Breeding Xenopus laevis

Yes, I think the eye colour will change too. The most developed one already has some reddish in his eyes.
It´s kinda strange cause with axolotls you can tell on day 1 if they are white or albino.

Okay I am a little confused do ACF come in white AND albino, these are classified as separate types yes? My 'albino' is white and he has black eyes (well not, not red at least) though.

That is a normal albino.

That is a normal albino.

I see, I wonder why some have red eyes and others black? Mine definitely does not have red eyes.

Albino means they have no pigment, the red is just the blood you see through the cells.

I have good and bad news.
The bad news: the white ones are not leucistics.
The good news: they are reticulated albinos.

An update, sold the wildtypes and now I am planning to keep 1 couple of the reticulated ones, I think they are 2 females and 2 males. The wildtype I bought is a male.

They're lovely! This thread has got me all excited. Some of my tadpoles have just started to develop their back legs.
