So I have some juvies that are a really odd coloring...about 10 out of the clutch were this weird bright green gills and top of their heads. Parents are a golden albino and wildtype (both NON GFP). They also produced normal looking wilds and Lucy's....I've never seen this coloring before any help would be great! These pics were taken yesterday and the green has become brighter and more noticeable as they have grown.

My first thought was "What cute little punks!" lol They look like gfp wilds to me, I think they're really neat!
 
They are really cute but there is no way they could be GFP both parents and grandparents are non GFP
 
Wild types come in all sorts of colours - brown, green, grey, tan, and black are the most common, and almost any combination of base colour and speckles. I have brown and green babies from a pair of wildtypes - brown and black - so I'm not sure of the genetics.

Cute little things though!
 
Beautiful babies!!! :) I had no idea there could be green coloring. I can't wait until my hatchlings get a little bigger. I believe they are all wild type.
 
:DI love love the coloring of you babies, I wounder if they will stay this color as they get older (bigger)......I would love to have one or 2 of this color I rally like odd colors


Have a great day and have fun with your new odd babies:happy:
 
Beautiful green Wilds - like Alkylhalide's Texas. I even think I can see iridophores on those big beautiful gills! They'll be so pretty when fully grown.
 
That is really funny! I was just scrolling on tapatalk and I saw my name so I had to check out the thread!

I say these are even neater then texas! Very beautiful. She has turned into a very beautiful girl though herseld and has gotten very dark as she got older.

Texas is so pretty! She looks almost emerald green in that top picture!

Whenever I see a green Wildie I always think of your Texas. She was the first green Wild I ever saw and since you've been on here a while it gives users a good point of reference if they're unsure about this particular Wild colour. Hope you don't mind :eek:
 
Not at all :) I am glad she makes good reference material :) she did turn out pretty beautiful. I actually did not really want a wild type but I got a "i have a beautiful wild type left" and so i decided why not and it was definately not a lie :p I plan on breeding her with toothless when they are older.

    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?
