The diagram on the right is a summary of the development of the axolotl, from egg to adult The eggs are white due to the mother being an albino (normal axolotl eggs are dark brown) The red line below each animal represents roughly 2 mm

The egg (stage 1) is typically amphibian
It comprises of the embryo, which measures about 2 mm in diameter, and also the surrounding layers of jelly.
A curled tail end is a sure sign of a stressed axolotl Aquarium fish remedies can be toxic to axolotls and it is inadvisable to use them without first consulting an expert. You can see the huge variety of axolotl colour variations in caudata.org's user photo gallery Keep your eyes open for unusually coloured axolotls that don't match the descriptions here.
When an axolotl wants to eat something, it opens its mouth suddenly and water rushes in, along with the food or anything else around (such as parts of other axolotls, or pieces of gravel). An axolotl that metamorphoses prior to when it begins to reach sexual maturity will usually lead a somewhat normal life It will eat the same food and behave in a similar manner to the tiger salamander, but it will not live as long. Output from a filter can cause significant flow and this is perhaps the most common cause of stress in axolotls
Excessive water flow will, sooner or later, lead to disease
The photos below depict an axolotl that has succumbed to the stress caused by excessive water flow. If you would like to know more about the stages of larval growth, look at the biology page There is a nice diagram of the stages of axolotl growth, from egg to juvenile The photo below shows 15 cm (6 inches) juveniles of various colours.
The axolotl is an endangered species in the wild, but vast numbers are bred in captivity each year for scientific research and the pet trade As long as you acquired your axolotl in your own country from a dealer who has followed the required procedures, you don't have to worry about the treaty.
