I currently have this brine shrimp hatchery

SF Bay Brand Shrimpery Brine Shrimp Kit


The shrimp are starting to hatch, I'm planning on feeding my axolotl tonight. It says that there is only fresh water in the cup. I'm thinking I should still wash the shrimp off, to make sure theres no salt. Is that a good idea? Do I just dump the shrimp in? Is there any special way to feed the axolotl?

I'm worried about producing shrimp fast enough. I did a test batch, and only 10% of the eggs hatched. Maybe less. It produced a lot of shrimp, enough for two days. The waste of shrimp eggs make me sad though. Is there anything I can do. I have a bubbler and tubing, but the idea of it is strange to me. Do the shrimp really like being bubbled around like that? It looks very harsh.

    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?
