I have noticed my axies have become very active over the last few days. Figuring mating may soon occur I have been observing them closely. As of this morning I witnessed one of my males place a spermatophore on a piece of drift wood. I have not been able to find any others in the tank. It just seems odd to me that he only placed one.

1. Is there any way of telling if a female has been fertilized, except when the eggs appear?

2. In case the female has been fertilized, is it too stressful to move the female to another tank to lay eggs for a few days?
 
On to day three of the axolotl tango.....

Apparently mating has gone into full swing.
 
She should be fine if you move her - just make sure she has something to lay her eggs on. They like long leaves, and some people use a deconstructed shower puff thing too.

    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?
