My axolotl laid eggs last night and there white I thought only albino axes laid white eggs. My female is a golden and my male is black. Is this normal?

Congratulations on the eggs!
All the best with the larvae. :happy:

Yes it is true if the mother is albino, the eggs will be white. Goldens, are also albino.

From axolotl.org -
The first is the golden albino (D/D a/a or D/d a/a). It has normal migration of pigment cells, but lacks melanophores, hence the yellow/gold appearance

My ax laid some more eggs late yesterday afternoon. The first 22 that she laid some are starting to neuralate and now I have an extra 15 from yesterday so should be nice.

    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?
