Question: The Elusive Blue Axolotl

I think that´s just an optical effect because of the light or the quality of the camera. There is no such thing as a blue axolotl, but they can appear blueish with certain lights.
That one is certainly just a regular, good ole wild type. An unlucky one, though...since it has goldfish as tankmates....tsk tsk.
 
Azhael is right, it's just the lighting that's making it seem "blue."
 
I agree this is just a lighting or colour balance effect of the camera adjustment. I too do not like the setup and the thermometer is hard to read but seems to be in the high 20s Celsius, much too hot for both axolotls and goldfish.

At least there is no gravel!
 
My melanoid looks blue if she stands at a certain spot of the tank that's just the right distance from the light.
 
Yeah, definetily not blue. It´s a black axie but the camera isn´t great so it´s making it look blue. Blue axies = impossible ;)

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
