Hey Alex, congrates on the eggs!!

I have just hatched my first lot of eggs as my first batch were all duds :(
I found the following photos really helpful in telling how they should be lookingAxolotls - Embryo Photo Log

My girl put her eggs on plants, hard surfaces, the ground even the glass! they all turned out fine. I moved my eggs out of the tank away from mumma and dadda- to be on the safe side! pretty sure they are ok until the babies start moving then M&D maybe interested in eatting them!

My girl 'Alfred' was a little funny on food for a day or so, but I just keep offering her at different times. I also found she was still dropping eggs for 2 days....not sure if that is why! its a lot of work for her to lay all the eggs so keep with it! Once Alfred got eatting she was big time hungrey!
hope this all helps...I am very new to this too....so I am still working it all out!
cheers!

    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?
