i have 1 female & 2 males i'm not sure of the ages of them i've had them 4-5 months & the female is getting really fat is she pregnant? if so how long will it b before she lays her eggs?
 
Can you post a picture? A top view would be the best. Is she more fat on one side?
 
the female usually gets rounder with eggs around sexual maturity (which can range from 10-18 months or longer). If one of the males has dropped spermataphore round the tank and she's picked it/them up then it can take a day/few days up to a week or so to lay eggs. A friend's axie laid eggs overnight after picking up spermataphore the day before (he'd seen pickup and laying); then with another batch of egg laying another female had picked up spermataphore but took a week to week and half to lay eggs (he was just finishing lifting out the 1st batch of eggs).
 
Carrying eggs is possible, but there is also a disease called bloat. Without a photo, it's hard to distinguish them.
 
So please help - I have had 4 lots of spawning - loads of babies and they all die within a fortnight - HELP
 
so she was pregnant had her eggs some time early morning i've removed them in2 another tank so what now? how long will the take 2 hatch? what food will they need? any other tips would b useful

    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?
