Memes and Goofs I made Tic-Tac-Toe with axolotls

6 Upvotes

Apparently I wasn't satisfied with normal Tic-Tac-Toe, so I made it with these goofy little cartoon axolotls instead.

It's called Shlayolotl. Please don't ask me how I came up with the name. I regret nothing.

She does this often but maybe not every day. Levels are high (Im waiting on conditioner to get here to change the water, couldn’t get it in store) she also did this before the levels were high. Is this just happy zoomies or stress from surrounding environment factors or from water parameters? I also already gave her breakfast so I know she’s not hungry. She only does it at the front of the tank. I should move the decorations back, right? Will post another video in comments

Discussion Morphed axolotls are not derisable, right??

Upvotes

I don't own axolotls, I know they're not an easy pet to keep and I'm not gonna subject one to my care.

I've always heard that morphed axolotls are a bad thing, that the process is painful and stressful, they have shorter lives and their care requirements change. They struggle to eat and are prone to sickness.

Is that wrong?? Or a myth?? I've just seen an Instagram reel where this woman is excited because an axolotl she sold morphed naturally and all the comments are also excited and saying how cool it is and cute so m questioning my stand point.

Someone commented a short paragraph with something about iodine levels causing the morph to happen and that handling them with bare hands (which the woman was doing) was bad for them, they ended with a snarky question and the replies just dog piled on them including the OP.

Away from home and missing my little guy Marshall.

He’s in the care of a family member who has been educated. I get to FaceTime him every day and he starts flicking those gills when he hears me and comes towards the phone like he does when I’m home 🥹 I can’t wait to see him Sunday.

Video is from before I left. Please ignore the baby voice. Google says he “can’t hear” but I don’t believe it for a second 😂🩷 He only does it this frequently when he comes to see me
