Hi to everyone firstly i have been reading over the forums for the last few days and found everyone to be a great hlp.
Well me and my wife brought our daughter her first axolotl for her 5th birthday(dont worry mum and dad will b doing all the looking after/care) and she called her MISTY lol from pokemon any hown this is our first time with axolotls and we want to make sure we have the right set up and we take good care of her. Weve had her home for about 4-5 days and she seems ok but there are a few things that concern me.
1. the filter the pet shop gave us makes the water run a little in the tank not a strong current but there is still a flow that can make her coral looking gills just mave a little. is this ok she dosent seem bothered by it.
2. At times we find her just strolling along the front of her tank but going from side to side and often trying to get in next to the filter and glass of the tank. she dosent fly rapidly around more just stroling from side to side but only for like an hour or so a day is this ok to b so active at times.
We were given frozen worms and beef liver blocks (i think) we gave her a bit of beef and she gulped that up straight away i have been feeding her evry second day as they told me .
so thanx for any hlp that can b given and we look forward to meeting all threw the forums
p.s These little guys are so wicked should of got one 15 years ago lol
