Yesterday I went to a shopping center and bump into a pet shop, then saw some cool freshwater fishes.....but the thing attract most of my eyes is Axolotl!!
I then had a suggestion for this Freshwater Aquarium, since there are only fish-talk around here, I would suggest Jim put some crittier, and Axolotl is my first suggestion!!

I guess some ppl dunno what's Axolotl, but they r commonly keep in the Freshwater Aquarium tank.
This is how it looks like:


The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is a large salamander native to Mexico. It has external gills, regenerative powers, and can live and breed in a larval form. The name is derived from the Aztec god Xolotl, the god of games who could turn himself into an axolotl to escape his enemies. Because axolotls can regenerate legs, tails, heart muscles, and even spinal cords, researchers have long studied them in hopes of learning how to restore diseased heart tissue or damaged or amputated limbs in humans. A very amazing critter eh?
some more pix of it



Well, what do u think Jim? is it possible to add into ur Freshwater Aquarium?
