Meet Arista – Stunning Axanthic Copper Axolotl
If elegance could swim, it would probably look a lot like Arista.
Arista is a breathtaking Axanthic Copper Axolotl with rich copper colouring, striking features, and enough personality to become the undisputed star of any aquarium. With her unique axanthic genetics and beautiful copper tones, she is the kind of axolotl that makes visitors stop, stare, and immediately ask where you found her.
Currently appearing to be female, although this cannot be guaranteed, Arista combines beauty, curiosity, and a talent for looking adorable while doing absolutely nothing productive.
Like all Axanthic Axolotls, Arista displays an incredible cranial glow under UV or blue light, creating a truly eye-catching effect that highlights her rare genetics and unique appearance. By day she is stunning. By night she becomes a tiny glowing masterpiece.
Whether she is gracefully exploring her aquarium, waiting for dinner with remarkable patience, or dramatically pretending she has never been fed before, Arista knows exactly how to capture attention.

Axolotl Sales & Care Information
All of our axolotls are photographed individually, so the little lotl you see in the listing is the exact one you’ll receive. Each one is unique, even if some may look similar.
We take photos in natural lighting to show their colours as accurately as possible. Colours can still vary slightly depending on lighting and screens. We mainly use our phones for photography, but if you’d like extra photos or videos, we’re always happy to send more.
Every axolotl comes with transition feed and detailed care information sheets to help them settle in comfortably.
We also offer lifetime support. Whether you’re brand new to axolotls or have kept them for years, we’re here to help you give your lotl the best life possible.
Before finalising a sale, we’ll ask a few questions about your setup. We won’t sell an axolotl if your tank is uncycled or incorrectly cycled. This is purely for the safety of the animal, as an uncycled tank can:
Kill an axolotl within a few days, or
Cause slow organ failure over 3–12 months.
It’s also important to use axolotl‑safe products. Most fish products aren’t suitable. If axolotl‑specific items aren’t available in your area, turtle products are usually the next safest option.
We’re more than happy to help you cycle your tank, choose safe products, and answer any questions you may have — just reach out anytime.
If you fall in love with a particular axolotl but your tank isn’t quite ready, you’re welcome to purchase and reserve that lotl. We can hold them for you until your setup is safe. Holding fee: $5.00 per week, invoiced and paid before dispatch.
Shipping Information
All live axolotls are shipped on Mondays (weather and public holidays permitting).
Shipping is $60 within Express Post zones 1–3. Addresses outside zones 1–3 may incur additional fees. We’ll let you know before shipping, and any extra charges will need to be paid before dispatch.
