I have a very tiny axolotl named Peewee. I raised him from the time he was an egg (hatched 11/13/14), and he has siblings that are close to 8 inches yet he is only 3 inches. I have two other dwarfs (one with short toe syndrome), but he is much tinier than them. Has anyone seen an axolotl like him? I've tried doing research but couldn't find any other axolotls that look like him.

Looks like a dwarf to me. If you put it next to a sibling you should be able to see that the head is about the same size but the body is shortened.
Here's my dwarf and a sibling:

I just wanted to say OH MY GOSH I LOVE THOSE DWARF AXOLOTLS.
 
Well I'm in the UK , Greater Manchester but I'm struggling to find an albino Axolotl for my wife ( not swapping by the way LOL ) . These Dwarf ones sound amazing though !
 
hmm i don't think it is a dwarf honestly.. heres a pic of my young axi that is now recognized as a dwarf...

It could just be a female, they tend to be shorter and stubby. I guess you will have to wait and see. :D
 
I know it's been 5 years 😅 but any update on this little baby?

    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?
