Hi one of my axolotls has recently layed eggs, I have taken the eggs out from the tank the adults are in and put them in their own, I took some eggs off of the plastic plant then just put the plastic plant into the tank with them, lying horizontally. I had an airpump going on low but then turned it off after spme research, some eggs have already started growing and some have not, the eggs are around 11 days old and I don't know how to tell if they are dead. I took the ones I thought were dead out and put them into a seperate container just in case. Some eggs are white hut then the other side is black. Please help!!

The first photo shows some will developed eggs in, sometimes not all the eggs develop.

Looks like some are now hatching:D

    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?
