Yesterday we saw what we can describe as an albino lizard in someones fish tank.
It was white with tiny black eyes, and 3--4 type horns each side of his/her head.
We were told it originates from caves in mexico.

Has anyone got a clue to this fish/creatures name please?

They live on live worms I forgot to add.
They look more like a fat lizard than fish, and they had legs.
They live in water.
Not had much luck with googling it.

The axolotl, also known as a Mexican salamander or a Mexican walking fish, is a neotenic salamander, closely related to the tiger salamander. Although the axolotl is colloquially known as a "walking fish", it is not a fish, but an amphibian.
