Hi i am new to axolotls....My 15 year old daughter decided it was the perfect gift for my birthday?? We have had gold fish for 20 years and moved to tropicals last year. Now the Salamander is a whole new ball game. "Felix"is golden yellow with white spots and I think pale eyes. He is quite cute and growing on me...I am under a lot of pressure to keep him happy as my daughter bought him for me with her own money. I also mind children everyday in my home (family day care) so Felix is a great source of interest for them too !
