What is a Lavender axolotl?
Silvery lavender base with grey speckling. Color is more pronounced in juveniles and can fade somewhat with age.
Morph-specific care
Standard care. Diet rich in carotenoids (like blackworms) helps maintain color depth.
Typical price
Expect $80 to $250 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: uncommon. Requires reaching out to specific breeders.
- 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.
