My axolotl had eggs on march 31st. Today i was changing some of the water from the tub i have the eggs in and noticed what looked like an empty egg sack but didnt think anything of it at the time. A few minutes later as i was finishing up i noticed a little baby swimming around. It does look a little underdeveloped but it is still active and moving around so i hope it will make it, i am setting up my brine shrimp hatchery tomorrow so it will have food.

I'm not trying to be negative, but I wouldn't think it's going to make it. From my experience with raising baby axolotls, there's definitely going to be some that won't make it especially if they're first time parents.

How did the baby do? How are the rest of the clutch?

    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?
