Hi,
I recently noticed that axolotl have many colors i have seen black,blue,purple,red,silver,brown,pink,white,yellow,gold and green i think thats it.
do you know any more colors they might have?
 
When you say purple , pink and blue I hope you don't mean the bright coloured ones, because those are terribly and inhumanely dyed. The main colours are wild type, albino, golden albino, leucistic (pinkish with black eyes and reddish gills) and melanoid (black). There are a lot of variations of these colours, sometimes certain strains of melanoids can appear blueish, silverish, and purplish. Also chimeras are cool, half one colour half the other (usually wild/leucistic)

this site has to offer many colors and types of axolotls.
do you think they paint them?
look in the gallery off the site: www. theaxolotl .net
 
Nope they are all natural! The bright green one is a gfp, that isn't technically natural but was created so that they could track regrowth and people like them so they breed them. Usually ones that are dyed blue or bright pink or purple and they dip them in acid first to remove slime coat and its really cruel.

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
