What is a GFP axolotl?
Genetically modified line that incorporates jellyfish GFP gene. Looks normal in daylight but glows bright green under UV or actinic blue light. Originally lab animals.
Morph-specific care
Same care needs. Some keepers add an actinic LED strip for the glow effect, but standard lighting is fine.
Typical price
Expect $100 to $300 from a reputable breeder. Pet store prices are often double for the same animal with worse genetics. See the buying guide for what to look for.
Is this morph right for you?
- Rarity: designer. Wait lists and pre-orders only.
- First axolotl? Probably start with a common morph first to learn care, then move to designer morphs.
- Care difficulty: The same as any axolotl. Water temperature, filtration, and food rules don't change by morph.
Read the complete beginner setup guide before ordering any axolotl. Tank cycling takes four to six weeks and must happen before your axolotl arrives.
