i doubt my newts are attempting to become mammals.....i have had the popei breeding for months now-sometimes only a few eggs a week(between 5 females) and sometimes 5 a day. of all the eggs recently, i have ones that have no colour (and i believe to be duds) and those that have either a dark blackish pole or a brown pole. of these eggs i can see what appears to be folding (but my eyes arent what they used to be)-when i go back to check on them they are pale and fuzzy (read as : dead!) so i am going to bring some in tonight and view them under the microscope-but until then-can anyone tell me how i might remedy this?? are the females producing too much that they no longer do viable eggs?(i can see sperm deposits regularly and tail chasing) when using the salt method to help prevent 'fungus'(isnt it really a slime mold?) how much salt to use?(regular aquarium salt-right?)it is getting to the point that all i can find are duds....so im frustrated. my biggest female is so big i am afraid if i take her out of water she may egg bind(is this possible in newts?)..help please....
