Simply is not the same place without you, Al. Welcome home.
Thanks Pat, Missed you guys too.
i have a couple of my f1's from the wild green X Blue Snakeskins Domestics that are my main focus... going to F2 on these. Then I have some domestics as well..brilliant blue turq Pair , scorpion snake pair, and fine line snakeskins pairs. They all are relevant to my F1 crosses.. These Domestics are actually descended from the last batch of contest fish we ran hereon Simply . I still have the Dad of that pair too.

Thanks Pat.. I do sort of have them still. My group did not fair as well while I was dealing with all those "aging parent" issues. Theres a few that I hope will breed.. they are smallish but healthy.. its not genetics ,. its my poor care at a critical time. I may have to take a number the next time you breed yours from my group.. my F1 wild green fry and domestics weathered the times fine.

Please take these pics with a large grain of salt.. My tanks are really old and the lighting is really bad....
All the fish here are Homebred....I have not been able to buy discus in years so working with what I have.
These are my F1's wild green X Blue snakeskin..

How fast to axolotls grow, Al? It seems like a relatively big creature and for some reason I have it in my head that it takes them a year to get to adult size.
Axolotls can breed at about 1 year .. these ones in the pics are 1 year old... They will continue to grow though and get bigger the next year or two.. My son has one of our first pairs and they are about 3x the size of these guys. much heavier too. They really are fun creatures, but hard to breed if you don't know how to work with hatching Brine shrimp. They are practically blind initially and the food has to bump into them! After awhile they can smell food as well. We raised our on live BBS,, then transitioned to our Discus Chow which they really liked. Now they are on various large sinking pellets.
tell you whats super nice about them.. No fancy filters ..just sponges, no heaters! They like cool water. Talk about saving on electric bills!

Al, you've seen mine and I've seen yours. I do believe we should do some trading back and forth in the future.

Al, Welcome back and Happy New Year.

That blue snakeskin with the yellow eye looks vaguely familiar
