A curiosity....

In my display axo tank I've noticed that one of the albino axos' likes to wrap himself around the warm powerhead. This tank is fairly warm anyway, around 72F.

LOL! Its funny to watch him crawl along the canister until he reaches the powerhead, and more weird still to see him wrap himself around the unit.

Is he just weird?

Nope Sharon,

My youngish wild type Sirius (8 mths-ish) has started to do this. I have just introduced a corner filter unit and have found him on a few occasions doing same.

not sure if it's the heat or vibration he is attracted to.

Left a Q for you in Axo lists. See u there.

Regards,
Mikki

    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?
