Our melanoid and golden albino recently had babies (a few days before Christmas). There are two variations that I have never seen before and can't find pictures of anywhere to compare them to. I am wondering what type they are - I am posting pictures for comments.

Thanks.

Here is an additional picture. Both colors are almost a pearl tone, one with a green undertone and the other a lavender - pinkish undertone.

if im not mistaken very light melanistics can look purple, that little the colors might not be fully developed yet so you might be able to tell better in a week or two

    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?
