BettaObsessed Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Kids have been nagging for over a year (probaby closer to 2) for another one and saw these almost half price at a not-so-lps. The issue had always been that my son wanted a yellow one and I wanted a black so we have compromised and got white After much discussion they agreed on the name Rocko. The were each coming up with names and we were going to vote on a couple of them. Some of the ideas were Frankenstein, Drop Dead Fred which was shortened to Freddie, William, Mr Freckle. Then one of them looked in the bag and he looked like he was dancing so they called him Rocko. We live in the Rockingham area which is also called Rocko so I thought we could call it Bogan for short I haven't worked out yet whether it is male or female. They couldn't tell at the shop but I thought it might be female? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BettaObsessed Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 After some research I have found out Rocko is a male. I have discovered these guys are better of being hand fed so I often have to count to make sure I still have 10 fingers after he mistakes them for his food. I was a little worried yesterday when he was just sitting at the top but he seems ok again today so all good. He keeps us entertained :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongbean Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Nothing like watching your fish and having a small freak out over the lack of movement lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 He's a lovely albino! Definitely a male. I always look at these guys and think they could not make up thier minds on wether to become a lizard or a fish! I have no idea what sex it is either. Axolotls are neotenic salamanders, which are amphibians (same class as frogs and toads). Neither a fish or a lizard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
