Hi,

This is my first time at rearing newts from larvae and was after some reasurance that I'm not missing anything.

I have 8 of them in this small plastic container with an air pump, should I have a plant like java moss in there with them at this size? I have a lid layed lightly on it over night.

I have been feeding them small live Daphnea and brine shrimp. If the food clumps on the bottom of the tub I remove it but it does look like they are feeding. Every other day I do a partial water change using water from my fresh water aquarium.

This is the best picture I can get of them, sorry it's not great!

They are about a week or so old now, should I start them on black worm?

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
