To understand why axolotls come in different colors, it is important to grasp a bit about genetics, cells, and genes. They can be purchased from anywhere between $40 and $1,500.

Their price point is therefore dependent largely upon their coloration. Most people are surprised to find this out since the presence of more than 20 different colorations makes it seem like there are quite a few more than just one species of the creature. The axolotls is a Mexican species of salamander, that interestingly is the only species without a subspecies type.
#AXOLOTL COLORS GREEN SERIES#
The breeding has spawned a series of morphs, many of them rare and, therefore, highly sought after. As many as 20 varying types of axolotls are estimated to be kept as pets presently. However, due to their popularity in being bred as pets, they are still thriving in existence. Their habitat is disappearing quickly, and pollution is adversely affecting what remains. Unfortunately, axolotls are critically endangered in the wild. Most stunningly, they can regenerate their limbs, something that has made them common animals to be studied for tissue growth studies across many laboratories. They are even adept at living in a landless aquarium. While the species is far from a traditional pet, they make a good choice since the care routine they require is easy. The growth of baby axolotls can be accelerated using buckets of tropical fish each use reduces the remaining growing time by 10%.Residing in just a small region near Mexico City, Mexico, is a salamander species known as the Axolotls. Babies follow adults, and grow to adulthood in 20 minutes. The baby axolotl has a 1⁄ 1200 chance to be the rare blue variant otherwise, it inherits the color of one parent at random. The parents cannot be bred again for 5 minutes in Java Edition or 1 minute in Bedrock Edition.

After breeding, a baby axolotl spawns and 1–7 experience is generated. However, they are still affected by bubble columns.Īs aquatic mobs, they take extra damage from the Impaling enchantment. Unlike other aquatic mobs, they cause nearby pufferfish to inflate.Īxolotls picked up with a water bucket and re-spawned do not despawn.Īxolotls can be renamed by placing a bucket of axolotl into an anvil, the same as if renaming any other item.Īdult axolotls can be led and bred with buckets of tropical fish. Unlike most mobs, axolotls cannot be moved by flowing water. Unlike fish, dolphins, and squid, axolotls do not die on land in rain or in a thunderstorm. They require water at least 2 blocks deep within 16 blocks to pathfind to the water.Īxolotls can also die out of water as passengers in a boat. Axolotls are not attracted to shallow (1 block deep) water. If 2-block-deep water is outside this range, the axolotl can wander off randomly on land in search of more deep water, and die after 6000 game ticks (5 minutes) exposure out of water. When an axolotl leaves the water, it wanders as far as 8 or 9 blocks beyond the water's edge before returning to the water, as long as there is water at least 2 blocks deep within 16 blocks of the axolotl. In addition, if either a random integer from 0–2 (inclusive) is less than the amount of incoming damage, or the axolotl's health before the damage is dealt is less than 50% of its maximum health, it plays dead.Īxolotls can leave the water and wander about on land. There is a 1⁄ 3 chance for an axolotl to play dead to recover 4. Hostile aquatic mobs ignore healing axolotls. If an axolotl takes damage underwater, it may play dead, dropping to the ground for 200 game ticks (10 seconds) while gaining Regeneration I. Axolotls prioritize attacking hostile mobs over non-hostile mobs. An axolotl deals 2 points of damage per attack.Īfter killing a non-hostile mob, there is a two minute cooldown before another non-hostile mob can be hunted. Axolotls give Regeneration I for 100 game ticks (5 seconds) per Axolotl in the fight, up to a duration of 2400 game ticks (2 minutes), and remove Mining Fatigue when a player kills a mob that is in combat with an axolotl.Īxolotls attack all aquatic mobs except turtles, dolphins, frogs and other axolotls. When breeding Axolotls, there is a 1⁄ 1200 (0.083%) chance of the offspring having the blue mutation, leaving 1199⁄ 1200 (99.917%) chance of matching one of the parents (including blue parents).Īxolotls are passive toward players and can be attached to leads. Axolotls spawn underwater in the lush caves biome and when there is a clay block less than five blocks below the spawning space.Īxolotls can be one of five colors: pink (leucistic), brown, gold, cyan and blue.
