Pink Albino Axolotl
To protect our animals and to ensure they arrive healthy, axolotls ship directly from our dedicated breeding partner using expedited overnight service.
The Pink Albino Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is a soft, light-colored morph with a pink to creamy white body, pale translucent eyes, and bright feathery gills. Its delicate coloring gives it a clean, luminous appearance that stands out against darker aquarium decor.
Pink Albinos are frequently mistaken for leucistic axolotls, but the eyes give them away. Albino genetics remove melanin completely, leaving pale gold or clear eyes rather than the dark eyes of a Lucy.
