Axolotl update

It's been two weeks now since the Axolotls laid their eggs.  The axolotls, to begin, with were very protective of the eggs, always approaching the glass when we were looking in.

However some time during the first week the axolotls decided they actually didn't really care that much about the babies and that they would rather eat them.

We started off with about 50 eggs spread throughout the tank and slowly group by group they started to disappear.  On the other hand the axolotls are now looking rather fat and healthy. Must be all the extra food they are eating.

After two weeks we are down to only a handful of eggs that are clinging on for dear life.  They have changed a lot in the last week with their legs now visible as well as their gills.  A couple of the babies have started to grow eyes so it can't be long before they start to hatch.

Will wait for that day with great excitement.
