Ethical Axolotls

24/09/2025

Dark and light Copper Axanthics, "Comic-Relief" and "Story-Arc", are still ISO their very own people with their very own tank.

Feel free to ask any questions you have, we do and always will ✈️ for no charge within Alaska.

These babies are around 4.5" and therefore not tank sized, but they eat chopped Canadian nightcrawlers like champs so they can easily be tubbed while your tank cycles - cycling takes 4-12 weeks on average, and they'll be 6" in NO TIME!

The Howling Peaks Fall Festival is an amazing event created to support The Michael Movement and their efforts to help Alaskan dogs in need of placement, food assistance, and/or behavioral training.

The Michael Movement's goal in short is to make sure that our community pups have a safe place to call home, and they prove that they understand that oftentimes the best solution to mitigate the shelter crisis is to support would-be animal surrenderers.

We're raising some change for TMM today, and if you like dogs you should probably come say hi. We will have axolotls, so don't worry, cat people 😁

See the frills on my gills, in water that's so chill - I think you know the drill... will you feed me some krill?

I'm working on my Eminem impression. Gotta see if I can make hubby laugh.

Btw, we don't make a big deal out of exactly how many people we've helped with water chemistry, but I can guarantee it blows everyone else out of the water.

I am frequently contacted by folks who bought from axolotl producers near and far, and there's always one thing in common - none of these sellers seem to be able to find the time to be valuable resources for their customers, as they're generally too busy balancing their other obligations.

If you have gotten an animal from me and you are having problems (or not, I still like updates), let me know! But we are always here to help, regardless of where your axolotl is from. I have a seizure disorder so I've got plenty of time on my hands, haha.

Their gills are so heavy that they need extra food. Or so "Story-Arc" would have you believe.

Story-Arc is a Copper Axanthic het guaranteed het for Melanoid. Het White is probable and hets Albino and Hypo are possible.

Arial x Yaoshi produced some stunning babies, and I have Siserah’s Aquatic Escape to thank for that. Give her page a follow!

I will share pictures of their two siblings soon, but this little one was feeling extra photogenic.

We 2-day FedEx our lotls anywhere in America that it is legal to own an axolotl, and that is reasonably low flat rate. However, it is ZERO to send 2-day within Alaska! I'll explain more in a future post, but I intend to keep doing this.

How do YOU change your axolotl's tub water?

It's safe to scoop your axolotl up in a bowl, or use your freshly washed hands to move them, but I don't really recommend fish nets because tiny toes and gill frills can get snagged. Brine shrimp nets, on the other hand, are uh-may-zing for water changing littles.

Make sure you don't have oils, lotion, or fragrances on your hands or arms, and that can include fragranced soap. Watch out for long sleeves, hair, and jewelry.

It's easiest to entirely prepare a second tub, put it next to the axolotl's current tub, then gently lift them with both hands and place them into the new tub.

Everyone has their own method, just make sure your little one isn't out of the water for more than 5-10 seconds. I sometimes hold my hand under water for my axolotl to climb on and sniff, but that's about as close as they're comfortable getting, and that's fine by me.

Check out these Copper Axanthic variants btw! They're an excellent example of some happily tubbed axolotls.

I promised Coppers, didn't I? We have a GFP MAC, a light Copper Axanthic, and a standard Copper Axanthic.

Dad has guaranteed White and Albino hets, mom has produced White and Hypo, and these guys are well documented for several generations. So if you want to grow out a nice breeder, these are beautiful 'MAC makers' since mom was homozygous Melanoid, with probable additional hets. They're totally fine as pets too though, and extremely personable.

The eggs were laid at the end of May 2025, and I'm just working them onto canadian nightcrawlers ATM. I'll let them grow another month before they leave my water, but I can definitely help someone set up now if they liked one of these cuties :)

We're having a Copper party! Fiasco the Copper Mel is excited to be going home next week (alongside Baked Tater) which lead me to make available some Arial x Yaoshi Copper Axanthic variants for our Howling Peaks Fall Festival.

I'll post more about them later in the week, but for now, enjoy Fiasco's pretty face.
