Is one cube of frozen bloodworms every three days enough for my 2 t. granulosa? They never seem to eat all of it.

If they don't eat all of it, it is. I've noted with mine, their appetite varies. Just follow their cues.
Maybe later in the season, they'll want more. If they eat it all really quick, try a little more; if they don't eat it all, try a little less or just clean up/throw out the extra.

My Tg's eat several 1/2 - 1" pieces of chopped earthworm 3x per week. They are large and sturdy but not overweight.

    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?
