Darius | Copper Male Axolotl
Meet Darius, the handsome copper gentleman who has never once considered quietly blending into the background.
Darius is a visually confirmed male copper axolotl measuring approximately 22 cm in length. His rich copper colouring, impressive size and confident personality make him a striking centrepiece for a carefully maintained freshwater aquarium.
Curious, healthy and always alert when food may be involved, Darius has perfected the art of appearing at the front glass the moment someone enters the room.
Coincidence? Darius considers that an unlikely explanation.

What Is a Copper Axolotl?
Copper axolotls display warm earthy colouring that may include bronze, caramel, peach, chocolate and reddish-brown tones.
Their eyes, freckles and markings are generally softer and warmer than those seen in many darker axolotl morphs. Each copper axolotl develops an individual combination of colour, pattern and contrast.
Darius’s rich copper tones create a striking appearance under suitable aquarium lighting, highlighting the distinctive features that make copper axolotls popular with keepers and collectors throughout Australia.
He has movie-star colouring, a healthy appetite and absolutely no intention of sharing the spotlight with the aquarium decorations.
Darius’s Aquarium Requirements
Darius requires a fully cycled, cool-water freshwater aquarium with stable water conditions and suitable floor space.
His aquarium should maintain:
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: kept low through regular testing and water changes
Cool, clean and properly dechlorinated water
Gentle filtration with minimal current
Smooth hides and axolotl-safe aquarium décor
Low or subdued everyday lighting
Adequate floor space for comfortable movement
A nutritious diet of quality earthworms or suitable premium axolotl food
Because Darius is approximately 22 cm long, his aquarium should provide enough floor space for him to move, turn and explore comfortably.
Axolotls must never be placed into an uncycled or incorrectly cycled aquarium. Little Lotl’s will ask a few questions about your setup before finalising the sale to help ensure Darius is moving into a safe and suitable home.
It is also important to use axolotl-safe aquarium products, as many standard fish medications, chemicals and treatments are unsuitable for axolotls.
Individually Photographed in Australia
Every Little Lotl’s axolotl is individually photographed and listed. The axolotl shown in Darius’s photographs is the exact axolotl you will receive.
Photographs are taken in natural lighting wherever possible to represent his copper colouring accurately. His appearance may still vary slightly depending on aquarium lighting and individual screen settings.
Additional photographs or videos can be provided upon request. Darius is generally happy to pose, although he may assume every photography session includes an earthworm allowance.
