I got a new baby a couple of weeks back and named him stardust, he's stunning. He's about 4 inches long, has dark bits around his gills which are pink with gold flecks. And I'm pretty sure he has blue eyes with gold bits in. He's a yellowy colour but really pale almost leucistic like my axi. But axi didn't have the yellow as a youngster like stardust does. You can't really see his colour in my pictures but there's one that shows it off really well (pictured ). So I was just wondering what would people on here say he is going to turn out to be? I know there's the chance he's going to change a lot. I know from the person that bred him he started out like a normal leucistic. As he got older he got more colour I think I've got that right. Also I wanted to ask is there a chance his eyes will always be this colour?

Oh wow, he is gorgeous! I have no idea what kind that is but I am curious to see what experienced axie owners think. Maybe the beginnings of a light wild type with lots of gold iridophores? But I really can't give an educated opinion since I am soon to get my first axies and have just been looking at tons of pics for the last month or so.
 
Looks like a freckled leucistic with lots of pretty iridophores on the gill stalks! Love the name you chose :)
 
Such lovely gills!! and such a CUTE name! :happy:

    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?
