*findinG... dang phone!

I have a 10 cm/4 inch axolotl that I keep in a 15 gallon until it's big enough to go with the others. Recently I've been finding these clutches of what could be jelly-like eggs on the glass, low enough for my axie to have laid them. 4-5 clutches! Isn't this far too early? His/her toes aren't even black yet.

Sorry for the bad photo, tried to photograph it after I sucked them into a turkey baster. They seem to contain individual "dots" (unfertilized fetuses?).

Snail eggs ?

Nope, I've only got a couple of ramshorns in there, and their eggs are like a flat bubble with tiny dots in it (I've had ramshorn snails forever so I know how their eggs look).

The mystery eggs are in "3D" - like 0.5 x 0.5 cm clutches of grapes. Bigger, jelly-like, individual spheres that are more "buoyant".

They don't look like any kind of salamander eggs, whatever they might be.

Good to know, thank you! I will keep an eye out for any mysterious inhabitants...! :O

Have you added any live bio media recently? To me it looks a little like growing bio media ?

Nope, nothing. All the things that are in the tank (including the sponge filter) were taken from other tanks, and I haven't seen these anywhere before. Weird.

Did you hatch them out?
