Hi, I have 2 female ribbed newts and almost every time I do a water change, they lay a ton of eggs. I try not to flood them, to set this off, but it happens anyway. Why is this a problem? Well, how do I clean up all this gooey stuff? If I leave it alone, the eggs get moldy after a while. Before that, they get strands of the goo in their mouths when trying to eat. I can't siphon it--it's too gooey. I have to take all the plants out and try to hand-strip them and then put them under running water. Does any one have recommendations--either for preventing the laying or for cleaning up? Help please, thanks, Katharine
