Meet Darius – Copper Axolotl Gentleman
Some axolotls quietly blend into the background. Darius has never considered that an option.
Darius is a visually confirmed male Copper Axolotl measuring approximately 22cm in length. With his rich copper colouring, impressive size, and confident personality, he is the kind of axolotl that instantly becomes the centrepiece of any aquarium.
Handsome, curious, and always on the lookout for his next meal, Darius has perfected the art of appearing at the front glass the moment he hears someone enter the room. Coincidence? He doesn't think so.
His beautiful copper tones create a striking display under aquarium lighting, highlighting the unique colours and features that make Copper Axolotls such a popular choice among axolotl enthusiasts and collectors throughout Australia.

At Little Lotls, we specialise in healthy, quality axolotls raised with care and experience. Darius is more than just an axolotl. He is a copper-coloured character with movie-star looks, a healthy appetite, and a remarkable ability to convince everyone he deserves an extra worm.
Warning: Darius may cause increased aquarium staring, excessive photo taking, and regular debates about whether he is posing for the camera on purpose.
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.
If you’re not available on the day of delivery and the parcel needs to be redelivered, a redelivery fee of $35.00 will apply.
