Axolotls… Ever heard of them? Of course you do! Why are we on this topic exactly? Well…

Our axolotls just decided to, err… Have hundreds of babies. Yea, we now need to take care of all of them!!

Backstory:

Day 1: The day all the eggs were laid.

The date’s December 13, 2025. These little guys decided to mate and make hundreds of eggs overnight… They are just everywhere, from the mini-tree, to the sponge filters, to even the tubing system! Tell me why they just decided to make all of these babies axolotls!

Day 2: Not much changed.

We started to prepare by giving my Fish tank away to dad. We were also learning how to take care of them too!

Day 3: The opposite of Day 2!

Today, there was a huge change to their appearance. They have tails now! I feel like they are going to hatch before we’re ready! We just started growing their food, Brinshrimp (or a shrimp named Brian), and Daphnia! We learned that they vacuum the food up instead of just eating them up. Since they will also suck up the sand, that means they could die by the sand! We are planning to move them to a larger tank, without the sand after they hatch…

Day 6: Still setting up…

On the lovely day of 12/22/2025, the babies inside the eggs are moving more than ever! Most of these eggs are still alive. We are going to travel to Grandma’s to celebrate Christmas, but, we better hope that the eggs don’t hatch while we are gone!

How are they looking right now?

They are looking great so far, they haven’t hatched yet. Which is good for us! We have also set up the fish tanks for the babies, and have their food growing! I’ll keep posting updates on these little guys.

In conclusion, we had those Axolotls lay hundreds of eggs in one night. Now, we have a ton of babies we need to take care of now!
