Thought I would share some photos of all my current pets, I have quite the collection!

I've grown up with animals since I was an infant, and this life long hobbey of animal keeping took off when I was around 8 years old. My mother came home with a Betta fish that I named Mr.Bubbles and soon after that I was mesmerized with aquatic life.

As I've gotten older and more experienced I've expanded the variations of species that I keep, my animals are my life, my passion. I hope you all enjoy the photos! :D

( all photos were taken by me )

Animals Kept

1 female tuxedo kitten, 1 male Blue healer/black lab puppy, 1 female bearded dragon, 1 female Koi Betta, 1 Columbian long toed salamander, 1 morphed axolotl salamander (wild type coloration), 1 female albino axolotl, 1 golden albino axolotl, 2 wild type axolotls, 30+ feeder guppys.

Lovely to see all of your pets. :happy:

Regarding a previous picture that you posted of your axolotl yawning, it always makes me smile, so I hope that you don't mind, but I've printed out a copy and it's on the wall by my desk in work, along with pictures of my gang. A pleasant distraction when things are a bit hectic in work. :D

Haven't seen a Betta like that before. Beautiful.

Thank you! I've only ever seen two or three Bettas of this specific coloration in person, and haven't been able to find any more since I bought Sally. She is a stunning fish, but boy does she have a temper! She is by far the most aggressive betta that I've ever had. Of course that's a fairly normal trait with betta fish, and I love her to death. :happy:

I don't mind at all, it makes me very happy to know that my pets and photos bring joy to other people. :D

    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?
