Eggs just hatched! Only one is shaped like u an can't swim straight wat shld I do with him! Could it heel or shld I feed him to a angel fish
 
When I had some like that, they never straighten out, and I had to cull them. I don't know if sometimes they do, or if it is inevitable that they won't.
 
I have one that was shaped like a comma, curved sideways. I thought about culling but I didn't. So far it has survived and the curl has started to straighten out a little. It is a lot smaller than it's brood mates.

It is still a little more work to make sure he gets enough food but it is doing very well.

All the slightly curved shaped babies I had straightened out. All the U shaped "spinners" eventually died even with special care and attention...

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
