I’ve only had my axolotls since April and had no idea I had a male and female until today. Stormfly laid about 100 eggs and there’s obvious spermatophore at the bottom of the tank. I moved as many of the eggs as I could into a separate 5 gallon tank but I’m not sure what to do now. How do I know if they are fertile? Do I need to clean out the spermatophores? Should I separate my axolotls now? This is all pretty new to me and was a total accident and now I’m not sure what to do! Help!!!!

    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?
