There are definite wildtypes in there...but a large portion are a faded tan color with clear eyes. Will be interested to see if they are golden albinos or albinos

I will be interested to see, as well. All of my (brother's) babies are still in the egg and completely white.Originally Posted by Jenste
Re: Raising Axolotls
You'd be surprised! For example, if the mother was albino/golden albino and the father is a wildtype, all of the eggs will look white but you will get a fair share of wildtype babies once they hatch

Re: Raising Axolotls
No kidding?? Now I'm even more excited for them to hatch :P
What are you going to feed yours? I purchased some starter cultures for live food. I got grindal worms, vinegar eels, and daphnia. I also have some brine shrimp eggs as back up.
Re: Raising Axolotls
I have been feeding primarily BBS, and I supplement feedings with a mixture of boiled egg yolk and liquidated bloodworms that I sometimes pour a few drops in while they are feeding on BBS.
The egg/worm mixture actually helped me with 2 albinos I am also raising when I had a bad batch of BBS eggs. They lived well off of it for nearly 5 days until I could get a decent batch going. The albinos are now forming their front legs and doing well
