What are my new hatchlings?

[kidaround]

The female is GFP wildtype, and my male is Leucistic. I cannot understand the genetics page, and I also don't know who the grandparents are. Here's what I do know...I had some hatch that almost looked like they didn't have eyes. They were dark at first, and are now lightening up. I can definetly tell they have eyes now. Almost silvery in color. I thought maybe it was the GFP in them because my female has green eyes. So I decided to take a black light to see if my thought was correct. Well half of the ones with silver eyes glowed and half did not. So...hmm....what are they and why are their eyes silver? I love the variety though!

Also, I recieved some eggs from another member, and his hatched out VERY white with black eyes Leucistics. Mine however hatched out darker, but seem to be lightening up to a light gray. This might sound stupid but do Leucistics hatch out different colors from one breeding pair to the next?

The light coloured ones with dark eyes are almost certainly leucistic although they could also be light wildtypes. The ones with with light coloured eyes look as though they are some kind of albino. Keep us posted as the grow up. Very nice!

Thanks Neil! I'll admit I was excited when they hatched, and how they looked different than the parents I just wasn't sure what was going on!
