✨ Glowie Axolotl (GFP) – Fluorescent Captive-Bred Amphibian

Description:
The Glowie Axolotl, also known as a GFP Axolotl (Green Fluorescent Protein), is one of the most striking and rare morphs of Ambystoma mexicanum. Genetically modified with a harmless gene originally derived from jellyfish, GFP axolotls glow bright green under UV or blue light, while appearing like their normal morphs under standard aquarium lighting. They retain all the charm of classic axolotls—with their feathery gills and signature “smile”—but with an extra luminous twist.

Key Features

• Fluorescent glow – GFP gene causes axolotl to glow bright green under UV light
• Unique Morph – Available in leucistic, albino, wild-type, and other variations with fluorescence
• Captive-Bred – Healthy, tank-raised, and sustainable
• Hardy Amphibian – Requires same care as other axolotl morphs
• Fascinating conversation piece for aquarists and collectors

Care Guide

• Tank Size: 20 gallons minimum per axolotl
• Water Temperature: 60–68°F (16–20°C). Avoid warm water.
• pH: 6.5–7.5
• Substrate: Bare-bottom or fine sand only
• Diet: Earthworms, axolotl pellets, bloodworms, and other carnivore foods
• Tank Mates: Best kept alone or with other axolotls

❓ FAQ

Q: Do Glowie Axolotls glow all the time?
A: No, they look like regular axolotls under standard light, but fluoresce under UV/blue lighting.

Q: Is the GFP gene safe?
A: Yes, it’s a harmless and stable genetic trait.

Q: Are they harder to care for than normal axolotls?
A: No, they require the same care as other morphs.
