Hello everybody !
I was wondering if anybody could share what they know or send me some photos on what you know about this ..
What do Axolotls bred from two different types end up looking like ?
For example , a Leucistic and a Wild Type bred together ?
PHOTOS and INFORMATION are totally welcome :)
 
If you breed a leucistic and a wildtype, you either get all wildtype offspring, or 3/4ths wildtype and 1/4th leucistic. It depends on what recessive genes they have. There is a lot of good info on this page:
Axolotls - Genetics and Colour
It may seem complicated at first, but if you read it several times and ask questions about the parts you don't understand, you'll learn a lot about genetics.
 
What do you get if you cross a wildtype with a leucistic? Lots of babies usually...!

It's all a question of genetics - you'd need to know the genotype of each or possibly it's entire family tree in order to figure out what type of offspring you'd get.

Any axie can carry recessive genes, and a wildtype x leucistic pairing has the potential to have any type of offspring.

(BTW you need a male and a female to make babies, I think the concensus on your other thread was that yours are both female...)
 
Yes , both mine seem to be female .
I do understand that the only way to begin is to have a pair (male and female) .
I was just curious :)

    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?
