Hi everyone, although I have 3 axies, they aren't breeding size and decided to get some fertile eggs. I was transfering the eggs to their hatching tank and wondered, what does everybody else use (toolwise) to make moving eggs easier/safer?
 
I use a patented axolotl transfer device to move eggs and larvae until they get big enough to move with a net That device looks a great deal like a plastic spoon. lol
 
I use a table spoon as it has plenty of room, handy for small larvae too as they are caught in a puddle of water and are less stressed.

    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?
