I agree, just put them in a pot with water and the tissue paper should come off.

OR just don't worry about it, cut away the excess tissue paper if they wont' come off and let them develop stuck to the paper. It won't hurt them.

Sorry WhiteWolf!! I forgot to tell you (blush) Yes just stick it in the water with the eggies (dechlorinated) and let it melt of, swish around Then put the clean eggs into fresh dechlorinated water. That's how I did it. How are the babies? Mine have hatched now and are shtuffing daphnia. FYI daphnia will eat till they die make sure you dont overfeed LOL!!

    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?
