Hi all, I haven't posted in a while since my Firebelly newts have been doing well. 2 weeks ago I moved my 3 newts from a 65l tank to a new 160l tank and just as the old tank was almost empty I noticed something move at the bottom of the tank! That's right a little tadpole/larvae! After some hunting I found 8 in total, I put 3 in individual small food tubs and 5 in a small fish tank with a few cms of water, pebbles and some pond weed.
My question is around feeding, I've read they only eat live food such as Daphnia but I've searched everywhere and can only find frozen Daphnia. I've tried some live brineshimp and frozen cyclops but I don't think they're eating it... Is it a lost cause?
I've also noticed that since I've moved to the bigger tank there are more eggs ready to hatch on a plastic plant, at least 10 with larvae and a few brand new ones. Should I leave these alone?
Thanks in advance!
