I've seen a few posts about genes but haven't really seen an answer to my question. My leucistic & golden albino have just laid eggs & they are dark coloured so what colours are they likely to be? & also if as adults they were to lay eggs could they still possibly have light gene babies?
 
Genetics is complicated, if you know the grandparent colours it may help.
But you'll get at least 50% wildtypes from that pairing, possibly 100%.
 
All but albinos lay dark eggs. The babies will loose their pigments as they grow. Albino femails lay whiye eggs, and babies develop pigment if they are not going to be albino.
 
Thanks for that both of you that's been really helpful! Some of them have hatched and I can see some of them looking more leucistic

    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?
