Day 11 - PM

They are developing more visible features now, you can see clearly with the naked eye their small gills although they dont show up that good in the pictures, one or two of them you can also see their eyes starting to show.

They all doing pretty good, the gills are more noticible now and the triplets twitching and moving about in their cramped egg sack.

Day 12 - Update

I have noticed that the jelly surrounding the eggs was starting to disolve and that the larvae is jerking about a lot in their sack so thats a good indication they are about to hatch. I have got out all my little plastic tubs again and my table is taken over again.
I have split the eggs up into the different tubs and also got my supply of BBS ready to make when I need to.

Thanks

you have two options, one is to use a image hosting website like TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting just upload the image and get the link you can use on here. Once you have the link post a new message and click on the image of a mountain left of the hash symbol, just insert the image link to that and it will be added to the posting
second option is to add attachments to the bottom of the post by scrolling down and clicking manage attachments. Both are acceptable but it all depends what you think is better for your post.

Day 16 (1)

As of 1.55am today three little axolotls have been born.

Day 16 (1) - PM

So far only 4 have hatched and they all come from container #1, there is no sign that the eggs in the other containers are going to hatch soon.
I have noticed that when they hatch they come out tail first, the sack disolves, the tail is exposed then disolves along the body and the head is last to come out.

The four hatchlings

Day 17 (2)

Just after midnight another little one hatched, again from container #1
