chopper Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Multi coloured axolotls Apart from luecistic and golden albino I'm guessing photo shop or dye injection but never heard of dye injected salamanders before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopper Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Awesome cheers for posting the photo sanitychelle, I still can't seem to upload the other one but this pic gives the same idea. If they are dye injected its quite disturbing ( they could be dipped also but I doubt it as this would result in almost certain death for an amphibian as it strips slime coat then replaces it with dye). I don't like these fake fish let alone axolotls. They have however genetically modified axolotls using a fluorescent protein originally found in jellyfish. These glow green under UV light and you can buy them for your aquarium but not in nz. Here are some on YouTube ► 2:54► 2:54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 There were orange zebra danios with the same genetic modification released by MPI because they will not employ people who know about fish. They seem to think that a good knowledge of horses will be good enough. They will still be out there as well but it amazes me how many people think they are cute. Now and again some idiot tries to sell them on trademe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insect Direct Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 if we look at the bigger picture. i suspect if easy to produce there'd be more about by now. if is easy to produce then u only need 20 young at 20 each. if hard to produce -- we are lucky to even see them on the market.
