[Raechal]

Raechal, bigger fish often nip their delicate gills the sort of 'fluffy' part on them.

info for you

im shure i read somewhere there a mutant slamaner through human error

back in the 1830's some french scientists collected one in the exotics and not realising it was amphibious just took it home in a glass jar of water with limited breathing space it adapted to living under water and all axalots decend from this single one also if you slowly decrease the volume of water in thier tank (but leaving enough to submerge themselves) they can re develope into a land creature

PLEASE dont trust any of that infor but i read it on some random site, i would also like details of the tank temperature and water conditions they require as one of my lfs has one id love to take home

:edit: that site is amazing and i think im going to have to get another tank hehe 8)

umm they are cold water they would need a ph of about 7-8 and they dont need alot of space i have my 2 in 30ltrs and they are about 20cm they realy dont need alot

 

[samyboy]

would one in 12 litres be pushing it

i read labortries (sp) keep them in jars and they live quite happily
