Well my new bestest internet mate ichris sent me a bunch of axolotl eggs. Currently there in a tank with water and are forming there gills in the egg. Problem is chris sent them rapped up in paper to keep the eggs moist and the eggs have stuck to the paper like **** to a blanket so i had to put the paper in the tank as well which woried me as paper ferments. Anyways got some brine shrimp going and some microworms on the way and got some frozen daphnia handy. i have chinese containers for later seperation if need be and when they hatch i'll put an airston e in the tank. no substrate in the tank just bare bottom for now the tank is around a foot long and i have 2 of these tanks one for backup. any other suggestions would be greatest appreciated thanks.
 
Don't worry about the paper in the tank, I've had to do that many times. It degrades very slowly, I wouldn't agree that it "ferments". Not in an aquarium anyway.

Add some live plants, or other material that has been in aquariums.

Enjoy!
 
ta mate
paper breaks up though and starts going rotten which is fermentation and i am happy now actually they should hatch in a couple of days monday i think they'll hatch going by the way there going. good well airated water seems best. thanks for all your help

    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?
