Breeding Coppers?

[celestiallotls]

So before anyone lectures me, I am an absolute beginner at genetics. Lets just say someone didn't do all that great in that unit in middle school bio. I have a copper mel, confirmed het copper, from leucistic and mel parents, both also het copper. I bought him from a breeder but she confirmed this. I am also interested in a melanoid who's hets I am unaware of. If I were to breed these two, would I get any copper mels/coppers? And if anyone has some good up to date articles on the basics of genetics when it comes to axolotls that would be great too! Thanks

Since the copper gene is recesive, you will not get coppers unless the malenoid is also het for copper.
