Looky what we have here

[nathan]

I have eggs!!!
ok I had my new female and male separated for a week, and then I put em back together and the next morning there’s some spermatophore and then today there’s more (9) and now I come back from school to fined eggs

(has she heard of the morning after pill

Pics later, o I forgot to add she is still going and also they are half white half black (the ones my other axies laid were full white)

 

[nathan]

she laid some on the air stone i have in there, is that good (because they need quite a bit of air) or bad

 

[jordan]

An air pump and air stone at one end of the tank will be helpful, just be sure it doesn't cause vigorous water flow. Thats from www.axolotl.org. I hope it helped.

 

[nathan]

Hey guys, the males hassling the female and keeps knocking her when she gets ready to lay her eggs, should I separate him?

 

[anne-marie]

Hey, congrats! You've been waiting quite some time, Nathan. Maybe after a couple of days, you can scrape the eggs off the airstone. Just be prepared for 2-3 hours per day maintenance after they hatch.

 

[nathan]

ha ha it's so funny watching them, when the male goes under her she raps her back legs around him ready to lay

[jordan]

Yea i think you should move the eggs from the air stone.

 

[hailz]

Congrats nathan! are you going to try and raise all the eggs? when will we see some piccy's?

 

[nathan]

[casey]

Nathan, the wild-type in the pic looks so proud and happy! how cute! Good luck with raising them, make sure you post heaps of pics!

 

[jordan]

what are you going to do with them when they are older, where will they go?

 

[garrison]

I have to admit it looks like you have a very proud mother there

 

[jordan]

Do you know how many eggs there are???

 

[hailz]

lol, your axie looks so pleased with herself, great piccy's, and congrats again, looks like your going to be very busy soon!

 

[nathan]

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Jordan, depends on how many there are but I will keep a few and sell the rest, I will work out something. I don’t have any idea how many there are.

 

[jordan]

Are all the eggs dark or do you have a mix?

 

[nathan]

nope, i think that there all black/white eggs

 

[jordan]

ok, thats good that they're all not black, because i would like to have a little more variation.
