Appearance:
Malachi (Unsexed)

Malachi displays the classic axolotl features—feathery external gills, a wide smile-like mouth, and a soft, smooth body. Being unsexed, there is no visible differentiation between male and female traits yet. The color and patterning may vary depending on genetics, but typically unsexed axolotls have vibrant, healthy skin without sexual dimorphism.

Size:
Young axolotls like Malachi generally measure a few centimeters when juvenile and can grow to 20–30 cm as adults under optimal care.

Personality:
Axolotls are generally calm, curious, and solitary. Malachi may enjoy observing his surroundings and can show recognition towards feeding routines or caretakers over time.

Care Requirements:

• Tank size: Minimum 20 gallons for one adult axolotl.

• Water: Cool (16–18°C / 60–64°F), dechlorinated, with stable pH.

• Substrate: Fine sand or bare bottom is recommended to avoid ingestion of gravel.

• Diet: Carnivorous—live or frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, or specialized axolotl pellets.

• Lighting: Low; axolotls prefer dim environments.

Health Notes:
Unsexed axolotls like Malachi require monitoring for stress, gill damage, and water quality-related issues. Regular water changes and a balanced diet are crucial.

Additional Notes:
Malachi’s unsexed status makes him ideal for aquarists who prefer to wait until sexual characteristics develop, often around 6–12 months of age, to determine breeding potential.
