Hello everyone ! I'm new to the forum and I wanted to say that I'm highly thankful to the creators of this website.
Anyways, I got a pair of axolotls a few weeks ago, they spawned and got dozens of babies (round 150). They are doing great and I think their life is between good hands.
My question is the following: As both parents are wildtype, and their descent seems to have 50% wildtypes, 25% leucistics and what seems to be 25% melanoes (spawn among which melano-leucs and other combinations reside too), I just wanted to have your point of view on the genes that carry the parents. Are they both wildtypes het leucistic het melano? Silly question, no?
And secondly, (if it's too complicated to answer/calculate, no problem) are the wildtypes 50% possible het or 100% het (or less) for leucistism and melanism? And the leucs for melanism? And the melanoes for leucistism?
Thanks a lot for the further answers, it is highly appreciated.
