Hypomelanistic Axolotls HELP

[ohaxies]

Some of the babies from the offspring of two of my axolotls, a golden albino and spotted melanoid, have been suspected of being hypos. These babies have always been extremely light, lighter than any of the wilds I have bred. They also grow slowers. One baby in particular was white for almost a month before developing spots, but none of these babies have darkened up. All of them also seem to have a sort of "glaze" over their bodies, it does not appear to be their slime coat though.
I have not been able to find very much information on hypos, so it has been very confusing for myself and the girl who now has these babies. They hatched on March 1st, with one baby still being right under 2 inches. The normal wild siblings however are over 4 and 5 inches now. Any help would be appreciated. Photos are attached.

Honestly, I think you have really light colored wild types. All axolotls grow at different rates. I have one that is around 7 inches and another that is still only close to 4. Also it wouldn't have the gold ring in its eye. Hypomelenistic means it retains some color but I don't think it would retain the shine. I could be wrong though. Only them growing up will show their colors.

They're so beautiful! I can't offer much breeding or typing info but I can offer my awe at these lovely babies.

I am thinking a light colored wild type... just by looking at it's eyes. It's a beauty either way.
