Hi there
OK this technically isn't about axolotls, but here goes;
When I started to cycle my tank I thought "Hey, I'll just grab some little fish and let them help the process" - and of course, one died. Realising that I have a conscience, I thought I would get "Fishy 1" (the name for the sake of this story) a new home. As I didn't have one, I put him in a vase thing and it was all working out great.
Anyway, I thought I would get him a friend, but for some reason Fishy 1 just died straight away. (My luck with fish isn't so great, huh)
Now, Fishy 2 was great, really great, until he stopped eating - so I figured, hey, he needs a new home. So i got a nice big tank for him and I was about to scoop him out with one of those net things - when he got extra freaked out and wacked his head on the side of the bowl..
So he floated to the surface... At first I was like "WHAT!?! HE CAN'T DIE DAMNIT!! NOT NOW!!!" but sure enough he was belly up. Anyway, to cut a long story short - I poked him a few times and he started breathing again - I plonked him in his new tank and he's swimming around now, happy and.. undead..
What the?
Has anyone ever had this happen?! He was clearly dead/not breathing/belly up/other dead-like feature for about 3 minutes..
