GFP Black Melanoid Axolotl

GFP Black Melanoid axolotls combine the deep, dark coloration of the melanoid morph with the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) trait. Under normal lighting, they typically display rich black, charcoal, and dark gray coloration, while under appropriate blue or UV lighting, the GFP trait produces a striking fluorescent green glow. Their dark pigmentation makes the fluorescence especially dramatic and gives this morph a truly unique appearance. Our GFP Black Melanoid axolotls are carefully raised and selected for health, appearance, and quality. They thrive in cool, clean freshwater aquariums and are a great choice for both new and experienced axolotl keepers. Select your preferred size above, from juvenile through adult male or female.
