Hi everyone!

I was getting ready to clean out my axolotl tank and i noticed a few white ball type things in the tank, upon closer inspection i saw that they were eggs!! This is my female gold's first clutch of eggs and she has currently laid about 30+ and is still going... She has been laying for about an hour now, so im just wondering how long it will take before she stops laying? Also how many *fertile* eggs she will lay and if like some other animals, will most of her eggs be duds?

The father is either another gold or a wild type although the tank is full of spermatores so i have no idea whom they belong to or if they are a mixture of both. Anyway, i am interested to know if anyone in australia around sydney area would like some of the babies if any survive.

Aaaaand one more question!! (sorry) How much brine shrimp eggs in grams should i get?
 
Females can take up to 3 days to finish laying. Expect a few hundred.

Sometimes a female's first batch isn't that successful, but you can probably expect a good few hatchlings. You'll know after the first few days when they start to change shape.

    Hello. I’m looking for some input. My axolotl is about 7 months old. I came home and her gills are completely white. I was reading that they do shed around this age. Could this be why her gills are white? The ph is 6.5-7. Nitrates are 80 Nitrites 0.5

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu

    I believe my axolotl is constipated. I got him 8 days ago and have not seen any poop in his tank. I have a 20 gallon tank. No other tank mates. 2 hides and a bare bottom. I didn't feed him the last two days. His belly looks swollen and dark in color. I believe it is the food you can see. I fed him blood worms and soft quick sinking axoloty pellets. I tested his water today. Ph was 7.6. The nitrite and nitrate were both zero. The ammonia was 0.25 ppm. I was advised to cycle my tank due to the lack of nitrate. I added Seachem stability 10 ml to my tank yesterday and 5 ml today. I have a tank chiller. The water temp is set at 64. He is still active, but his tail floats up when he is moving about the tank. I am on the fence about fridging him. I also don't know how long to go without feeding him. I don't want to harm him. Please help asap. Thank you.
