Well I am my 50 gallon tank is set up and ready for my babies! (new pics soon to come) I have 2 albino Axolotls and found a protein black axolotl. I want to put them in the same take and was wondering what color I would get if they bread? They are about the same size so I am not worried about them not getting along and will also have the protein in a separate take for the first few weeks. I don’t know that they are ready to breed but just wondering what will happen when, if they do.
 
So from my experience, the babies turn out to be about half and half. How old are the axolotls? I've heard that with females you want to make sure they are a year old before they breed so that their body can be done maturing before it has to take on the responsibility of developing eggs.

When you say "protein black" do you mean black melanoid? I don't think you mean protein.

Unless you know what the black axolotl's parents looked like, there is no way to know what the offspring would be. They'd either all be dark, or half would be white.

    Hello. I’m looking for some input. My axolotl is about 7 months old. I came home and her gills are completely white. I was reading that they do shed around this age. Could this be why her gills are white? The ph is 6.5-7. Nitrates are 80 Nitrites 0.5

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu

    I believe my axolotl is constipated. I got him 8 days ago and have not seen any poop in his tank. I have a 20 gallon tank. No other tank mates. 2 hides and a bare bottom. I didn't feed him the last two days. His belly looks swollen and dark in color. I believe it is the food you can see. I fed him blood worms and soft quick sinking axoloty pellets. I tested his water today. Ph was 7.6. The nitrite and nitrate were both zero. The ammonia was 0.25 ppm. I was advised to cycle my tank due to the lack of nitrate. I added Seachem stability 10 ml to my tank yesterday and 5 ml today. I have a tank chiller. The water temp is set at 64. He is still active, but his tail floats up when he is moving about the tank. I am on the fence about fridging him. I also don't know how long to go without feeding him. I don't want to harm him. Please help asap. Thank you.
