Sarah Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 *lol* Love that Shadoh! Anyways, Aristotle Axolotl got his revenge - Who's the outsider now? That's what happens when you pick on the cute. Since then, Aristotle Axolotl is prancing about, thinking he is higher than Banana.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 You wouldn't think that you had so many problems trying to get him to eat now! You must love sitting there watching their antics :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I know! This was him a month or so AFTER I got him and he was eating - Now he is so healthy. I do love sitting watching them. Have placed my bed so they are the first thing I see when I wake up - always get up in a good mood. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Thanks Ness! No fancy camera, just a little point & shoot, but they love the camera. Hehe, you may have to get one.. or three now. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrefly Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I think you need to rename the thread, Banana and Friends, now. Absolutely love these guys.. they look so happy and well cared for.

Sarah Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hehe, shall do other-Sarah, good idea. Love the smiles too. They have such big personalities, and seem to know me (as the bringer of food), they come and wave hello whenever they see me! Cute Ness, have seen that before.. makes a nice desktop background. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Decided to use the tub again for food, but put it on it's side in front of them this time - so they only had to walk forward and open their mouths. Banana & Tenedor had a peek first - Oohh no, not this again! Then Banana was like, I'm soo outahere! Don't ask what Tenedor is doing, she's odd - even for an axie. Aristotle Axolotl showed Banana how it was done - Banana is like - oi, you got it last time! He FINALLY decided to walk in - Rest later aye, five photo limit. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Well Banana found his way in, snapped up one pellet.. but oh, YOU HAVE TO LOOK DOWN FOR FOODABLES BANANA! Banana is soo selfish sometimes - he like pushed little Aristotle Axolotl out of the container! So mean - Aristotle Axolotl was like "Wateva I tots dnt care ur so lame n borin tat u look lyke a cheseburga" Then went and hung with Tenedor, Banana would hate that. I think Aristotle Axolotl is the smartest out of the three, Banana tries, but is a little ... not-smart .. Tenedor could not care less, she just looks pretty. *lol* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Tenedor attempting to be a rapper. Word. All together - Sonriente - Don't like the light for that tank, really he is melanoid, a dark black.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Woops, Aristotle Axolotl is a little pig - and a little chubby with this plastic container.. hehe, so cute (only slightly chubby). :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 YAY! Sonriente finally ate a worm today. Have had him about a week and a half, and has been refusing to eat. So happy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Haha, well he didn't seem weak like Aristotle Axolotl was - he could barely support his own weight poor thing! Sonriente just seemed to be settling in, and wasn't super skinny or anything. He appears to be a little frightened of my hands for some reason. Not sure what I did there.. Thanks Busman Paul. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Not only are you a Ninja Sarah, you are also an Axolotl Whisperer! I guess he finally got hungry enough to eat something. At least he didn't have half a tank of gravel in his belly like poor Aristotle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Not only are you a Ninja Sarah, you are also an Axolotl Whisperer! Failing to see how.. but OK. Yeah, he must have been hungry. He was in a bare-bottomed tank, so no gravel. Very good. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Sonriente has moved in with the rest. Seem to be getting along well, and is following Tenedor around the tank like a puppy. :giggle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Found a lovely surprise last night - spermaphore! (I'm exited OK.. yes I did take photos.. leave me alone). I was unsure of Banana's gender - he is a definite male. Sonriente is also male, so I'm unsure of who is the father (Tenedor mother, Aristotle Axolotl still a baby). WELL, past few days, Banana has been sidling up to Tenedor - ^ Typical behaviour just before breeding I've read. Sonriente has been doing the same. So either could be the father.. maybe both, we'll have to see. NOW, anybody good with axie genetics? I don't have a clue what the little lotls will be. BUT, I've read that with the first batch of axies, the larvae die at a young age.. so hopefully it won't happen, but I have to keep that in mind and not get tooooo exited. Oh too late. YAY! (I also have a bunch of old pics I haven't put up, been slack.. will get it it later). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Some old-ish pics - She was sick of photos - They also have fungus. Salt baths have been helping, but I'm hoping the stress on breeding won't make it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Congrats Sarah, hope they do survive. I just love looking at pics of your axies. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks Shadoh. As do I. How cute would the little lotls be! Sad pics - fungus. This was taken um... about half a week ago (?) Looking MUCH better now, still not completely cured as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 How do you cure fungus in axies? Is it much the same as fish treatment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
