:confused:

I'm new to caring for axolotls. I was just wondering if anyone could help me identify what this was? I was cleaning out my tank and i realized that there was something stuck on my fingers and I found 12 of these in my tank? they seem to look like eggs but I'm sure my two females were way too young to be able to breed, also saw there was alot of poop or something around them? not too sure if anyone could help me out that would be appreciated, not sure what to do with them, just found them about 3 days ago and I have never stumbled across this. :confused:

They are eggs. It's hard to see them clearly but do you have an albino and another type female? The eggs look a variety. After three days they should be starting to look more oval than round inside.

thanks for the confirmation
I realized that they're all different aswell,
some black, some white, some yellow/goldish marks
I've only got two females 1 Wild, 1 leucistic
and 1 Male leucistic i just checked them again today, two of them
i have noticed a change in two of the white ones would this indicate
the other eggs are duds?

There is a great thread on axolotl.org that shows the development of the eggs and it shows what duds look like. If you plan on keeping some it is helpful.

    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?
