Axolotle colours

[Catherine1]

hi everyone.
just wondering, how many differant clolours do axis come in? i know there's black, yellow, albino (white), and a dark gold. is that all?

As well as the colours mentioned here - Axolotls - Genetics and Colour there are also Olive + Copper (http://www.caudata.org/forum/f46-be...-axolotl-free-all/75753-australian-olive.html) + GFP (which are any of the colours shown on the 1st link, as far as I know, but they glow under blacklight / UV light).
There are possibly more too, but the 1s mentioned are common, to varying degrees + dependant on the country.

My god, I think I've fallen in love with the copper one in the middle with the lovely reddish gills!
Such lovely Axies Neil.

The axolotl just to left of the golden albino is a dark coloured olive shown in the photo below. They seem to be pretty common around Brisbane but seemingly not so common in the rest of Australia. Leucisitics seem very rare around Brisbane although I did see a pretty poorly looking one at the weekend.

I think my favourite has to be the big pinkish/grey female but they all fascinate me in their own way.

Most of the axolotls above have their own tank but they are usually on the small size. I also have a 3 ft breeder tank and two 2 ft tanks.

I have to say I love the colours on your 'grey' too
She's gorgeous!

From what I've heard Leucisitics pretty had to find anywhere in Aus.
Although I remember seeing a baby one a few years ago.

LOVE that big grey girl too
I've seen plenty of Leucistics in the few stores I frequent here in Perth. The olive is also pretty common in those stores. I've contemplated getting one but never had the extra space for them at the time
