I currently have both GFP and non GFP in wild type and the difference is amazing. The GFP is much better looking. What do you think?

Thats an interesting comparison. You can really see the greenish hue. it is much more obvious than i expected.
 
I thought GFP in wildtypes would be less visible to the naked eye but that's really noticeable. I suppose with the different wildtype variations though, particularly the darker or greener ones, it would be harder to notice in daylight.
 
They look good. Their is a lot of variation in wild types. Gfp is easy to see if you look at the eyes in wild types. In lighter colored ones it's evident when looking from the top under normal light. In dark wild types it isn't as evident. They all show real easy in their bellies and eyes under a black light.
 
Sorry but what does GFP stand for? And what is the difference in the eyes of these 2 wildtypes? Thanks
 
I think they're both beautiful. The green looks great, but the non GFP is equally gorgeous. But I'm a sucker for any of the wild looking pets. The wild colour in rats is Agouti, and it's gorgeous.
 
Nice photos,you can see the difference.Both good looking.:happy:
 
It will be interesting to see if they get any "darker" as they get older. Mine used to look just a little darker than that, now they look almost black without a light on the tank.

    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?
