Hello everyone! I have a pair of axolotls who I originally thought were both males but one ended up being a female. As a result, I got eggs and decided to keep a few. I have successfully hatched them and kept them alive for a week thus far. However, I was wondering about their colors though I am decently certain they are all dirty lucys and wildtypes. I figured this is the best place to ask anyway! I've included a pic of the parents and some of the babies. The mother is my lucy.

Some new photos taken today. They are much older. I can't figure out the color of the dark one. Is it just a melanoid? Two pictures attached show that color.

I would say maybe some wild types + leucstics. I dont think they are melanoids, but I guess youll find out when they grow up a lil :)

I say melanoids because there was no hint of any gold in the eyes, even with the light on them. However, it turns out those are axanthics so I'm still not sure if that makes them just axanthic or melanoid axanthic. But they are quite beautiful.

How did you work out they were axanthic? If I see no shiny eye I just assume melaniod. I have never thought of or looked for them being axanthic

Under blue light, they got a green spot on their head. I only had 2 or 3 axanthics from the batch.

    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?
