sparrowmayhem Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hi there, My axolotl has just laid her first batch of eggs (120 odd of them), and since she stopped laying she hasn't stopped moving around the tank - swimming, walking around a lot... sometimes frantically. Is this normal behaviour? I have covered the tank so movement outside the tank and the light didn't disturb her but she is still carrying on with the same behaviour. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I had some drop eggs recently to and the females are still a bit restless...could just be normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 she has just given birth and is walking off the pain yes is normal behaviour for a while she will settle and go back to normal did you get to see her laying eggs they grip weed etc with front legs and tail and use the back legs to stick the eggs onto the weed quite a delicate operation for something that can appear gormless most of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrowmayhem Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Yes we saw some of the laying happening, she did exactly as you said and laid about 20 eggs before having a break and laying them on another plant lol. Was quite awesome to watch for the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
