GFP Axolotl VS normal axolotls

[mikeg]

was thinking of getting 3 more axolotls and was thinking of getting a couple GFP ones.

just that i heard the GFP axolotls die alot easier compared to normal axolotls


i wanted to get a golden, a wild, and a meloind but wasnt sure which gene to go with. when i recive them they will be only 3-5" long

Where did you hear that? It has not been my experience. I think their are lots of guesses about axolotl husbandry, behavior, and phenotypes.

 

[Wild TONY appeared!]

I haven't heard of them being weaker or more prone to die either. If you have a light on them all the time to make them shine that might stress them out. That's just a guess though, as I have no idea how much of the visible light spectrum they can see.

i sell baby axolotls around the gta and my buys said they have bought GFP ones and they died with in a month which worried me because i was going to get three of them.

when i get them is there any type of food i could feed them to calm them down or do somthing other than keep the lights off to help stress
