Hey guys, I was looking at the different colors axies can come in and I wanted to know if the albinos and "glow" axolotls are more prone to disease or something?

I understand that "purebreed" dogs are prone to such, and I am new to reptiles and amphibians.

Thanks!
 
I don't know about risks that specific colorations might have, but if you're going to buy an axie my advice would be to observe the parents and siblings of any that you're interested in. If there are any obvious problems within that line, it might be best to look elsewhere for your new pet. You might find through your own investigation that certain colors tend to be more sickly than others. Who's to say?

For me personally, I say just get a wildtype and be happy. They're just a little bit awesome :)

    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?
