Hi! I rescued a pair of wild type axolotls who were both supposed to be boys but the 500 babies I have say otherwise 😂 could anyone tell me what colors they see? Super excited to watch the grow. Thank you!

Hmmmmm, some wild types... but the pale ones don't look like the whites I'm used to seeing, so I'm not sure what their story is. You may need to wait for some to grow up to find out!
Retired lab axos who are wild-types are typically het for wild because of why they're bred (for a set of sibling animals that are visually distinct under the scope) but with recreational keepers it's a completely random chance. All you can know for sure is that they're not GFP or Cherry, lol!

From my experience from breeding axolotls, those lighter colored axolotls are luecistics. The others look like standard wild types. Congratulations! :)

Looks like you got mostly wildtypes with some leucistics, and it looks like you may have a few melanoids in there as well.

    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?
