Details
Axolotls are among the most adorably alien-looking pets around. They have become pop culture icons in recent years through memes and, most recently, the Minecraft video game. As a result, interest in them has increased exponentially. However, their care is extremely demanding and specific and any potential owners must be ready to meet their needs.
Although they are sometimes called “walking fish”, these little creatures are actually a fully aquatic species of salamander. In fact, all baby salamanders are often called “axolotls” in the same way that young dogs are called “puppies” but the true “pet” Axolotl is the Mexican Axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum. The natural Axolotl is dark brown but captive-breeding has led to other varieties like albino, leucistic, black or piebald variants. In addition to the pet trade, Axolotls are important research subject. They have the ability to regenerate lost limbs and organs, and have also been used to research genetic traits and neurobiology.

Healthy Axolotl
by Megan
Healthy big axolotl that is doing well! Make sure you do lots of research before buying one and have your tank cycled!!! They are happiest without other fish or with other axolotls in a big big tank. I'm going to pick up another axolotl friend for Petri today!
Love my new lotl

I got my axolotl about a month ago and she has settled in very well. The people at the store were very helpful and answered all my questions.
