So i've noticed in my newst batch of eggs the developments seem to be strange. Most of them look to be around the same stage but one paticular egg already has gills and a pronounced tail, any reason why one would be so ahead of the others? they're currently around 5-8 days old.
will upload a photo soon

    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?
