Harold | Axanthic Albino Male Axolotl with Cranial Glow
Meet Harold, the handsome little gentleman who appears to travel everywhere with his own personal spotlight.
Harold is a visually confirmed male axanthic albino axolotl, approximately 19 cm long, with the highly desirable cranial glow trait.
His soft, creamy white colouring, delicate axanthic markings and naturally luminous-looking head make him a striking addition to a carefully maintained axolotl aquarium.
He is also remarkably skilled at appearing whenever food is nearby.
Harold insists this is excellent timing rather than snack-related surveillance.

What Is an Axanthic Albino Axolotl?
An axanthic albino axolotl has reduced yellow pigmentation combined with albino characteristics. This can create pale cream, silvery and softly contrasting tones.
Harold also displays a cranial glow, which makes the top of his head appear brighter under suitable aquarium lighting. It gives him his signature glowing appearance without requiring batteries, charging cables or a tiny underwater electrician.
Harold’s Aquarium Requirements
Harold requires a fully cycled, cool-water freshwater aquarium with stable water conditions.
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
- A nutritious diet of quality earthworms or suitable premium axolotl food
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 Harold is moving into a safe and suitable home.
Individually Photographed in Australia
Every Little Lotl’s axolotl is individually photographed and listed. The axolotl shown in Harold’s photographs is the exact axolotl you will receive.
Photographs are taken in natural lighting wherever possible to represent his colouring accurately. Colours may still appear slightly different depending on aquarium lighting and screen settings.
Additional photographs or videos can be provided upon request.
