Fenriswolf Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Weird story for ya'll... And probably long and rambling by the time I'm done :lol: I've got 2 fishtanks; a wee 2' and a random-sized 200L. I got all excited and motivated to get fish and do it right (I will never get over the guilt of manslaughtering -hmmmm- my goldfish when I was little), but then kinda burnt out because I was trying to be perfect and just couldn't decide on anything! Anyway, I went and got some baby axolotls, which will get my big tank when they're big enough, and leaning towards maybe just a planted tank with a horde of WCMM for my 2'. So I get these tiny, tiny wee things. I've got my Daphnia (thanks, Dimsum!), nice big rocks and hiding places, along with an excessively fancy filter. Got a heater too, since it gets pretty cold here and I don't want their metabolism slowing down too much. :-? I put them in the tank and they disappear! I'm like, OK, they're tiny and the rocks are a good 10x their size. Give it a while and I'll see some. 6 weeks later and no movement. I pretty much give up on my axolotls, figuring I'll have a good search for tiny bodies, assuming their dead. They're not!!! I have at least one axolotl, perhaps double the size of when I got... it?... complete with front feet! So yeah, just as rambling as I suspected. Too lazy to edit. But my axolotls live! At least one! Excitement! And I'm spent :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharn Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 alans right :lol: if you got them when they didnt even have legs or leg buds its no wonder they got lost :lol: they sort of just sit there until they grow and make little jerky motions as they gulp for their foods. good to hear ya still got at least one, theyre awesome creatures (got five myself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenriswolf Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 He has prolly grown so well on a diet of bothers and/or sisters. They are like that. Alan 104 Yeah, I heard that :roll: I may have 2, since one I haven't seen was apparently looked bigger and whiter (they were meant to all be black but as I discovered it's pretty hard to tell when they're teeny). And while I don't want to only have one left, I find it kind of amusing. Or ironic perhaps? Oh well, at least they're not all dead :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
