My brood range in size from 3 inches to just under an inch. The smallest has defied odds at so far still being alive, and having grown all its limbs..and most of all not being eaten!. There are 11 in total and at present are fed 2 medium earth worms twice daily. At approx what size do I drop to once daily feeding?
Also at what stage do they stop being larvae?
Thanks once again in advance.
 
I feed once daily after they've reached 3 inches.

As for the larvae thing... Technically adult axolotls are larval form (paedeomorphy), but... grey area, I suppose. Once they've grown back legs, you can probably start calling them juveniles.

    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?
