Hey Guys and Gals,

My name is Brandon Reyes and I'm new to the forum this week. I live in Atlanta and I do water quality research for the USGS. I'm extremely interested in axolotls and other amphibians. I've always loved herping and learning about animals. I'm looking to purchase juvenile axolotls and I might already have one (if everything goes well).

In all of my readings, I'm still a little confused about the color genetics of axolotls and any help or direction would be awesome. One of my questions concerning axolotls color genetics is: can the golden-orange type have black eyes? Or do they always have the albino-looking eyes? Anyways, thanks for letting me join the forum!:D

Welcome to the forum, Brandon. We're glad to have you.

As far as the genetics: Golden axolotls are always albino. But you can have kind of orangy/tan wildtypes, which have black eyes.

    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?
