Dragon stone, pressure melting.

Hello Everybody!
today I rescaped my 3-month-old aquarium to get ready to add fish. I picked up my Dragon stones from the tank, it had a weird white jelly on the bottom of the two biggest rocks. It was quite hard to remove, but I got it, it seemed like I had to peel it off (imagine picking up a snail but 10x harder.) I then went and hammered my largest rock in half, a similar goo was created my the powdered rock when wet. was the goo made in the split the same as the white stuff on the bottom? was the white stuff just caused by pressure?
Has anyone had this experience?
Jace

    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?
