I have baby axolotl eggs that are 6 days old a lot are developing as I have seen them moving but I have some white thick round eggs left some fallen to the bottom of tank as you will see in pictures, do I remove the white ball ones now or when they all hatch? There’s not much information I can find in this subject so I thought best ask here, I have them in thier own tank without a parent.

Also I was planing on buying daphnia already live from a pet shop in a bag do I need to water them off so no salt or can I put the bag into the tank as it is?
 
Hi,
My first answer would be yes, remove the white non-developped eggs.
Anyways, the other eggs seem to be well advanced and you'll probably get a lot of live and healthy hatchlings within a few days.
Then you'll be able to throw away all the empty gellies and the dead eggs.

As for daphnias, it's a good idea.
Daphnias are freshwater little critters, so there won't be problems with salt.
Nevertheless, a usual advice is no pourring water from the pet shop in your tank, so you'd better catch your daphnias with a thin net before putting them with your baby axolotls.
Remember that, once hatched, the babies won't be able to eat for the first 2 or 3 days.
