Hi guys!

So my Axolotls finally bred and I have around about 100-200 eggs, after I found the eggs I put them in a small tank and placed a heater in the tank and the temp has been around 23-25 degrees Celsius. The eggs looked like they were decoupling nicely within the first few days and now suddenly on day 4-5 they have took a weird shape/ formation. From the Sid the eggs look perfectly fine, however from the top view they all look infertile :/ any help would be awesome, thanks for reading and the long post :)

Sorry for the spelling issues, the autocorrect on my phone seems to have changed a few things. Decoupling is meant to be developing and Sid is meant to say side, thanks :)

Take the heater out - you are cooking the eggs! They need a stable temp of around 18-20C - much warmer than that and they can be damaged, colder is OK as long as the temp is constant.

From that pic some of them still look viable, so give them a few days.

    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?
