ryanthefishguy:kai-ni:justnoodlefishthings:Okay so my LFS has Axolotl juvenile for sale but is it just me or are they….green? They kinda look like GloFish, with that lime green glow. The tank simply said Axolotl Juveniles so I don’t know for sure.Does anyone know if these are normal axolotls?They are GFPs! Glowing fluorescent protein. They’re genetically modified (it’s passed down). They ‘glow’ under blacklight (which you should NOT do - it irritates their eyes) they were originally created so scientists could see tissue regeneration under blacklight, but found their way into the pet trade. Are they on gravel?Yeah, they were on small blue gravel. -- source link
