Can anybody tell me what type of Axy I have? We bought a mixed set of eggs and 4 hatched. 2 are wild types one is a leucistic, but we don't know what this chappy is, he looks kind of dark and blue. Thanks.

Looks like a melanoid to me. Check the eyes for an iridophore ring and the gills for little sparkly bits. None = melanoid.
 
Thanks Auntijude, he (she?) is a lovely looking beast. Sadly in a tank on his own as there was a bit of an incident with one of the other axies and his leg - fortunately its grown back and he's looking super healthy now! We're looking to rehome a couple sometime soon.
