What happens to the jelly after hatch do you remove it?
and dose the jelly egg split when they hatch out of age or is it forsed open by the larvea in side?

The larvae works its way out through he jelly, not too sure how, but mine did an awful lot of wriggling to get through( I wonder if the larvae produces a hormone to weaken it because its tough stuff! ) . I then used the trusty turky baster to suck out the empty casing, and any that just don't hatch.

    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?
