Hi everyone!
So a color question:
My "girl" juvie axie, Audrey, is now just over 4" long at just past 3 months of age. Her parents were both Leucistic, and with the exception of one golden albino, which didn't make it, all of the rest look like they are leucistic as well.
What I'm wondering about is this: when do their bodies actually go white? Because she is pink. A lightish pink, but pink/ mild orange in color.
Are axies like flamingos and take on color from their food? She is strictly on blood worms, though I'll be switching her to pellets in the next week or 2., so was wondering if that's why she is the color she is.
I've seen other people's juvie axie photos and they are white with the purple gill fronds.
Just curious if she's going to lighten up or stay this color.
Thanks and hope everyone had a great weekend and Mom'd Day!
