Just wanted to share a few shots of my axies. Here's Hayt. I've had him for about 6 months, and I believe he is appearing to be male. Could someone explain what type of albino he is? I haven't seen any albinos that look like him. He's stark white, but his eyes are almost the exact same color he is. Would he be a melanoid albino, maybe?
And here are some pics of the babies I just got in from Rick Perez today. For now they're in a bare bottom 20 gallon long with some plants and decorations to provide hiding places. Do you think I'll have any problems with 5 babies in a 20 long? Should I split them up? The only other aquarium I have that will hold water (and doesn't have aggressive fish in it) is a 10 gallon.
These guys are super cute. They're all really active, and they keep swimming up to the top of the water directly into the stream of the filter, so it pushes them to the opposite end of the tank. I have a duetto and a (cycled) sponge filter going for them, with the duetto raised just slightly out of the water so most of the water it moves is at the surface, and they seem to love fighting the current.
I'm thrilled to have a lot of color variety now. I now have- 1 (white?) albino, 2 gold albino, 1 leucistic, 1 melanoid, and 1 wild-type. I love it especially in the babies in their tank together, because the contrast is awesome.
