So roughly a week ago I found spermatophores in my tank for the first time. I was excited at the prospect of possibly having some babies, but the females seemed pretty uninterested in the males. I was beginning to lose hope that I'd see babies anytime soon.
Fast forward to today. I got out of work tonight and arrived home a little bit after 8pm. I came upstairs to check on my CRS, one of which just had babies. After staring at my tank for a few minutes, unable to spot any of the shrimplets, I turned my attention to my axolotl tank... Both of my males were going absolutely nuts! I watched them go after one of my females for a minute or two, and as they moved around the tank I noticed a lot of spermatophores... and something that looked entirely different. Then I look up... there are albino eggs EVERYWHERE. As I type this, my golden albino is still laying eggs, poor girl looks exhausted.
Though I'm excited about this, I'm more hopeful about my other female... my COPPER female. She is normally wandering about the tank, following me around and watching me intently. Right now she is just being lazy in the plants and looking quite plump. I don't think she has laid any eggs yet, but her behavior is very similar to my golden female, who finally seems to be taking a rest in one of the hides. I suppose it's possible that they both laid eggs, given that they are both albino... but I'm pretty sure it was just the one. I guess I'll find out soon enough.
