Pleurodeles eggs at last!

My breeding group of (4.4) Pleurodeles waltl (Spanish ribbed newts) have begun to lay eggs. I am ready though, i have plenty of Daphnia and cyclops backed by bbs to feed all of the hungry mouths. I haven't been able to pick out the female(s) that laid them though, but I do know a couple of them look like they will soon be mothers as well!

Congratulations Jacob! It sounds like you are very well prepared. Once they start they should lay regularly and have a fairly extended season. Mine only stop for the hottest part of the summer but I normally get well over 1,000 eggs a year from them. Enjoy raising them it's hard work but very rewarding.
Cheers,

Wow that's pretty cool. You should try to figure out whose male and whose female though. It can be helpful at times.

Well, I am almost positive what female it is, but the male could be any of them. All of the males will mate with all of the females, it is just a guessing game there.

    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?
