My black axolotl laid her first ever batch of eggs just about a fortnight ago. I was very excited, and have been monitoring them daily.

This morning, the same axolotl is laying more eggs. Is this normal?! My other female, although looking larger than normal, has laid none. Should I worry? Please help! :confused:
 
I have a question - is there a male in your tank? Otherwise the eggs are unfertilized...
 
That is normal if you didn't separate the female from any males. If that is the case you should definitely separate them because otherwise they may continue to breed and that is very hard on the female's body. Egg production robs their body of nutrients and can weaken them.
 
the axolotl will not lay unfertilised eggs, so unless you have any other axolotls, your other female is a male

    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?
