Axolotl Eggs - My babies are almost ready to hatch...

[Ibkikn]

So my unexpected eggs are progressing nicely, and I have moved them into a makeshift hatchery on top of my tank.

Hoping they will hatch soon...

Pretty excited to see how these colours develop..

All looks good!

White leucistics by the look of things.

What colors are the parents?

 

[Ibkikn]

Leucistic, coppers and a few Albinos I am hoping for, hope some of my darker ones develop into wilds

Awesome I was wondering how your your babies were going?? As a guess I would say the darker ones may be melanoid my wilds were born with markings and mels are more an even colour I think.
I hope you dont mind I have added some of my pics of the mixed lot I got.

They actually look quite similar.

If you are interested in swapping some juveniles in a month or two would be keen.

=) Keep the gene pool as diverse as possible.

I expect most of mine will be lighter in colour, so am hoping to swap in some darker wilds and a some gold.

2nd batch of eggs, had the 1st hatchling today.

Actually finding the brine shrimp a bit of work, not hard at all, but when I lived in Melbourne my local pet shop always had brine shrimp for sale cheap as, so it made it easy.

But my 8 yo daughter is enjoying it all, and think it is a great teaching exercise and learning opportunity. =)
