Great news, my axolotl Nessie is now in his new and improved aquarium. This one is a 60 litre tank. I also bought a few new plants with heavier bases on them, as, following best practice, there is no gravel in this tank. His log has of course made the move with him.
Most importantly, I have taken the precaution of putting styrofoam underneath this aquarium, as you can see in this picture. That will even out any irregularities and avoid a repeat of that last disaster.
Most exciting of all, I have found a wife for Nessie! This is Cordelia. I saw her in the pet shop when I was buying the tank and had to have her. She captured my heart very quickly, much like Nessie did, with her playful antics. She is lovely and healthy looking, and at 24 cm long, she makes Nessie look quite small.
This picture shows Cordelia being gradually adjusted to the temperature of the tank. The two of them are getting on beautifully. Within the first few minutes of meeting, Nessie came over and layed his head on her back. It was so cute, like he was cuddling her.
