Default Non-white axolotls

Does anyone know where I can get some non-white axolotls? I already have one white.. and I would like a wild type, melanoid(black) and gold axolotl. Not an albino either, as they are similar to the white ones. If anyone knows where I could get any of these either delivered in the UK. Or for pick up in Scotland, that'd be great. I might be willing to travel to somewhere in northern england if they have a few of what I'm after.

I had one guy from dundee months back who was willing to sell me ones from each colour specified, but I missed out on the opertunity cos I had no money at the time

I really want my little axolotl to have some mates..

cheers

dan

edit: oh yeah. Forgot to mention I'm from Glasgow.. Not too hard to find white ones here, but not other colours

wild type and black in my poinion are stunnin lil creatures. yellows are nice, for a collection. but blacks and wild next to (as in in a tank) to a lecustic look great. wild type are also better because axotls in the wild are extinct so for a fiver about you have an extinct animal in your tank lol. get loads of them. there buatiful.

my local fish shops are the places that sell reptile and amphibians.. there aint really reptile only shops in Glasgow, as far as I know.. And as far as I know they only have white axolotls to order.. But I have only asked a couple of the places. I guess I could try another couple as there are quite a few shops around.

and by the way.. rob-stl-07: axolotls are not extinct in the wild. However they are critically endangered with only one lake (originally two) in mexico having them natively... and they are of wild type.. although they may become extinct very soon as the one lake left is shrinking.

However white axolotls are not found in the wild as they were bread from one mutant axolotl.
