Hi my babies are aprox 3 weeks now and some are clearly going to be leucitic i have some that are brown but speckled brown, are these speckled ones going to be wild type? (mam n dad are leicitic and wild type). the leucitic ones seem larger and have started developing front legs however i cant see any development of legs on the darker ones?

Mine are definitely a mix of leucistic and wildtype. The wildtype are quite green. My leucistics have arm buds but the wildtypes don't yet, but the same happened with my toddlers (who now have back legs too :D) so I think the wildtypes must just be slower developing in general, they tend to grow slower than my leucistics too. I've attached pics, terrible quality but you can see the 2 types.

so what do you think about the two i have posted Nix? yours appear to have good markings on the wildtype. mine dont look as patterned as yours do, are mine i have posted wild type or leucitic in disguise? lol x:rolleyes:
 
They look wildtype to me.
 
Just to throw it out there, my little stitch looked like that when i bought him, i thought he was wildtype. The more he grew, the darker he got and i found out the other day he is melanoid! :D

here he is user25714_pic25018_1352639367.jpg
 
ok i get confused what is melanoid again...is that dark without the ring on their eyes? mine all have rings like their daddy :rolleyes:
 
If they have a shiny ring, they they are wildtype :)

    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?
