Default Is anyone breeding Melanoid or Golden Axolotls?

I have leucistic eggs at the moment and i have about 6 or 7 that are growing very nicely.

I would like to breed my axolotls when they get older, however i can't mate brothers and sisters so i would obviously need completely different axies. I was just wondering if anyone was breeding golden or melanoid types that were at a similar stage.

Thanks very much.

To be honest I don't know a lot on breeding and genetics, but on an old forum I used to go on for Axolotl's, people would breed brothers and sisters and even father and daughter. One of the results created many PieBald Axies, with one of them being albino half and the other half being wild coloured. Simply weird it was.
