This special leucistic axolotl morph features snowy white skin paired with deep black eyes, creating a rare and elegant look. Unlike standard leucistics with light eyes, these individuals have dramatic contrast that makes them stand out even more. This unique pattern, which can increase or fade over time, gives it a distinct, "dirty" or speckled appearance that ensures no two are exactly alike. Adding to its allure, the axolotl possesses the GFP gene, causing it to glow a brilliant, neon green under UV or black light. This scientific marvel turns an already charming and naturally varied morph into a spectacular and otherworldly aquatic display.

They’re hardy, beginner-friendly, and adapt well to most aquariums. With their pristine look and rarity, they’re a favorite among serious collectors and hobbyists.

What you need to know Before Buying an Axolotl

It’s important to understand the essentials of proper care and habitat setup. Your tank should hold at least 29 gallons for one axolotl, though a 40-gallon breeder tank is ideal. Use a gentle filter, such as a sponge filter, to prevent strong currents that can stress your pet. Keep the tank bottom bare or use very large, smooth gravel—small gravel can be accidentally swallowed and may be fatal. Maintain a water temperature between 60°F and 68°F (15°C–20°C), as higher temperatures can cause stress and illness.

Consider aquarium chillers or clip-on fans to keep the water cool. Water quality is crucial, so perform 30–50% water changes one to three times a week, ensure the tank is properly cycled, and test ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels regularly. Avoid using distilled water. Axolotls prefer dim environments, so use soft lighting and include plenty of hiding spots such as caves or plants to help them feel secure. They do best in species-only tanks since they may try to eat smaller tankmates or become stressed by aggressive ones. For diet, feed your axolotl a carnivorous menu consisting of earthworms, blackworms, and high-quality sinking salmon pellets to ensure balanced nutrition and health.
