So here's the situation; I've had my axolotl, Andrew, for about 2 years, and up until now, I (stupidly) thought she was a boy. But recently, a close friend of mine surrendered her male axolotl to me out of a lack of means to care for him. And seeing how different their anatomies are made me suspicious as to Andrew's true sex. But today, my suspicions were confirmed when I looked into their tank to see every plant covered with eggs. I removed the plants and put them into bowls of water without removing them from the plants, out of fear that they would clump together and be deprived of oxygen. But a couple hours later, I looked back into the tank to find even more eggs. (There's no way I just missed them, I triple checked the whole tank and there were enough to be visible at first glance.) So how will I know when she's done laying eggs? And when they hatch, how many babies would be safe to house in each tank community? Honestly any advice you can give me helps here. Although I've done my research, this is still completely new territory for me. Thank you so much.
