I would like to start breeding axolotls, but since it is my first time, i do not want to care for more than 15 juveniles; and i know they can have up to well over a hundred eggs at a time. is their anything i can do besides simply killing the eggs, i do not want to be inhumane.
i dont mind if other adult axols eat them as that is a natural but i personally dont not want to destroy a fertilized egg.

1.will the parents eat all of the remaining eggs i do not remove from the tank to be raised?
2. any other suggestions i can do so i dont have to raise so many axols?
 
I don't even own an axolotl yet, but from what I've read it seems the parents munch up the remaining eggs in a day or two.
 
I would suggest you try to find homes for the unwanted eggs/resulting larvae. Seems that axolotls are pretty scarce in Canada, so I would post an ad in the FS section at the bottom of the Forum Index page when the time comes.

The adults should take care of excess eggs and/or excess larvae you end up with. Other species of newts/salamanders will eat the larvae too if you have any.
