Question: Help feeding my babies

[Kath8118]

Hi I am just about to have my first lot of axolotl babies hatch and was wondering how much brine shrimp they would need. Jeff and Vicky gave me about 100 eggs (which I thought was good for there first time). And also cause I will be keeping a few I was wondering if I should separate them just incase they try to breed with each other or do they know not to instinctively?

I am unclear if you are hatching all 100 eggs or only a few. This will dictate the amount of bbs you will need to feed them through to chopped blood or black worms.

100 is a lot if this is your first time. Trade or sell them off ASAP if you can. Twice a day feelings and daily water changes will quickly become work. Very fun for awhile but work a bit later on.

If you keep mature siblings together they will indeed breed. All animals I know will breed with siblings or their offspring if left in the same tank or pen with each other. Only humans to my knowledge refrain from doing this in most of the world.

Good luck.
