UPDATE
I have ended up with two females and 1 male, they are all showing signs of maturity, with male cresting up and tail wafting.
That means that[ as with other cresteds Ive raised] they have gone from egg to maturity in less than a year
 
latest pics, will try get one of the male with his developing crest soon, as hes a shy one and hides each time he sees a camera lol

I'm not normally that fond of albinos, but there's no denying he is a beautiful, truly stunning creature!
 
very unclear pic but best I can get, of male fully crested up

I was wondering, does he still have the silver/white stripe on his tail like normal cristatus? Its hard to tell from the pictures.
 
I didn't realise this was two years ago mate? Where has the time gone?
Have you had any joy with these breeding yet?
 
I was looking for this thread the other week, didn't think to look here!
The pictures don't really do him justice, I don't much care for colour 'morphs', but he is beautiful in the flesh, and naturally occurred from normal coloured parents as I understand it.
 
Yes they came from normal coloured parents.
And yes i have eggs from the albinos but a very limited amount were layed a month or so ago then the laying stopped for some reason.
I am not having the best of luck this year, my laotriton only layed one, yes one egg then stopped.
The crested eggs are now larvae and growing well
 
The small amount of eggs layed and raised are now juvenile newts?
I am giving them a short while observing them in a terrestrial set up to make sure they are eating etc then I will be putting them up for sale.

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!
