new2discus Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 It's probably a matter of try and see. I dont personally know which colours are dominant, but you may have to simply find an individual carrying the right colours to get more blotched babies. For example lets say black is dominant, white recessive, B x w = Bw (black coloured, but carrying white) now cross this Bw x B and you should get 75% black and 25% white, or if you crossed the Bw x w you should get 50/50 black and white. My point is you dont know what an individual may be carrying cryptically, that you cant see so you will quite likely get varying results from different pairings!

kapo Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Livingart Your axolotl is probably classed as a "piebald" which unlike the leucistic (white with dark eyes - some have dark colouring spots on top of head and body) is quite rare. Check out the following link that will give you a better explanation of genetics/colouring. http://www.axolotl.org/genetics.htm You may be able to determine then what you can breed it with, but chances are you may not necessarily come off with another piebald but a mixture of parentage (dark/white/golden).

Oh and I found the perfect food ! Live fish - I dont recall the the name of them - perhaps someone can help with this?
