thats so freaky!

his eyes are so wierd..

question though.

is this like normal "glow in the dark"

eg. light from sourced is captured by the protien, then held onto? or does it just glow constantly?

That's the color under normal light. Under black light the eyes and belly flouresce.

It's tough to take pictures under black light but my photographer (son) is working on it. The wild gfp came from a cross between a gfp leucistic and a melanoid. That cross also produced normal wild type, gfp leucistic, and leucistic. Yes I am breeding some gfp to gfp.

    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?
