So, to my surprise, I discovered some eggs in my <1 yr T. Dobrogicus’ tank this weekend. I need to move them out of the tank ASAP so they don’t get eaten, but had a few questions:

Does anyone have suggestions for where to house the eggs once removed? Is there a minimum size needed? I’ve seen them kept in containers with shallow water and daily partial water changes so I’m considering that, but I also have one of those fish breeder boxes I could keep them in if staying in a cycled aquarium is better. It could also help prevent large temperature swings.

Are there any lighting/temperature requirements to keep in mind?

Is there a better way to transfer the eggs than moving all the plants/cutting off leaves with eggs on them?

Thank you for your help!

    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?
