woohoo

wow your lucky its very hard to find albino here in newzealand the last one up for sale went at $150 newzealand dollars couldnt belive it that is plain albino i think there are a few golden ones out there its my dream to own an albino axie and would pay 100 plus for one lol thats how nutty i am about them and ive only had them since november lol

if you get two golden albino axies would majority be golden albino? do they produce normal white albino that often or is it plain luck because most here are golden or golden albino was considering trying to get white albino from golden albinos
 
If two golden albinos mate, the babies will be all albino, a mix of golden and white. There are other genetic factors involved whether they're white or golden (not just the 'albino gene').
 
thanks for that still getting to grips with genetics ect i understand that previous generations make up part of the hatchlings genetics but genetics will be stronger from mum and dad am i on the right track?
 
Genetics are passed down 50% from each parent. That is, each parent carries two alleles for a gene, and they pass one to the offspring. These can be dominant or recessive. Dominant genes are expressed over recessive genes. If both parents are carrying one dominant allele and one recessive allele, there's a chance that the offspring can inherit one recessive allele from mom and one recessive allele from dad. That's why you can get albinos (two copies of the recessive allele) from two wildtype parents (both with one copy of the dominant allele and one copy of the recessive allele). The parents carry the allele but don't express it. Recessive alleles can be passed down through generations before being expressed.
 
thanks kaysie man was i way of lol slowly getting the hang of it they way you put it makes it easyer for me to understand as im not to sure what some of the proper scientific words mean that are on this site
 
For some reason, I absolutely love this 'genetics' thing. Inheritance and such... it tickles my fancy. I'm such a nerd.

Just to clarify: there are two alleles that make a gene. These alleles can be dominant or recessive (sometimes there's codominance or incomplete dominance, but that's not relevant here).
 
im with you on that im loveing axolotls there so fascinateing im into genetics as well the whole if you put this and that together you get this but im not smart enough to understand the language to no what im talking about lol

Ps Ive found the one i want to keep for myself it seems to be developing faster than others it is now a egg shaped lavae? embryo? and has more white than black so hopeing leusistic like dad
 
You can't tell if they're leucistic in the egg. They'll all hatch out dark. The white part of the egg develops into the yolk, and has nothing to do with the color of the actual larvae.
 
The jelly is just a protective coating. Unfertile eggs usually 'self destruct' and flatten out after a few days. If the others are starting to turn bean-shaped, and some haven't, chances are those are infertile.
