Randomly noticing cute things

[Boo Penguin]

I was just looking at my axi (as we all do) and I noticed than when there is light behind her you can see through the skin on her toes and see the little bones and joints in them... its amazingly adorable.

I figure this is only possible because she's an albino... but its almost like looking at a color x-ray.

Anyways thats my rant... now all albino owners will be checking if they can see it on their axi too

My wildtype's can be seen at the light fingertips. I only know this though, as she's either growing an extra toe (on TOP of her foot), without any injury occuring 1st, or she's sliced a VERY toe-looking piece off the top of her foot somehow (it's been there a while, but has gown), so I've been scrutinsing her whenever she's in a co-operative mood

Aww that so cute! my leucistic is pale enough that i can see all her insides and bones (or are the more like cartilage i don't know) but its adorable, and i know when s/he is hungry beacuse i can see the stomach is empty

Oooh I'll have to look closer at my girl in the future... she also has a large darker patch on her side (kinda looks like a bruise) which has always been there. I'm slightly confused about it as she is an albino... maybe its one of her internal organs.

@Mojo... thats kinda weird. My girl as a gimpy leg which has never quite grown back and one side of her gills are shorter and fatter than the other.

I kinda like the way I can see bloodworm being eaten inside the babies heads. You can see how they suck worms in and out and squish them all about, then swallow. Amazing!!

My biggest axie has had a favourite leaf since it arrived in the tank, its a thin long leaf and lately I noticed it doesn't hold the axie up anymore! I don't think he/she is ready to give up yet though as they cling on, roll under, scrabble back on, cling on some more, the leaf eventually touches the floor almost and off slides the axie, think I'm gna need to buy a stronger plant......

Aww these are so cute! I was just watching my axie swimming up the side of the tank chasing his reflection and he snapped at it! I think he might be hungry enough to eat himself.. time to get the bloodworms!

I'm so pleased to read that someone else's axie chases their reflection!!! Mine does it and it is hilarious! Chases him/herself around lol

I was cleaning out the tank today and moving things about to get all the dirt, one was in the plantpot and just sat in it, head hanging out as I moved it around, they are both getting an obsession with my hands too, they like to nuzzle my fingers and try to get ontop of my hands when I'm cleaning the tank.....weird!
