heya! I'm new to axolotl eggs, and I've just checked them now, and there seems to be some white stuff surrounding them....it wasn't there yesterday....what could it be? And what can I do to get rid of it? xx

If the eggs are not too far gone with fungus (even if they are, there's no harm in trying), you may be able to save them using a salt solution.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt (either kosher salt, fresh water aquarium salt, or sea salt. DO NOT USE TABLE SALT) to one liter of de-chlorinated water. When all salt has dissolved, put the eggs you wish to save into the solution, leave in for about ten or so minutes, and then take them out of the salt bath, and put them back in original container. Further information on using salt baths can be found here: Caudata Culture Articles - Salt Solutions in Treating Salamanders

    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?
