New member. Please don't flush them, they will hatch in the sewers and die in a less than nice way. If you really don't want them take them out and freeze them within the first few days - it will kill the eggs before they have a chance to develop.
Freeze them. This will cause the larvae to go into hibernation mode, dulling their sense of pain before vital functions shut down. They will be unconscious before ice crystals begin to form. Once they are frozen solid, you can dispose of the eggs in the compost or trash.
Axolotls are ravenous consumers of their own eggs, and few will survive if the adults are left in the same tank. At temperatures of 55 to 60°F, the eggs will hatch within two to three weeks. I generally provide them with mild aeration, just enough to keep the eggs slightly moving.
If you allow your axolotls to spawn in an aquarium, you will need to remove either the eggs or the adults before the eggs hatch. Otherwise the adults will eat the hatchlings.
In this instance we strongly recommend contacting the breeder to confirm if the axolotls are related or not. If they are, then the best course of action is culling the eggs, as releasing possibly hundreds of inbred axolotls to the already shallow gene pool will further hurt the species as a whole.
the survival rate should honesly be about 95%. the 5% loss is often due to genetic abnormalities or mutations that cause growth to stop. Keeping 500 eggs to have only a few survive is a husbandry issue, not a genetic one.
The male Axolotls expels between 6 and 30 of these spermatophores around the water in hopes of leading a female over the top of one. Fertilization occurs within a few hours to a couple days, resulting in the female axolotls releasing 400-1000 eggs during spawning.
Feeding Requirements
Newly hatched Axolotls won't start feeding immediately after hatching. They usually only need live foods around 48-72 hours after hatching.
To breed an axolotl you'll need to catch some tropical fish with a bucket, tropical fish can be found in the ocean biomes. Once you've caught the fish feed it to the axolotls so they can enter love mode. Once the axolotls enter love mode a baby axolotl will spawn within a few seconds.
You should do water changes for the eggs once every few days. Make sure it's dechlorinated and the same temperature as the water they were in before (ideal water). As the eggs develop, you will notice some turning white and swelling. Those are dead eggs, and you should remove them ASAP.
The introduction of large numbers of carp and tilapia fish, which compete with axolotls for food and also eat axolotl eggs, has further lowered their population.
The eggs should hatch anywhere from 14 – 30 days at least. Upon hatching, a baby axolotl depends solely on its egg yolk from the embryo as its only food source and until it fully consumes what is left of the egg yolk will it require food.
Fun fact: all albino axolotl will lay pure white eggs. All other axolotl will lay black or half black half white eggs. The colour of the eggs doesn't affect the colour of the axolotl when it hatches though, that is determined by the genetics of the parents.
There are two colours that Axolotl can be, white or black. The white Axolotl eggs are from Axolotls of the Albino family and the black eggs are from Axolotls from the pigmented family.
When they die all of a sudden like that, it's usually due to infection. In addition to changing the water every day, also move them to a clean container every day. Also be sure that you aren't putting in too much brine shrimp. Better luck next time!
Bare-bottom aquariums are not ideal for axolotls because they do not provide them with anything to grip. This can cause unnecessary stress and even sores on the end of their toes. Gravel is also not ideal because it can be easily swallowed and lead to an impaction that they may not be able to pass.
Axolotls can survive out of water for around one hour, provided that the area is moist and damp. Axolotls are pretty demanding creatures when it comes to their right environment.
Female axolotls can lay up to 1,000 eggs. Female axolotls have a big job ahead of them when it's time to lay eggs. Like many amphibians, axolotls are known to produce several hundred eggs at a time. In some cases, clutches can consist of 1,000 or more eggs!
In one mating, a female axolotl may lay up to 1500 eggs. The eggs have a 95 percent hatching success rate so you can get more than 1000 babies. It's always best to sell the babies because you can't raise all of them in a tank.
But even with breeding, this rarest Axolotl variant has less than a 0.09% chance of spawning in Minecraft. And its rarity is just the tip of the iceberg of this Axolotl's story. So, for once and for all, let's put an end to the mystery and find out what is the rarest Axolotl in Minecraft.
Players can get a blue axolotl from breeding them, finding one naturally, or by using spawn eggs. By far the easiest way, however, is by enabling cheats and using console commands to spawn a blue one.
