I have recently been given some axolotl eggs, they are pretty much developed and you can see their gills and stuff, so hopefully they will hatch soon!
I have them in a large plastic shoe storage box, with a moss ball, some strands of other plants from my larger tank, a plastic plant and a terracotta pot which has been cut in half, also some larger rocks to add hiding places
I don't have a filter, and I change the water every other day.
The problem I am having is I get a thick build up this slim stuff on the water surface, I know you get it sometimes on larger tanks (I get it in my larger tank but not as bad, I think a little of it is good) but it gets so thick that I can't see into the tank and when I wipe it away to see how the eggs are doing it turns into white stringy stuff?
Does anyone have any idea of what it might be? Or if it is anything to worry about?
Once the eggs have hatched I plan to put them in individual tubs to stop them eating
each other and just make it easier to clean
