Ok I have been told far too many time about cross breed albino and my GFP leucistic would result normal wild, but I check my male albino and yes it is axanthic albino but possibly had some mosaic great grand parent ( not sure) so I need more opinions on this whatever this is cause they get very light and their brother&sister from other previous batch are leucistic. Really!!! I need to know please help.

Some of them are going kinda light purple grey Melaniod and the GFP look kinda like bright jade in normal white light , some still have shinny pigment on gills but not dark enough to be normal wild. Picture not as clear as I wish but will try to take picture again.

I would say the male is melanoid albino, not axanthic.
Those babies are melanoid, probably GFP too.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
