Do i separate eggs from what looks like dead eggs

[Lisa24]

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.

Don't remove the white eggs that risk tearing the good eggs. You can easily remove the white ones on the edge/bottom but be super careful if it's clustered with a bunch of good ones. (At least I think, I'm not an expert but it's happened to me before)

You can pull out a moldy egg out of a cluster, because the eggs are quite resilient due to the egg cases, which are stronger that the "jelly" that binds them. The mold can "infect" a fertilized egg and kill the embryo.
