Hello caudata.
Just a couple hours ago, two of my three axolotls started laying eggs everywhere. This caught me severely offguard as
1. I thought they were all male
2. They are each around 8-9 months old
3. I hadn’t noticed any spermatophores
Now I have a container full of eggs and they are still laying !! Yikes.
I have so many questions!
1. Some of the eggs are all white. I bred leucistic x melanoid so it wouldn’t really make sense for them to be albino- are they just unfertilized and cloudy?
2. There is still much debris stuck to the gel on the eggs from the bottom of the adults’ tank (don’t worry, since I’ve noticed the eggs, I’ve put in more plants so that they don’t lay on the bottom). Will the debris rot and kill the eggs?
3. Is it ok to keep the whole batch in one container? Do I just scoop them out of their parents’ aquarium into a small container to hatch?
4. When they do hatch, is it ok to feed them chopped bloodworms?
I’m so excited, but also nervous that I won’t be able to care for them correctly. Please help !
