Good Evening & Happy New Year to all, I am happy to say my 2 new axies are growing their legs in fine, when they arrived here back in November there was only one leg between the two of them & it was just so sad to see them try to "stump" their way around....the boy is "Tank" & the little girl is "Kickstand".
I was wondering if anyone could take a peek at my photos?? The tank/water is in excellent condition & they both eat very well but I worry about "Tank's" gills. They are so vibrant & red & growing longer all the time but there is a white coloration along some of them. It is not fuzzy or fluffy, just a shiny white on them. "Kickstand" does not seem to have this...I can spot a little on hers if I search & search...but his is very apparent.
They have also been trying to breed since the fourth or fifth day here, at first it was just a staged little breeding dance (so very cute first thing in the morning) but this last week Tank has started dropping his little "spermacones" around the ground....was not really looking for that to happen but I guess with the conditions being right I should have known this could start happening. I have been sucking them up with a turkey baster as soon as I see them but who knows what happens when I am asleep
I hope the pictures are clear enough...
Thank you! Christine
