Help! Accidental Eggs!

[thesestarsistole]

Help! I awoke to a surprise this morning when our axolotl tank had little eggs all over the place. I went out and got a 40 gallon tank but (that’s all i could afford right now in order to separate my axolotls in the future.) i have no filter/substrate for the second tank yet.

Please help me decide wether to leave the eggs that the collected in the tupperware container i’ve begun collecting them in or put them in the new tank with cycled water? i work full time so i’m looking for something where i can kind of let the eggs do their own thing! i still want a chance at hatching them but i have no clue what i’m doing.

any tips are appreciated! thanks.

no they are not; they’re from when we first got them. they’re about 12-14 months old right now we believe.

I can take some of the eggs if you would like.

I saw those links; it seems like most people keep them in shallow containers with no substrate or filtration. if that’s correct do i need to do water changes or anything to them as eggs or only once they’ve hatched?

Congratulations to your Axies' new family! Definitely set up a tank divider if you haven't already as breeding is incredibly stressful and physically bearing on the female, not to mention, adult axolotls can be cannibalistic. I do hope you keep documentation on this though as it would be interesting to hear how many make it to adulthood.

I bought the other tank with plans to separate them as soon as i can get a filter. I read that reproduction is hard on females so we will for sure be putting mama into her very own tank. I will post an update here shortly.
