I have 3 distinct looking albino colorations in a clutch (male is leucistic, female is golden albino). I've been trying to figure out what they are, and this is my first time doing this so any help is appreciated.

I think they may be--

1) golden albino

2) axanthic albino

3) white albino

Please help confirm or tell me where I am wrong or any thoughts! Thank you!

Here's a couple pics from the side view.

1) golden

3)white (it can be really hard to see, but aside from the iridiphores on the gill stems, they run down the belly and side too).

Hi,

Did you ever figure it out? Looks like golden albino to me, but I'm no lotl morph expert.

    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?
