I'm sure you've heard it before: sold two animals supposedly of the same-sex, fast forward five months and boom wake-up one morning to find out they've bred. Well, it happened. Miss Peaches is not a girl. I've spent most of today researching how to raise them, which is how I ended up here. šŸ˜‚

Mum (leucistic) and dad (golden albino) and their eggs. They've since been harvested into a separate container.

It's day seven since they were laid and the embryos are starting to look axolotl shaped. :D

Looks like another week and the fun starts. Livefood is necessary, preferably your own supply. Local Aquarists would be a good source of cultures. Microworm, Grindal Worm, hatched Brine Shrimp, Daphnia/Moina, Bloodworm, Gnat Larvae. Anything that swims or wiggles in water.
It will be a struggle to raise them all. In the wild only one or two need to survive, be prepared- I see the irony . Your own pond and leave them to it maybe am option. Posting is a bit late, this does happen in the UK. Best of luck, learn for next time, or keep them separate.
Regards David
