One of my axolotls laid eggs unexpectedly a while ago. I had/have them in some small tubs, but they were pretty crowded so I got one big tub expecting to put them in eventually. I left the tubs outside for a month to try to get the chemicals and stuff off. I put them in and they all died :mad:. So now I only have small ones and big ones. Some of the small ones are floating. I can see the bubbles in a few of them. What should I do?

I had a hard time following what you meant by the end of this post. You said all the eggs died? What is floating now?

About half of the babies died, but a few of the babies that survived have air bubble in them and are floating on their back.

Check the water parameters, usually having air bubbles either means fungus, or and ''air bubble problem" The technical terms, I knoweth not.

    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?
