Here is my wife and my first Axolotl.
We got it from a fairly local breeder. It lives in a 10 gallon tank with a small sponge filter and some hiding spots. Tonight was the first night we had it, and it did quite a bit of exploring, ate a bit, and seems to be fairly content.
Tomorrow I'll be doing a partial water change, testing the water, and just making sure everything is going well.
We have named him Europa, because his colors kind of reminded me of Jupiter's moon. We figure if we end up enjoying keeping it, we will get more and can continue naming them after bodies in the Solar System.
I won't be leaving the light on in the aquarium very often, but I turned it on just to see how he would glow. That's a pretty nifty mutation, for sure.
I found myself just kind of staring at Europa for a good long time tonight, even though it was just resting on different things in the tank. It's a funny looking creature...it looks so happy.
