My husband asked a question today that I don't think I've seen before. Can we feed our axies salmon eggs? Like from a bait shop.

Great question! I am curious about it as well. You would think that salmon eggs would have great nutritional value, and would be a fun treat for them

I doubt they would be good food. Don't the bait shops usually have them packaged in preservative?

That's one of the things I'm not sure about. I've never been a fisher so I don't have experience with bait.

Not unless the salmon eggs are freshly harvested and free of chemicals. The ones from the bait shop are brined, dyed and as Michael stated packaged with preservatives.

    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?
