I have a female wild type that bred with a GFP albino male. The young are a mix of GFP dirty lucies, GFP wilds, and regular wilds and dirty lucies.
What does that make these two?

Looking for help on deciding the genetics of my girl

Both parents carry leucistic genes. Your female doesn't carry an albino gene as you don't have any albino babies.
So your female is A/A D/d M/? C/? AX/?. Your male is a/a D/d M/? C/? AX/?. One, if not both of the parents are M/M - same goes for AX/AX and C/C
All of the babies will carry albino genes A/a.

Interesting, thanks! It's nice to know that they all carry the albino gene. I wasn't sure about that.

So from what I understand, if these babies (wild or lucy) were bred back to another albino then around 1/2 of them would be albino?
I'm interested in getting a copper female. Like the albino male, should this female be bred to an axie with no copper then I will not get any coppers from her but rather all of the babies would be het for copper, right?
I probably wouldn't breed her, but I'm curious about it anyway.
1. And an animal het for copper when bred to a full copper will produce around 1/2 of the young to be copper as well? Is this correct?
2. Can any color axolotl be het for copper? I've only really seen wilds that are...
3. When you bred a het copper to a het copper then 1/4 of them would be copper and 1/2 would carry the copper gene, right? The other 1/4 would not carry the gene.
I think I read somewhere that copper isn't really understood yet...

Yes! Well done!
Any animal can be het for copper if one of the parent was copper or carried the copper gene. I have golds and mels het for copper too.

Gold het. coppers? That sounds great. What's the genetics of a golden albino? They'd be D/d or D/D and a/a, right? I just looked it up on the genetics page and it seems my guess was right. Thanks for helping me get the hang of this genetic thing. I didn't really understand it at first.
Thanks for your help!

Yes, a gold would be a/a and D/-.
Genetics is hard, but once you have the hang of it..... people keep asking you questions!
