Hi guys,

Ive just got my black wild typre female? at the weekend.

Ive waited over a week to recieve it and went accross Scotland to recieve it.

I waited so long as i asked for a female to go with my lecustic i put them in together and there way a few nips but nothing bad.

I dont really want any males right now for obvious reasons, I was cleaning the tank tonight and to my horror i found a little egg in its sack,it was gray so i knew it was not fertilised, so removed it.

Now im really worried is this supposed "female" actually a male and they are getting warmed up for breeding?

I cant think of any other reason!!

Can some one please tell me in wrong,

Thanks:eek:
 
I'm no vet, but if you're sure you found the egg, they're doing the dirty.

haha.

I'd seperate them ASAP until it's gender becomes clear (if you can't already tell). It could just be a piece of debris that floated into your tank if it really is a female.
 
I'm no Axolotl expert, but it might be just that your female is laying her infertile eggs that she has in her belly. There is always that possibility that they are fertile and that you do have a female and a male, but chances are slim since you were sure you had a female.
In other species of newts and salamanders females lay the eggs fertile or not. So no need to worry. But there is always that possibility that i'm wrong.
Hope things turn out as planned for you.

    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.
