breeding preparations + questions about pups

[axolotl nerd]

how should i help my adult female prepare for breeding? i’ve upped her food intake and have offered her lots of bloodworm treats to fatten her up a bit as i understand it takes quite a lot of nutrients to lay the amount of eggs she will.
also, i’m breeding her with a wildtype male who’s parents are both her leucistic. kip is het for golden, axanthic, and leucistic. will i get leucistic babies or all wildtypes? i’m pretty shaky when it comes to genetics, as my last class on it was freshman year of high school. i’m a junior now, and have significant memory loss, so that’s pretty much gone by now, anyways, thoughts anyone?
thanks!

To trigger breeding :
- feed well (exactly what you're planning ; give earthworms, not only bloodworms) the female, but also the male
- change part of the water
- rise the water level

If the female already has a plump body, she probably can breed readily.
Caution ! she will need to be very well fed during several weeks after laying because her ovaries will produce new ovocytes.

great, i’ve been feeding her much more bloodworm treats and earthworms as much as she will eat - so do a water change while they’re together? how much?
thanks for the reply
