I bred these Leucistic Axolotls last season but they have quite a bit of gold spots running along their sides down to along the tails.
What colour varieties do you think they are? Luecistic GFPs?

Those are beautiful! 🤩
They don't look GFP to me, but you can try a black light on them to be sure. The gold spots are likely the result of increased xanthophores. A sort of "hypo xanthic" if you will.

    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?
