Hey I found eggs in my tank this morning unexpectedly and was wondering if I leave them in there will the older axolotls eventually eat them?

Yes. The older axolotls will happily eat them. Sometimes a few larvae may be lucky enough to hatch- and may survive if you happen to have cyclops or other inverts in the tank. But if you aren't ready to rear any, leaving them in is no problem. It will allow the female to recover some of her nutrients by eating them.

    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?
