Axolotls, otherwise known as Mexican Walking Fish, Native to Mexico

BLACK AXOLOTL 15CM
The Axolotl (or "Walking Fish") are very popular pets for an unheated aquarium or large bowl. They mainly feed by smell as they have poorly developed eyesight, earthworms being one of their favourite foods. If kept with fish, ensure the fish do not bite the axolotl's gills, and alternately, not be small enough for the axolotl to eat them. The Axolotl is a neotenic amphibian: unlike related species they do not metamorphose into a salamander, instead remaining/breeding in the "juvenile" stage. They can grow to about 20-25cm and are also able to regenerate damaged limbs and gills.

MudSkippers - Native to Australia

MUDSKIPPER 6CM (BRACKISH)

Mudskippers are very unusual looking gobies, adapted to living amongst tidal mangrove swamps of northern Australia, at low tide they can be seen crawling or hopping over the exposed mudflats. They make great aquarium subjects, preferring a partially filled (slightly brackish) aquarium, landscaped so that the fish have plenty of room both above and below water. Mudskippers accept most foods and prefer to feed out of water (place the food in a shallow dish for easier maintenance.) Maximum size 10-15cm.

FRESHWATER SOLE 5CM
Freshwater Sole are an interesting oddity, adapted to living on the bottom with both eyes on one side of the body and with perfect camouflage. Easily kept with similar sized peaceful species, they prefer sinking foods, particularly live blackworm.

SPINEY EEL 10CM
Native to south-east Asia, the Spiney Eel is a popular oddball which appeals to many people looking for something a bit different. They appreciate cave-like hiding places and may burrow into the substrate if frightened. Spiney Eels will eat most frozen or live foods, with bloodworm and blackworm both favoured. They usually grow to about 15-20cm, but can grow larger in the wild. They can be kept with most community fishes except for fish such as small tetras (these might be eaten, especially by particularly large Spiney Eels.)

Billabong Bugs (Triops australiensis - Aussie Triops. ) - Pack

Includes - water conditioner, eggs, food, feeding scoop and care manual

Triops australiensis - Aussie Triops.
Buy the Billabong Bugs™ Kit, Just add water and you will have INSTANT living dinosaurs!

Just add water and you will have INSTANT living creatures. Billabong Bugs™ spring to life and grow literally before your very eyes, doubling in size every day. As they grow, watch these three-eyed creatures perform underwater AQUA-BATICS - they loop to loop, chase each other around the tank, and swim upside down whilst waving to you with their strange little tentacles.

Billabong Bugs™ are actually crustaceans (a relative of crabs, hermit crabs and yabbies) known to scientists as Triops australiensis. Billabong Bugs™ are PREHISTORIC creatures and are sometimes referred to as living Dinosaurs or Dinosaur shrimp. They are closely related to the now extinct Trilobite, an ancient ocean dweller that is often found fossilized. This is another reason that Billabong Bugs™ are sometimes called living fossils or mini dinosaurs.

They first appeared on the Earth when all the continents that we know today were joined together in one giant land mass known as Pangaea. As large pieces of Pangaea floated away they formed new continents. One of them was called Gondwanaland, which included Australia, Antarctic, Africa and South America.

Why did Billabong Bugs™ outlive the Dinosaurs? Billabong Bugs™ produce a very special egg that can actually journey through time! It’s called “suspended animation”. The official name Scientists have given this process is “Cryptobiosis” which is Latin for the words “hidden life”.

WATCH THEM GROW…
When you add your Magic BugDust™ to the water, the eggs begin to hatch, releasing the developing embryos. The little Billabong Bug™ embryos quickly grow (within several hours) into a "nauplius" larval stage, which is a filter feeding period for your Bugs. This means that they will spend most of their time swimming about in the water. At this stage, the nauplii are also attracted to a bright light, so if you hold the light source next to the container, the nauplii will swim toward the light making them easier to see.

Baby Bugs quickly moult (shed their exoskeleton exposing a larger exoskeleton underneath) through several larval stages, and finally develop into juvenile Bugs, which then migrate to the bottom of the tank. At this stage, the juveniles have the general horse shoe shape that they will retain throughout the rest of their life. The juveniles leave "tracks" in the mud, little lines that are indicative of their "searching" through the soil for things that they can eat. Your Billabong Bugs™ will eventually grow to about five centimetres (but they can get to nine centimetres) and live for approximately 5 to 12 weeks. Size and life span depends on how well they are fed and the temperature of their water.
