Hypomelanistic Axolotl
The Hypomelanistic Axolotl is one of the most rare and captivating aquatic pets, perfect for those seeking a unique new companion. Its vibrant, golden-yellow body paired with striking reddish-orange, feathery gills creates a stunning visual contrast that’s sure to stand out in any aquarium setup.
This morph retains some melanin, giving it a soft, sun-kissed glow that sets it apart from albino varieties. Its wide head, curious expression, and gentle nature make it a fascinating addition for aquarists of all levels.
Known for their incredible regenerative abilities, axolotls can regrow limbs and other body parts, combining natural beauty with scientific wonder. With proper care—including cool, clean water and a protein-rich diet—this axolotl will thrive and become a long-lasting, interactive pet.
Ideal for aquarists who value both aesthetics and unique species, the Hypomelanistic Axolotl is a stunning choice that brings a touch of the extraordinary to your aquatic collection.
We take great care during the shipping process to make sure your new pet will make it to your door alive and healthy.
Due to unique genetic variations across the species, your axolotl may not look identical to the images on our website.
