Hello! this is my first post

so ive been raising about 230 baby axolotls for about a month now and theyre all roughly about 2 and a half inches long. the babies are bred from a wildtype mother and gfp leucistic father, and their color morphs turned out to be wildtype, golden albino, white albino (maybe a few leucistics?) and melanoids of every mentioned color morph, as well as some that are gfp.

so for those that sell... have any tips?

this is my first ever clutch and it wasn't planned! so im wondering how you guys that breed and sell axolotls sell them and distribute them. i've looked into and written down some local pet stores and ive told everybody that they're welcome to tell their friends if theyre interested.
any tips on shipping them as well?
and as far as i know they sell for usually around 15 US dollars? ive seen some for sale for way more though, but i know the price also depends on the color morph.

if you could answer any of my questions it would be GREATLY appreciated! :D thanks!
 
Oh, I can't wait to hear some suggestions, i'm in the same situation here in London - only with 30 axolotls, but really hope they can go to new homes soon. Good luck Ramen. L.

    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!

    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.
