Hey all, its been awhile since I have been on here. Good news is there is a good possibility my C. Orientalis might be gravid. What should I do?
 
Give her plenty of places to lay her eggs and she'll do the rest. Mine prefer to use elodea as their egg laying site.
 
I agree - lots of plants: live and artificial worked well for my female. Some people use egg strips - you can find information at Caudata Culture. Mine laid over 60 eggs and I hatched them all. If you want to do this, I'd remove the eggs as she lays them or she will eat them. It also prevents her from eating the young larvae. You'll need to do water changes pretty frequently for the eggs and especially once they begin to hatch. I also had multiple containers set up so the larvae were all about the same size, again, to avoid predation of larger larvae. Get your tiny live foods going once you see development in the eggs - live Daphnia, BBS, etc. I also mixed with frozen mixtures of the same.

Good luck,
Dana

    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?
