I'm just wandering if my female axolotl was to lay fertilised eggs, what colour would the babies be?

The male is Leucistic and the female wildtype.
 
Most likely they will all be wildtype unless the female carries some leucistic genes and then you might get 25% leucistic babies. There are other possibilities but these are the most likely.


Regards Neil
 
i had the same thing, male leucistic and female wild black. she layed all wild eggs then after a month of hatching 50% of them started to get lighter now after 3 months i have a mixture of 100 3" axolotls all over my tank :D.


with the wild ones some actually turned out really green and others stayed really dark grey-black

    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?
