Here are my three Axolotls!

The largest one is Ponyo; a 1.5 year old male luecistic. He's the largest one, with black eyes and red gills, shown in various ages.
Then I have Ruto, who is about 8 months old; female albino. She was quite underfed and wasn't provided adequate space before she came to me. She's improved a lot!
And lastly I have Nori, a two year old melanoid female. She was severely over bred her whole life and kept in the darkness. So her growth was very stunted! It appears her right arm was bitten off and partially grown back. When I got her she was emaciated, with her wounded, twisted arm, and bone exposed through a rotting tail :(
She's improved by leaps and bounds! Nice a plump, with feathery gills, and very interactive with me.

I had Ponyo from 2 months old; the other two were rescued recently.

All so cute! And Wooper was the Leucistic with purple markings? Sorry you lost him, he was definitely a unique fella.
 
Here's Flex, my melanoid juvie, flexing!

He disappeared without a trace the other day. Panicked, my bf and I started moving plants, hides, even looking around the floor to find him. Suddenly, he popped out of this little hole at the top of my root decoration! My other axie doesn't even know that place exists. Flex has his own penthouse suite hide :cool::cool::cool:

Here is my other axie, Rocket. Just hanging out being adorable. I think both Flex and Rocket might be boys, but it's still a little early to tell!:proud::proud::proud::proud:

I'm getting 'brainwashed'. I don't have axies at the moment but my dreams are constantly telling me to buy some again!

Maybe in the near future I'll have a bunch of them again.
 
I have just spent well over an hour looking at all the pictures.
Pictures of my 6.

Super cute! Love the tail stand picture!!!
 
This is Xol (Xolotl, after the Aztec deity). He's a former laboratory animal, and wasn't raised in very good conditions (hence the fungal patch on his face). I've had him for two weeks now, and he's made so much progress. He used to not know how to swim to the top of the tank because he was kept in very shallow water, and he's never eaten live food. He's so much stronger now then when he started. I'm so proud of my little salamander. This is my first axolotl (my first amphibian, actually), so any advice would be appreciated.



Wow! Such frilly gills. I haven't seen that before. I have two rescued Axolotls myself :) Although from neglectful owners, not labs. Nice to see people rescuing!

Plump little Ruto

Black as pitch, Nori!

Ruto & Nori were rescued. I thought it would be neat to set them in a shallow dish with white back drop. You can really see them clearly :)

Ruto, the day I took possession. She's small, and her front left leg is stunted from past injury. Versus a year later

Nori the day I brought her home. I was heart broken: her tail was half rotted off to the bone and her front left leg was mangled and stunted. Very under weight and stressed. She also has permanent grey splotches on her face - I don't know what from. A year later; nice and fat with a full tail and bigger arm!

    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?
