Eggs hatched faster than I thought.

Sorry to be such a bother all.

Well I did a water change last night. I tried to pure the de chlorinated water very slowly and generally, but it still made the eggs swirl around.

got home from work. And I have little swimmer! But I’m a little worried that they might be too small/ pre mature? Thoughts?

I’m going to move the hatched ones to their new shallow tanks.

This is my first time. My anxiety is through the rough.

thanks for all the help. Here’s some pictures.

You mean remove all the eggs that haven’t already formed into larvae? The ones that are still ball shaped?

I knew enough to remove the ones that started looking cloudy/ fuzzy.
but didn’t know if I should move all the eggs not formed that looked normal, thinking maybe they were just gonna take longer.
But okay. Thanks for the info.
I really appreciate it.

    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?
