Tell me more, I was just looking into these guys. The only thing that has me hesitating is keeping them cool enough. Do you use chillers?

I'd love to see more pics.

MicroQuatics MicroQuatics - those are beautiful! What would that coloration be called? I know very little about them.

Hello magpie magpie . Axolotls do best at 70° & below. Living in Washington, I do not use chillers. I find it easiest to keep their entire room or space below 70° instead of keeping each tank cool individually. The Axolotls pictured are some of my rare Leucistic Morphs, which I call Tuxedos; with a mix of Harlequin, Piebald & Mosaics. There's tons of photos posted on my Facebook, Instagram & Website pages. From what I understand.. I'm not able to post the links on here until I've aquired points; or something like that?

Beautiful! At 5 posts you should be able to put links and such up :)

Very lucky that you can do this, my tanks easily hit 80s in summer so no hope haha. These are unique and very cool

Thank you Hendre Hendre . Chillers are an option if you live in a warmer climate, I myself have not tried them but know many people in the hobby who have used them with Axolotls successfully.
