Hi! I have successfully bred my female golden albino axolotl with my male melanistic axolotl. Does anyone have any idea what they will look like when older? Here are some pics.

You really can't tell 100% without knowing their genes or what the parents of the parents looked like. The parents might have some recessive genes that you don't know of. They probably will be all wild types but you might get some melanoids and albinos(there doesn't seem to be any in the pictures) if the parents have the right recessive genes. Chances are, most of them will be wild types and wont look anything like their parents.

On the 1rst pic seems to show 2 leucistic and 4 wild-types
The larva on the 2nd photo seems yellowish brown and presents a shining ring around the eye, so it is neither axantic nor melanoid.

That's all I can say now

We are may 25th, so they may have developped
