  1. fixed agression problem in our big tank by removing all females no matter what species
  2. you maybe surprised as to what type they are, there are a lot of giants in this area temp needs to be kept down otherwise you can have fungal problems
  3. didn't mean to panic you mincie i only meant it as advice when you first start out wth a new animal it can be a bit of a worry after a while things will settle down each of us keep our animals in slightly different ways, but good food, the right temp and humidity and environment are about the same in all keepers it is good there are so many knowledgable and experienced keepers on here
  4. its the minstrel show sometimes called harlequins the degree of patchiness varies from, like a friesian cow to spotting and speckles you need to maybe have a look at its siblings and see if any are carrying that colouration as they grow, might only be slight, like a toe of a different colour etc. best idea is to breed back to one of these or either of the parents depending on sex, i know this may sound incestuous but is best way to fix the gene axolotl genetics are very random and harlequins are rare and in demand overseas i currently have young from a spotted female and golden male, with about 40 of the babies carrying the spotted gene in varying degrees, even some gold with black spots good luck with babies and happy new year
