He or she is nearly 6 months old and I am not sure what he or she is, I know the mum is a black melanoid and dad is a wild type I will attach pictures of them and then my baby

I’m thinking a dark wild type. My understanding is that melanoid axies are uniformly dark. Yours has a mottled appearance. Does he/she have shiny speckles (irridiophores) and gold eye rings? I can’t tell from the photos. Those two things would indicate wild type. The gills are the same color as the body which could indicate melanoid but my wild types were like that. My melanoids were completely dark with no patterns. One of my wild types looked just like yours. I’m no expert but those are my thoughts. Hopefully someone else will chime in with their thoughts as well.
 
No my axolotl does not have shiny speckles or gold eye rings but thank you for reply hopefully someone can also give me some advice what he or she is thank you

I’d say he or she is melanoid then if there’s no speckles or eye rings. He/she’s a real cutie!
