Hi :) I saw some great looking young-uns at Parramatta Westfield, but sadly was just visiting (I'm from Brisbane). Are any of these stores you've got yours from part of a chain or something that might be found up here? Any help in finding a place in Brisbane would be muuuuuuuch appreciated. |

 What about if they are really pretty like Erzebet?
Indeed nice color but the greens are comman down here.......
so i guess that the greens are far and few between up there.... so in that case i would have payed that much... 
or i would have just traded for it like i do down here with the pet shops

How could you say no to that gorgeous little face?
Erzebet - we paid $ 28 for her because we had never seen an Axolotl like her before.

Hi,
I would say this is pretty expensive considering i live on the opposite side of the mountains and i can get them for about $18.00 each it also consider's what colour they are and if thier i good health though, so watch out!

Do you remember who you spoke to (or what they looked like)? I'll give them a good kick up the bum!
We cant be having people getting dud advice, its just not right :)
Are you affiliated with Pet Central in some way Callatya?

Edmund was purchased this afternoon at Companion Pets in Emerton. He is huge, one of the biggest we have ever seen but only cost $ 19.95.
Companion pets also told us they will soon be relocating to Penrith.

Hi,
Does anyone knows how to send Axolotl overseas? Is it ok to send them overseas? I'm actually quite interested on them but find it really hard to get them in my country. I currently own 1 female white young axo and would like to get another male and try to breed them. Thank you for your help! :) |

I'll grab the addy for you :)
Do be careful, the tank they are in is very "RESCUE ME!" and you might not get out without buying one! *lol*
Their SW pond is something to marvel at tho ;) certainly something i'd like to have!
Found another pet store on the weekend. Blacktown Pet & Produce on 5th ave. Its up the back of a warehouse, quite hidden.
Supercheap live plants (Apons, anubias, crypts, stem plants, etc) great selection of fish, although one was painted.
They had a good range of oddball critters including a LARGE gold axie for about $14.95 i think.
He would have eaten Barnaby in one single gulp, so he had to stay there :P

Oh, and if you guys see any small (4") green/wild colour or leucistics around, could you let me know? I am beginning to thing Barnaby is a tad lonely all by himself.

The tanks might be clean Callatya but the price is shocking! And the advice and customer service from the staff is worse!
Though I have to tell you I was at Wet & Dry Pets at Kingswood yesterday buying crickets for the tank of death and I had to hold my tongue, lucky for the staff there that I had my mother with me or I would have put them in there place. 
Before getting the crickets I did a quick sweep of the store and lingered at the axy tank to consider whether another axy could squish into our excessively populated tank of death. The decision was made easy when I looked in the tank with its 33 degree temperature, $20 for tiny axys with legs missing and skinny little things that I wanted to rescue from the stores uncaring staff. 
I stood at the counter and a man was buying a little yellow axy, the female staff member told this guy that the only thing axys eat is bloodworms, then proceeded to tell him that the axys limb wouldn't grow back and that the axy loves a warm tank. No wonder their axy tank looked so bad, the staff are so misinformed about axys it was frightening. Now usually I would set the person straight, more concerned about the care of the axy than the pride of the sales person. But the guy got out of the store and into his car too quickly for me to try and help him save that little axys life.

The most depressing conditions that I have seen would be over at a pet shop, which unfortunately I cannot remember the name of at the moment, but is over at Doonside. The tanks were slimey and way too warm, the axys were skinny with limbs missing and the prices were sky high!

Shy and I both have to learn now to stop buying Axolotls as we now have 9 in our 4 foot tank, it's looking pretty crowded in there at feeding time.

Decent size, decent price, OK health, but know what you are looking for BEFORE you go in.
Pet central in Penrith has a nice selection of black and gold young'uns. Clean, no extra limbs or missing tals, and kept in a species tank so you dont have to worry about slime coat or gill damage :)
Havent checked out Bali Blue for quite a while. Tend to steer clear as their fish conditions depress me. Might duck in and see these axies tho. Perhaps the conditions have improved. :) |
