Meet Lewis, the giant copper tank boss with the confidence of a bodybuilder and the attention span of a floating noodle.
Lewis is a stunning Light Copper Axolotl and a visually confirmed male, already reaching an impressive 28cm at just 12 months old. With his soft copper colouring, large build, and calm personality, Lewis is an incredible display axolotl for freshwater aquariums and planted tank setups.
This big boy spends his days slowly cruising around the aquarium like he owns the entire underwater kingdom, occasionally inspecting plants, judging your maintenance skills, and appearing instantly whenever food is even remotely nearby.
Lewis currently has a small chunk missing from his tail, shown in the last photo. This is already healing and expected to fully grow back soon, as axolotls are well known for their impressive regenerative abilities.
Perfect for axolotl enthusiasts, collectors, and freshwater aquarium keepers looking for a large, healthy, and personality-filled display axolotl with standout size and beautiful light copper colouring.
Why Lewis Stands Out
• Large Light Copper Axolotl
• Confirmed male
• Approximately 28cm long at 12 months old
• Beautiful soft copper colouring
• Calm, interactive, and full of personality
• Ideal for freshwater axolotl aquariums
• Excellent display axolotl for collectors and enthusiasts
• Tail injury currently healing and expected to regenerate
Lewis combines the presence of an underwater dragon with the daily decision-making skills of someone who still tries to eat the thermometer just in case it tastes interesting.
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.
