Neil, you have some INCREDIBLE color variations!
 
One of them HAS to be called chocolotle! :p They are gorgeous though
 
hey Neil, with all the colours of axies that you have, which one is your favorite? and what size tank do u have so many in? oh unless u just googled the pic lol.. :)
 
cool i had no idea there were so many.
 
that red-ish coloured one, next to the yellow one, is that a common colour in australia? it's realy pretty.
 
My god, I think I've fallen in love with the copper one in the middle with the lovely reddish gills!
Such lovely Axies Neil.
 
The axolotl just to left of the golden albino is a dark coloured olive shown in the photo below. They seem to be pretty common around Brisbane but seemingly not so common in the rest of Australia. Leucisitics seem very rare around Brisbane although I did see a pretty poorly looking one at the weekend.

I think my favourite has to be the big pinkish/grey female but they all fascinate me in their own way.

Most of the axolotls above have their own tank but they are usually on the small size. I also have a 3 ft breeder tank and two 2 ft tanks.

I have to say I love the colours on your 'grey' too
She's gorgeous!

From what I've heard Leucisitics pretty had to find anywhere in Aus.
Although I remember seeing a baby one a few years ago.
 
LOVE that big grey girl too :)
I've seen plenty of Leucistics in the few stores I frequent here in Perth. The olive is also pretty common in those stores. I've contemplated getting one but never had the extra space for them at the time :rolleyes:

    Hello. I’m looking for some input. My axolotl is about 7 months old. I came home and her gills are completely white. I was reading that they do shed around this age. Could this be why her gills are white? The ph is 6.5-7. Nitrates are 80 Nitrites 0.5

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu

    I believe my axolotl is constipated. I got him 8 days ago and have not seen any poop in his tank. I have a 20 gallon tank. No other tank mates. 2 hides and a bare bottom. I didn't feed him the last two days. His belly looks swollen and dark in color. I believe it is the food you can see. I fed him blood worms and soft quick sinking axoloty pellets. I tested his water today. Ph was 7.6. The nitrite and nitrate were both zero. The ammonia was 0.25 ppm. I was advised to cycle my tank due to the lack of nitrate. I added Seachem stability 10 ml to my tank yesterday and 5 ml today. I have a tank chiller. The water temp is set at 64. He is still active, but his tail floats up when he is moving about the tank. I am on the fence about fridging him. I also don't know how long to go without feeding him. I don't want to harm him. Please help asap. Thank you.
