If my eggs hatch.

My adults were wc as larvae about 5 years ago. I had infertile and a couple fertile eggs last year, but did better this year.......

I'll try to post more info if/when they hatch. I have had trouble in the past with this species eating it's eggs.
 
Congratulations, as it's well known Necturus aren't easy to breed. Good luck with the eggs. I look forward to updates!
 
This is great news. I'm not sure what the protocol is, but if you could write up something on your technique, I'm sure it would be very much appreciated on the caudata culture pages. It would be nice here too, of course.

Wow, that's really cool. From all the research I've done, it's incredibly difficult to achieve. Finding one has been a real challenge for me. I've been trying to get one for our museums exhibit opening up soon, but have had no luck. Hopefully, your breeding could lead the way of having more accessible mudpuppies without having to catch them in the wild.
 
I am just seeing this, but EK, what type of cycling did you do for yours? I have a couple of long-term cf. beyeri as well and am curious about cycling/conditioning.

Thanks and good luck!

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!
