Hi Helena.

What is fussion?

Newly hatched axolotl larvae feed well on live brine shrimp. This article is very useful

Follow this video on how to hatch baby brine shrimp (basically sea monkeys), when they are a bit bigger you can feed them daphnia then live blood worms.

Hi there, hope your babies are doing well. I see from your previous query that you did get replies from two members. Maybe you wanted someone to let you know about an easier option than hatching brine shrimp, but I think there is no other way. Once I set up my hatchery from plans I found by googling, (and once I found some great Brine Shrimp eggs) I can do feeding and water cleaning in less than ten minutes morning and night, and I have had only two die out of 61 in 9 days. So I think that brine shrimp are definitely nutritious enough for the little guys and there is no magic wand. But then, would we love them so much if they were easier to raise? Good luck.
