3 inch long Golden albino axolotl juveniles looking for new waters! Golden Albino Axolotls are striking amphibians with bright yellow-gold hues and pale eyes that glow under certain lighting. They’re fully aquatic, grow up to 12 inches, and are known for their peaceful, laid-back nature.
Unlike its wild-type axolotl counterparts, which blend into the murky lake beds of Mexico with mottled camouflage, this morph is a product of selective captive breeding, its vivid golden-yellow hue a testament to its complete lack of dark melanin pigment. Golden axolotls are great for intermediate hobbyists and beginners alike, needing only cool water, a secure tank with hiding spots, and a balanced diet of worms and axolotl-safe pellets. Their vibrant color makes them a centerpiece in any aquatic setup.
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.
