Dookie is in luuuuurve, he decided to drop a few spermatores around the tank for Buoy last night! :P

The lucky lady and the loved-up fool: (love the size difference :D )

One of his many ‘presents’:

I vacuumned them up later on but a couple had vanished, so we’ll see if she was receptive and picked any up.

Just to follow up on my last post, Dookie has settled in well with the ladies and appears to have quite a soft spot for Buoy! :D

Not for me, for me today was a day off work (although I feel more exhausted than when I am at work!). No, it was a big day for my ‘little’ axolotl, Dookie!

I spent a good part of 4/5 hours clearing the main tank, retying and clipping the plants and generally tidying. Because the filter on the axolotl tank is so good, I rarely have to do a thorough clean on the axolotl tank and typically do a small water change each weekend.

After my thorough clean I gave my axolotls (and the cat, and me) a bit of chicken each, which as an afterthought, wasn’t particularly the right order to do so in, but we all enjoyed it anyway.

Once the axolotls were full (and Milo was begging for more), I plopped Dookie into the big tank. And he promptly shot off into Boof, scaring the bejebas out of her. Not the best first move really..

Dookie is currently sitting in one corner, recovering from the ‘trauma’ (pansy) and Boof is hanging out in the plants (literally) above Buoy while she is oblivious to the newbie and sitting under the log ornament.

Should be interesting to see what happens once they decide to start moving about again! :P
