Meet Olive – Copper Axolotl
Say hello to Olive, a beautiful Copper Axolotl with enough sparkle to make aquarium lights feel slightly inadequate.
At approximately 20cm in length, Olive is a healthy, active axolotl with high iridophores that give her an eye-catching shimmer and metallic sparkle throughout her body. Whether she's cruising around the aquarium, investigating absolutely nothing, or patiently waiting for food she was definitely fed five minutes ago, Olive knows how to be the centre of attention.
Olive currently appears to be female, although this cannot be guaranteed with complete certainty at this stage.
Her stunning copper colouring combined with her high iridophore coverage creates a unique and highly desirable appearance that stands out in any freshwater axolotl aquarium. From across the room she catches your eye. Up close she becomes impossible to stop looking at.

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.
