shadoh Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I thought about getting a pair, but keeping them cool in the summer would be too much of a hassle... Also, there is the matter of starting up ANOTHER tank.... I'm more than happy to sit back and admire your little trio's antics! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 True, I forgot about the heat! Last summer, it was like a nightmare... and you are in Brisbane... what's wrong with another tank aye though? Oh well, maybe one day you'll decide to get a pair of these little marshmellows! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Sarah, I don't think I will get any, I can't afford a chiller Maybe when I get righ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 When you get righ? No worries - I read typonese. The bigger their tank is, the easier it is to keep cool, the cool water spreads. Just a thought - get a massive tank for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) Witnessed a most terrible thing yesterday afternoon! I gave Sonriente this massive worm, and Banana saw it.. and tried to take it - but ATE ONE OF HIS GILLS! Was a bit shocking, got it all on video too! The video was really good quality, but when I uploaded it, it went all funny... but you can see anyway. Edit: Video didn't embed.

Fletch Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 That is a bit strange.........so she will recover?? Banana doesn't much around with his food, does he......lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Sonriente seems unaffected, it was only a little chunk.. and it should grow back quickly. This morning, they are friends again, hugging and playing as always. No, Banana doesn't.. and Tenedor is the feisty one out of the three! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 It was soo cute until Banana turned it into a horror movie Lucky they can regenerate body parts, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I know, naughty Banana! It is very lucky. Not sure how I would go housing those monsters together if they couldn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Awww hope Sonriente's gill grows back I must admit, I burst out laughing when you gasped *lol* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I think it will! Oi, I was pretty shocked. There was blood too, but it didn't come up in the vid. Stop laughing, you would have screamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Aww poor Sonriente. I wouldn't have screamed I would have gasped :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 He seems fine though! Past month or so, he has really settled in from getting him - before he wouldn't eat. He still only eats live worms though. Yeah you would have - so stop laughing. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I have to admit to a giggle just at that moment, but I laughed more when I realised Banana had a stupid grin on his face with a little feathery gill sticking out the corner of his mouth. Just like a Sylvester and Tweetie cartoon! Classic! Plus, the camera work... to and fro... perfect! Glad to hear Soriente is coping with the trim. Very cute to see these guys in action too!

Sarah Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Hehe, yeah, when I was feeding them worms, I'm in the tank shoulder deep, while holding the camera with the other hand. Hence the to and fro! Thanks Paul, Sonriente seems fine thankfully. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Tenedor has moved back in with the boys, and has settled in. They are great friends, yet not quite signs of breeding yet. Maybe after the next waterchange. Tenedor loves the sand, and has been walking all over it. Plump with eggs! Banana - Sonriente doing some sort of weird sit-up thing.

Sarah Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Found a delightful surprise in my axie tank last night... I counted 6 axolotl sperms! Not quite sure which male they were from, but I have my suspicions *looks at Sonriente*. Now just to wait to see if Tenedor picked any up! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
