Meet Nom Nom, the giant copper snack inspector with sparkle, swagger, and absolutely no off switch when food is involved.
 
Nom Nom is a stunning Copper Axolotl with high iridophores, creating an incredible shiny spotted appearance that glistens beautifully under aquarium lighting. His rich copper colouring combined with his reflective speckled pattern makes him a standout feature in any freshwater axolotl aquarium or display tank.
 
Visually confirmed male and approximately 25cm in length, Nom Nom is a large, healthy axolotl with a huge personality to match his impressive size. He enjoys slow-motion patrols around the tank, dramatic stares through the glass, and appearing instantly whenever someone even thinks about opening the food container.
 
Perfect for axolotl enthusiasts, collectors, and freshwater aquarium keepers looking for a visually striking display axolotl with unique colouring and entertaining behaviour.

• Large healthy display axolotl
• Ideal for freshwater axolotl aquariums
• Full of personality and curious behaviour

Nom Nom has the elegance of a rare aquatic masterpiece but the soul of a creature who firmly believes every movement in the house is somehow connected to snacks.
 
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.
