aotealotl

it looks like a horseshoe crab 'ghost' or a jellyfish

what's that alien looking thing above the fish left of the air bubble ?

you are joking, right ? (just got sweaty palms.)

Snapper

$400 ? dream on... :rolfl:

cant see any of these pictures or links

and to answer georgemiachael's question. from the view of an Axolotl I would say as long as the temperature can be kept below 20 degrees C all the time, enough air in the bag and dark I see no problem. from a human view I would ask why would you wanna do that ? give it to an Axolotl keeper here in NZ and buy a new one when you're settled down in the UK. remember it's not just the travel, it's also the time until your new fish tank over there is ready and cycled for the Axolotl to move into his new home. just some thoughts.

yeah but back then people were 'normal' and not 'americanised full of paranoia'. it was probably possible to have them in the cabin in the overhead compartment or under your seat in a tuperware ore ice cream container with water (very dangerous bomb building liquid)

it's not a Lungfish but it has a lung polypterus senegalus The fish has a pair of primitive lungs instead of a swim bladder, allowing it to periodically gulp air from the surface of the water. In the aquarium, bichirs can be observed dashing to the surface for this purpose. Provided the skin remains moist, the creature can remain out of the water for nearly indefinite periods of time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypterus_senegalus

not sure if I get what you're trying to say I agree 100%

not anymore, the owner went to a vet with it to put down

that's how an Axolotl looks like after a cat was trying to lift it out of the tank, does not look good at all. keep your cats away from your tanks (Caryl, no worries, it wasn't Denny Crane nor was it one of my Axolotl)

some ?

:rolfl:

Godly3vil you're out :sage: recession :spop:

thank you, now you've killed it :an!gry there is no word starting with ns :rolfl:

rdio

you did put a snorkel on that ? is that a Schnitzer logo on the kidney ?

they have four legs and are not made of wood - yes they are edible

last season they were able to morph into frogs, there was enough water all the time. this season no luck so far, the water always disappears when the tadpoles have reached around 20mm. my frogs are morphed tadpoles from up there.

Whistling Brown Tree Frogs and trees down here in Central Otago. there is a little pond, actually it is more like a puddle, up Mt. Buster Road (road not suitable for cars) surrounded by tussock and other more or less dry looking stuff. no trees for miles, absolutely no trees. the puddle does dry out very fast if there is not enough rain (I showed a picture in another thread). as soon as there is some rain and some water is building up there will be lots of brown tree frog spawn overnight. I have never seen or heard a frog up there but evidently they are there. it get's really hot up there and also very cold from one day to the other but those little brown tree frogs must have acclimated very well to the harsh conditions. no trees at all but they are there and they survive. strange little buggers.

Litoria - never have I, the Golden Bell and the Growling Grass have more common with the european rana ...

my Growling Grass Frogs (sounds more posh than Southern Bell Frogs) love the water. during the day they sunbath on plants and wood. they are used to it me approaching the enclosure from inside and stay where they are but when I walk by outside the windows they all jump and hide IN THE WATER (that's what they do in the wild as well) and during night time they all rest more or less in the water or on the ground at the edge of the water. mine do use the water every now and then to have a soak or a #2 despite I water them with a weed killer pump as well once or twice a day to keep the enclosure moist. (I only have a small, flat bowl with water in the enclosure for easy water change) I feed my frogs with all sorts of insects and moths I catch in the wild. flies from a fly trap. small worms out of the garden (funny to watch the little brown ones fighting for one worm each frog on one end of the worm (spaghetti-kiss ). isopods, beetles, mayflies, stoneflies, damselflies (the red and blue small dragonfly look-a-likes) and last but not least crickets (note to myself - must order a new lot). the Growling Grass Frogs will get freshly morphed brown frogs when they are ready (not cruel, that's what they do in the wild as well) I don't feed them meal worms (they are too fat with barely any nutrition and can make the frogs constipated). don't feed your frogs only flies and meal worms, they may even start to breed if fed properly.

I'm not saying this is the reason but it is an interesting read: http://www.colorado.edu/eeb/facultysite ... tions.html
