Does anyone know the rates at which axolotls grow? It'd be nice to have a way to correlate age with lengths or weights - similar to growth charts for kids. If I can get enough information, I could throw something together to have a graphic representation for everybody.
 
Mine usually average around an inch a month. It is variable with tank parameters though. Stress levels, frequency of feedings, nutrition, etc.
I did charts of two of mine from egg to adult, it's fun :)
 
You can´t really produce an accurate chart...you could at most, provide vague ranges of age with very limited accuracy. You could have a large 6 month old axolotl twice the size of a tiny, malnourished 2 year old.
Even given the same conditions (temps, diet, etc) you could get significant variations due to genetics, although it would be considerably more reliable.
