faces... swoons.

Great looking tank,the black sand really shows the axies off.

Yucca Patrol · Jun 25, 2009

They are growing fast and I am having fun working to get some good photos. Here is probably my best so far

Beautiful! Great picture, are you entering it into the calender competition?

Yucca Patrol · Jun 25, 2009

How do I enter it in the calendar competition? This photo took several hours to make happen. Glad others like it.

Cliff · Jun 25, 2009

Again excellent tank and cute Axolotls! really should look into the calendar comp!

Kerry1968 · Jun 26, 2009

If you look on the caudata.org homepage there is a thread there about entering the competition. You have to email the photos.

Yucca Patrol · Jun 26, 2009

Thanks everyone for your kind comments on my photos.

I went ahead and submitted it for consideration.

I need to post some photos of my new wild type axies... . .

I was going to also submit some photos I took of the main night for spawing of the spotted salamander we have here in Alabama, but it turns out that the image quality does not meet minimum requirements.. . .

Great looking axolotl and I love your setup especially your driftwood.
