I used to have an albino axolotl called Douglas! Can't remember what happened to him though - I was pretty young!

Do you know how much they cost??

Catch them in your river! Or not you live in wisconsin.

See Swimz, Not even snakeheads want to be there.

Maybe they do though i'm not sure.

We've got mudpuppies, tiger salamanders, and marbled salamanders. I used to get them from my aunt's abandoned rock kory. (I really don't know how to spell it, but a place where they take rock out of a cliff for commercial use) If you flip over some of the rocks in the river near it you'd fine a ton of salamanders!! I actually used to have a mudpuppy, when I was little. I don't know where they found it, though.

Why don't you do a local biotope?

Because he can see that anytime? Not trying to be rude, Just...

Local biotopes let you get a close-up look at local ecology, much closer than you can get from just looking at the pond. I want to do one someday. They can be absolutely gorgeous, and besides that, you can get a lot of stuff for free.

Good point. If you ask me though I would rather have something more exotic. Especially if you can only have what? 2 tanks now?

Swimz. Im voting for a male and female Irr

I could do a biotope, but basically the only things that would fit would be rock bass, gobies, painted turtles, and crayfish. BORING. Yah, I wish I could do irrubesco, but I don't want to be shot at from the puffer gods. A mudpuppy is like the photo I posted, only it has a skinnier face and is a more purple color.

I think a turtle would be adorable!

They're so hard to catch. I used to have a snapping turtle. His name was Fralphy. He was really little, and he never snapped at you. He loved earthworms. I loved him. Then my parents said it was time for him to go. I let him go at the lake nearby. My room really stunk then.

Heh, I had a snapping turtle too but mine got up to 30 lbs and was a bear to "let go". He was beautiful but at his size he was too dangerous. Ended up tagging him letting him go in the backwaters around here.
