First Post - Axolotl

[brett]

Hi, this is my first post, on this forum.
I've decided to get an Axolotl. Done quite a bit of research, bought the gear (had a lot anyway, having kept fish for several years)...just cant find one.
Anyone know where I could source an Axolotl, near Hampshire, UK?
Thanks

Perhaps you should ask in the correct area of the forum? The "Wanted" topic.

John, thanks for your reply. Perhaps your right, maybe I should use "Wanted" forum "Species Wanted, Items Sold" but there seems to be no obvious way of starting a new thread, maybe because the board is closed! (New threads not accepted on this page).
So if you dont mind, I'll keep the post here, maybe somone can help.

You have to click on the section that pertains to where you're from - UK, USA, International, etc. and then you can post in there.

I went to Maidenhead aquatics and they had 2 Axys, we bought 1. Im concerned out the welfare of the other. The tank has a really strong water flow, no gravel, no protection. The Axys were sliding from one end to the other. Their gills were forward which I understand means stressed. I bought the biggest one. I pointed out that the water flow was too strong, but they couldnt really care less. I dont want to think of what will happen to the 1 remaining Axy. It had virtually no gills left because they'd been eaten. And before you ask, why didnt I buy it. Thats because my setup is only big enough for one.
