Cordelia

 This lovely and rather fat axolotl at the bottom of the picture is my new axolotl Cordelia.  She is a lovely big healthy looking female, and makes Nessie look quite small next to her.  This is a picture of the two of them eating blood worms, as little (including Nessie!) gets in between this girl and her food.  One big swish of her tail is enough to send him flying, so I take the precaution of feeding them at the same time at opposite ends of the tank.

Like Nessie, she is very active.  She also enjoys swimming or walking through the log in the tank.  I rarely see Nessie do this but Cordelia does quite a lot. 

I had been looking for a female for some time, to be a wife/companian for Nessie.  When I saw Cordelia, she was the biggest and most active axolotl in the petshop, so I knew she would be a great match for my active boy Nessie! 
They get on great, (as long as he doesn't get between her and her food!) so I think I did some great matchmaking.
