Hey, I been on this forum for about a week now but my new axolotls just arrived in the mail so I figured I had better post something (I had one before but I think the thread got lost, If I am repeating myself sorry John)
So I got Two wild type Axolotls today, they are bigger then I thought they would be, 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 inches long and decently healthy. No names yet.... They are both missing one foot each But I hope as they enjoy their new environment they will relax and begin to regenerate :happy:
I haven't finalized their habitat yet, I was expecting younger ones so I opted for a bare floor tank... now that I see they are so big I might use some substrate (sand maybe?)
They are eating a good amount today (one cube of frozen brine shrimp)
One of them keeps floating to the top surface of the water and flicks his gills every once in a while (possible oxygenation problem?) But I recall reading threads on here of other people axies casually floating about just for kicks so I am not too worried (no other signs of abnormalities or illness just stress of travel and new environment)
