What else do you have in the tank with your axolotl? and do you have a picture of the axolotl too?
They almost look like seeds..

They are insect eggs, but I don't know what kind. Definitely not from the axolotls.

I did a quick search using google for ' Apple snail eggs' and was surprised to see how similar they look to yours. Do you know which species of snail you have as the only one I could come up as a live bearer was a Malayan or trapdoor snail.

Hi Rita,

Snails are haemaphrodite. They possess both male and female parts so a single snail can still reproduce. I agree with the rest that they look like snail eggs.

Cheers.

I had these exact things in a tank that had never had anything in other than plants and those tiny snails that breed like hell.
They were in with the gravel and they popped when squashed.
They must be some kind of snail egg as i had never had anything else in 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?
