Well, do you want to raise them? If not, then leave them in the tank and the parents will dispose of them. If you do want to raise them, I suggest removing a dozen or so, and NOT trying to raise all the eggs the female will lay.

yes, i want to have a go at raising the eggs. so i guess if i remove the carefully and put them in another tank then they should do their thing. just one more question, what do you feed them when they hatch?

Check out the rearing section of axolotl.org for some of the basics. Most people start them on baby brine shrimp or daphnia.

    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?
