Difference between Leucistic & Albino

[Glitterstars]

Hi all ! New to axies. Just ordered a leucistic & a golden albino. Sooo excited to recieve them. Now i know the basic difference between leucistic & the white albino...but is there a difference in the gills? One prettier than the other?

Not really, just depends on what you like whether or not one is prettier than the other. I like leucistics myself.

sometimes Leucistics can have darker red and black patches in the stalks of the gills. They can also have black freckles around their body along with the dark eyes. The pink parts of the gills are usually the same, in both types they will appear more red when they are active. They overall prettiness of the axolotls gills is usually up to the genetics of the axolotl and not the colour of the individual. Some have big fluffy ones and some have short stumpy ones.
