All leucistic. It's a recessive trait so both parents have to be homozygotic for leucism in order to be phenotypically leucistic, which means that their offspring (barring some extremely unusual genetic phenomena) can only be leucistic, all of them.

Yes, leucistic babies will not loose the transparency until they are about to morph.

    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?
