I just added a new baby to my axolotl tank. Just informed s/he is a melanoid albino... name it Marble. So lovely just like my white albino, Snow.

How beautiful, never seen a melanoid albino before. Are you a breeder? :)

Hi,

I know melanoid albinos are gorgeous. I'm not a breeder yet but that's the plan. For now, I do buy and sell and raise axies from eggs. I currently have 4 Melanoid Albinos that I'm selling if you're interested. :)
 
I would love to order a couple from you, but unfortunately I live in Cape Town, South Africa >_<

Here it's legal to keep axolotls as pets, but not to sell them or make money off them in any way due to the CITES environmental laws regarding them. Axolotls are in a grey area in our local laws ( I think because a lot of people don't actally know what they are!) I got mine through my sister who is studying at the Evolutionary Sciences Institute in Johannesburg. She cares for four axies which reside at the Institute. I really would love to become a breeder too one day if it's possible :D

The two of us have been chatting to people to see if we can find a way get some more into the country legally, but it seems it's only possible through an avenue of scientific research which is understandable. I'm not sure how I'd feel seeing axies in pet stores, I've heard some bad stories abroad.

Aww I see. Well I hope you do find a way to be able to buy some axies. I usually just sell locally around here in New York and ship sometimes but not sure how it works when it comes to shipping internationally. I hope you find some axies though. :)

    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!

    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.
