Leucistic (Classic Pink) Axolotl

Leucistic axolotls, often called classic pink axolotls or “Lucys,” are pale white-to-pink axolotls with dark eyes and bright external gills. They are one of the most recognizable axolotl morphs.

Pink Axolotl vs. Albino Axolotl

Leucistic axolotls usually have dark eyes, while albino axolotls have pale, pink, red, or translucent eyes. If you are comparing pink axolotl types, this is the quickest visual clue.

Current Sizes

Select your preferred size above, from juvenile through adult male or female when available. Inventory changes as animals are sold and new axolotls become ready.

Leucistic Axolotl Care

Leucistic axolotls have the same basic care needs as other morphs: a fully cycled aquarium, cool stable water, gentle filtration, suitable hides, appropriate food, and regular water testing.
