My axolotl eggs are white?

[lfrey]

My axolotl laid eggs last night and there white I thought only albino axes laid white eggs. My female is a golden and my male is black. Is this normal?

Congratulations on the eggs!
All the best with the larvae. :happy:

Yes it is true if the mother is albino, the eggs will be white. Goldens, are also albino.

From axolotl.org -

The first is the golden albino (D/D a/a or D/d a/a). It has normal migration of pigment cells, but lacks melanophores, hence the yellow/gold appearance

My ax laid some more eggs late yesterday afternoon. The first 22 that she laid some are starting to neuralate and now I have an extra 15 from yesterday so should be nice.
