So I've got two rebel Axo's here in Australia, where the majority of people seem not to know what the heck they are. They are both the wild colour, with more green in them than brown/black - quite nice actually. Their names - Turbo as he seems to float and glide around the top then hit boost; and Axilius Maximus, as he perches on a big river stone I have in there and looks out blindly with much disdain for the peasant pebbles.
the first, Axilius, I got as a gift, Turbo I bought for his company.
The What:
What specifically should I be doing to get them to feed from my hands? So far it's been pellets since they were fairly young when i got them, approx. finger length in size. I was told pellets was all i needed. . and they liked it enough. the bloodworm branch into my "why" so I'll leave that for now. But they have been getting live food ie. tetra's, white clouds or other baby fish - electric yellows that a friend breeds. but what's the process i need to be going through?
The Why?
I've been told that they do not need a heater by most, but an experienced owner here with a mammoth Axo, (1 ft.) has said that they do if the water gets too cold. There were little thin white things on the glass of the tank after a water change and clean, they looked like little microscopic worms, but I think not. i was told if the water is too cold, they regurgitate the food and it looks like what i had. Now why is it that I cannot get a straight factual answer about the effects of temperature and digestion? help?
The How?
How can I thank you in advance for all the help I'm sure to receive.
lol, thanks alot.
I did have a how, just in the process of writing this, I got the answer.
