A few words of advice, subject to other experts here of course. I treat early eggs with a touch of nox ich - methylene blue - it's copper based, but the eggs seem to tolerate it well and I've never had any fugus issues during egg development. I hit the eggs with it once early on, then do water changes so by the time they hatch it's gone. Just make sure to use a low dose, suitable for scale-less fish. You're doing good on the water changes, that's critical - baby axies are incredibly vulnerable to ammonia spikes, you can lose an entire batch in a few hours if you're not careful. I usually run several cultures of brine shrimp larvae to make sure you've got food. Once they grow for a few weeks you can try other foods such as grindal worms, if you can find a good culture to get started with. If you keep a culture of artemia going for a while you can hit them up with a little chlorella powder and they'll grow, older axolotl larvae can eat these but newly hatched larvae can't. Good luck!
