    Dear Lord,

    Please let this in no way be connected with g8ina's recent thread about his flexi-cystoscopy. Thank you. Amen.

    As an added bonus, if you feed them after midnight then they turn into gremlins!

    Re: And we have over 100 of the little critters !!

    More, updated, now 12-14mm long, still got around 100. Some dark, some mottled and some gold, but the best are the albinos !!!

    1- darkish mottled


    2- gold, showing external gills


    3- another gold or albino


    4- albino showing stomach contents


    They are a lot of hard work right now, Sally is Mom, and has to hatch brine shrimps in another tank to feed em, and she also has to suck up the dregs to keep the tank clean...
    Cheers, David

    Re: And we have over 100 of the little critters (NEW pics)

    Axolotl update, now most of em are around 2cm, and I caught the gold eating a bloodworm, nice cap of the gill structure and legs also now sprouting nicely -



    This mottled is possibly the biggest of the bunch. You can see he's been eating brine shrimp eggs and bloodworms -



    Sadly we now have only about 50 left, but there's still a nice profit margin
    Cheers, David
